Bobby Brazier looks almost unrecognisable in adorable never-seen-before snaps enjoying a fun day out his grandmother Jackiey Budden.
The 20-year-old EastEnders actor is currently taking part in Strictly Come Dancing and will take to the dancefloor for the semi-final of the BBC competition this weekend. However, he looks worlds away from the ballroom in the throwback picture taken back in 2004.
Aged just 15 months old, baby Bobby can be seen dressed up as a police office in adorable snaps taken at a fun fair in Harlow Essex. Accompanied with his gran Jackiey, the youngster can be seen toddling around the event and trying out all the amusements.

In one photograph, adorable Bobby can be seen having his face painted as he enjoys some family time with Jackiey. Another picture shows Jackiey, wearing a pink vest, cuddling her little grandson Bobby as he’s distracted by the attractions. Jackiey’s daughter Jade Goody and her ex Jeff Brazier welcomed Bobby in 2003 and second son Freddie in 2004.

The pair split after Freddie was born and Big Brother legend Jade sadly passed away in 2009 at the age of 27. Following Jade’s death, Bobby and his brother were raised in Jeff’s Essex home. Jackiey previously launched a foul-mouthed attack on her ex son-in-law, Jeff. The clip, which has been shared by MailOnline, sees the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant praise Bobby before turning her attentions to Jeff. “I’m very, very proud of Bobby – he is doing amazing,” she declared. “It’s great to see. I watch as a very proud nan. It’s wonderful. Of course I am pleased he is doing well.”

Turning her attention to Jeff, she later added: “He’s been a c**k for f****** nine years.” Speaking in September after watching Bobby collect a Rising Star gong at the National Television Awards for his role as Freddie Slater in EastEnders, Jackiey told the same publication of the feud: “When I came out for the NTA Awards, I’m loud and it’s the drink and someone went ‘Oh I bet you’re really proud’ and ‘How do you get on with Jeff Brazier?’ and I said ‘He’s a c**k’. Next minute I’m on the internet and all over the papers. As I came out of the O2, someone overheard me say it, so they sold the story.”

Earlier this month, meanwhile, Jeff revealed he believes Jade is watching over her sons and he still asks her spirit for parenting advice. Jeff, who’s been a regular in the Strictly audience to watch son Bobby compete, says: “I often ask her for advice and we always find feathers.”
He continued: “Many an occasion I’ve asked, ‘What would you do?’ because it’s a tough responsibility having all the weight of it on your shoulders. She is always part of the conversation. Bobby has so much of her in him and we see that shine through in every performance. Of course for those she’s absolutely with us, she’s there.”
