TV star Freddy Brazier has been left devastated after his beloved pet dog mauled him in a terrifying ordeal, leaving the pocket bully facing being put down. The former Race Across the World contestant, 21, had to be rushed to hospital after his dog, Pablo, viciously turned on him.
Freddy, son of late Big Brother icon Jade Goody and This Morning star Jeff Brazier, initially went to St Thomas’ Hospital following the horrific attack. However, after enduring an agonisingly long wait, he ended up leaving and seeking medical treatment at the Royal London Hospital the following day instead.
Opening up about the nightmare, Freddy said: “He hooked on to my arm. The dog was hanging off me.”

Describing his injuries, the reality star said: “I couldn’t feel anything in my right arm. But then I saw blood coming out of my tracksuit.
“I opened it to see a 3cm hole in my arm. It was terrifying. He was just a completely different dog. Honestly, when I picked him up from my nan’s and got him out of the room, I was scared.”
Following the incident, officers seized the animal. Freddy was later served official notice via a police letter informing him that Pablo will be destroyed unless a suitable alternative home can be secured within a week, with the clock ticking down before a Tuesday deadline.

Speaking to The Sun, the distraught star said: “I’ve never been scared of Pablo, but I was scared. The police arrived to take Pablo and I watched him get taken by the thing that goes around their neck.
“It was heartbreaking. I watched my dog get dragged into a police car. Pablo had to spend the night in a cell, bless him. That is s***.”
The horrific incident has left Freddy unable to move or bend his arm. While he confessed the ordeal was “extremely painful”, he remains desperate to be reunited with his pet, despite acknowledging the chances are slim.

The incident comes just days after cops were dispatched to his nan Jackiey Budden’s residence, where neighbours reportedly heard blood-curdling screams as she was attacked by the same dog.
Onlookers described Pablo “gripping” onto Jackiey with his teeth during the scary episode. Both the Metropolitan Police and the London Fire Brigade rushed to the scene, though no criminal charges were brought.
A source said: “It’s been a shocking few days. During the first incident, Jackiey was home alone, and she was mauled – on this occasion, one of her panicked neighbours raised the alarm.”
Insiders added that the situation has been “awful” for Freddy, who “absolutely adores Pablo” and considers him a central member of the family.
A spokesperson for the star told The Mirror: “Freddy is currently being treated – we will keep everyone updated on his recovery.”
Freddy first brought Pablo home last summer, but the pooch quickly found itself in the middle of drama.
The reality star reportedly clashed with his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Holly, who allegedly tried to seize the animal during a fiery row.
Pocket bullies share identical characteristics with XL bullies, but managed to dodge the UK’s 2024 breed ban due to their shorter height.
