The message was shared alongside a photo of Freddy stood in a field on the other side of a fence from a horse. Over the photo, he wrote: "Taking time out to work on a few things. Podcast will still be released, just ain't got a date for ya!"

Freddy included an emoji depicting two hands together, often considered a praying emoji, and a red heart in the caption. Whilst the post on the platform included Dr. Dog's song Where'd All the Time Go? as its soundtrack.

Freddy, who is the youngest child of Jeff and the late Jade Goody, announced the podcast last week. He teased that it would involve him discussing his childhood, including losing his mother, addiction and relationships.

He told fans in a post: "I hope to be relatable, I hope my experiences and stories touch your hearts and make some of you feel less alone and maybe heard or even validated." Freddy also assured that the podcast would be "funny" and cover a variety of topics.

The news this week that the launch of the podcast has been delayed comes following reports just days ago that Freddy is expecting a baby with a former partner. The situation is said to have "blindsided" him.

It however is said to have led to a reconcilation between Freddy and his father Jeff. The father and son, who appeared on Celebrity Race Across the World last year, were thought to be estranged earlier this year.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: "It has blindsided him and has been one of the things that has really brought him and his dad back together, but it's so devastating that Jade isn't here to see it." They added: "Jeff was one of the first people he decided to confide in to ask for advice. He stepped up straight away and wanted to help in any way he could."

Following the news, Jeff teased that he was looking for parenting advice himself. He shared a photo of himself sat on a sofa and Freddy appeared to be lying beside him.

Jeff wrote in the caption: "If someone could send me that parenting guidebook, particularly 'early adult years the unconventional path', that would be really helpful, thanks." He included an emoji blowing a kiss and a laughing emoji in the caption.
