BRAD'S DESPERATE PLEA - LET ME SEE MY KIDS!

As the custody battle rages on, the actor is facing a lonely festive season

Brad Pitt has been warned he may face Christmas alone as his long-running custody battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie continues without any end in sight.

In a devastating blow, insiders say 57-year-old Brad’s hopes of taking his children to Missouri to spend the festive season with his family is completely offthe negotiating table and, even worse, any plans to see the older kids, including Shiloh, 15, are now under serious threat.

“Shiloh is becoming more vocal about what she does and doesn’t want,” says a family insider. “And she wants to spend Christmas with her mum and big brothers in LA, especially Maddox, who she’s missed hugely since he started college.

“It’s absolutely devastating news for Brad, and even though Shiloh is still a minor and will have to be given time with her dad, she’s at the age where her feelings are going to factor into the custody case.”

VICTORY FOR ANGE

There’s no doubt Shiloh and Angelina, 46, have become extra close this past year.
