After discovering he is set to be a dad, Freddy reportedly decided he wanted to heal their rift, which stemmed from him alleging Jackiey first introduced him to cannabis – something she strongly denied.
An insider told the Mail: “The baby news has changed everything and Freddy doesn’t want to be estranged from his Nana, they’ve always been so close. He wants her to be involved in the baby’s life.
“The last few months have been very tricky. First Jeff tried to stop them seeing each other and then for some reason Freddy turned on her publicly and blamed her for some of his issues over the years.
“They’ve lived together on and off for years, and she’s the first person he turns to when he needs to retreat a bit from everything else going on in his life.”

Freddy, whose mum is the late Jade Goody, split from Holly earlier this year though they have since rekindled. His dad Jeff is believed to be “extremely supportive” of their baby news.
Race Across the World star Freddy recently posted a TikTok video showing Holly perched on a bed and called her “my beautiful baby mother to be.”
In another video, which featured his dog Pablo, he added: “Can’t wait to be a Dad.
“To love my child like I love dogs, dogs are my everything without Pablo I don’t know where I’d be.
“I bought him at a very low point in my life and I’ve been working on myself since I heard I’m going to be a father.
“I can’t wait for this chapter to start, fatherhood is going to be beautiful.”
Over on Instagram, he posted another grab and wrote: “I love my baby mamma to be.”
The Sun exclusively revealed Freddy’s big brother Bobby’s reaction to his baby news.
The actor, 22, said: “My dad broke the news to me about Freddy. I didn’t know what to believe to begin with. I’m looking forward to becoming an uncle – a funcle.
