EastEnders’ Bobby Brazier signs up for Strictly Come Dancing

EastEnders star Bobby Brazier is reportedly set to sign up for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The actor, 20, who plays Freddie Slater in the BBC soap opera, has apparently caught the eye of the ballroom dancing competition bosses after impressing the viewing public.

It’s rumored that model Bobby, the son of the late Big Brother star Jade Goody, will also add content to Strictly with his interesting family background.

A source told The sun: ‘Bobby is Strictly’s dream signing – he’s a young heartthrob who comes with a huge fan base.

“He also has a very personal backstory and there is so much love for Jade.

“There are some last-minute details to be worked out, but talks are in the final stages.”

MailOnline has contacted the BBC and a representative for Bobby for comment.

Bobby, who joined EastEnders last August, is the son of the late Jade Goody, who tragically passed away in 2009 from cervical cancer at the age of 27. His father is TV host Jeff Brazier.

Jade rose to fame in 2002 in the third series of the reality TV show Big Brother.

She finished fourth on the Channel 4 show and later competed on the spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother in 2007 where she was deemed racist after making comments about her Indian housemate.

Bobby is Jade’s eldest child from her relationship with his father Jeff, and the couple also had a son Freddie together in 2004 before going their separate ways soon after.

In March, Bobby paid tribute to his late mother with a sweet Instagram post.

He called Jade his “guide” when he shared some of his modeling photos on the social media platform.

Bobby wrote in the caption, “Genes on his side, god in his heart and goody as his guide.”

It comes after Bobby opened up about his late mother Jade and his take on the “fake baby” debate.

Bobby was only five years old at the time and revealed that he bases his memory of his mother on what others tell him about her.

Speak against The times of what he remembered about Jade, he said, “Not very much. Maybe memories of memories. I always hear about her and what she meant to people. I think I know my mother through other people’s memories of my mother.’

Bobby said, “I never really thought about her experience of fame. I think it’s foolish to assume that someone’s experience of fame is glamorous, or that it will make you whole or happy. It might make some things better, but in doing so it makes other things worse.’

He gave his thoughts on the current “fake baby” debate, saying, “Simply put, what good is an opportunity if you can’t make it happen? I really believe in my abilities. So thank you mom and dad for the opportunities that come my way. But I can thank myself for believing in myself, and my father for the faith he gave me.’

Bobby, who lives with his father Jeff Brazier, 43, brother Freddie, 18, and stepmother Kate, previously told The sun how he believes Jade would “love it” that he would “do my best to make something of my life” after building a career as a model.

He said, “Like any boy, you want to think your mother would be proud of you.

“I hope she looks down at me and smiles, probably laughs, and thinks, ‘Look at Bobby lying in a field in his designer gear.’
