Personal Life

Brazier's father, Stephen Faldo, was the skipper of the pleasure boat Marchioness, which sank on the River Thames in 1989 after being hit by a dredger, killing him as well as 50 others.

Brazier has two sons from his relationship with Big Brother contestant Jade Goody, whom he was with from 2002 until 2004. They were both born in Harlow, Essex: Bobby Jack (born 2003) and Freddy (born 2004). Brazier resides in Chelmsford, Essex. They appeared in Wife Swap in 2003 and Brazier was occasionally seen in Goody's Living shows. She died on 22 March 2009 and left Brazier full custody of their sons. He did not attend her funeral in April 2009, which was widely regarded as disrespectful, but instead took their sons away from the media spotlight to stay with relatives in Adelaide, Australia.

He presented a documentary on Living TV called Superdaddy where he uses his experiences of being a single father to help other families learn to communicate with regards to their children. He insisted his sons, Bobby and Freddie, were not involved in filming and revealed during the show he has a privacy order banning any unauthorised images of the boys since Goody died, stating he prefers them to have a normal upbringing away from any media spotlight.
