EastEnders hunk Bobby Brazier has emerged as the frontrunner to dance his way to glory on Strictly Come Dancing, but his family and friends are concerned that his wandering eye could scupper his chances.
The son of late Big Brother star Jade Goody and TV presenter Jeff Brazier has a way with the ladies. However, he’ll need to keep his charm dialled down if he wants to fulfil his potential.
While his partner is yet to be formally announced, the rumour mill is rife with speculation that he’ll be paired alongside the glamorous Nadiya Bychkova.

A source close to Bobby told The Sun: “He is a very determined young man with a naturally competitive spirit — both qualities which he’ll need to progress on Strictly. But he has to remain focused because, as Strictly has proved in the past, it’s very easy for competitors to have their heads turned.
“His nearest and dearest just don’t want to see him unintentionally waste the chance of a lifetime by temptations on the show.”
Bobby arrived in Albert Square last year with a bang, starring as Little Mo’s son Freddie Slater.

During his time in Walford thus far, he’s been at the centre of an ADHD diagnosis storyline and even uncovered the real identity of his father.
But now he’s trading the London streets for the dance floor, where he’ll go toe-to-toe with the likes of Les Dennis, Adam Thomas and Zara McDermott.
His father can’t wait to watch his son win the hearts of the nation with his “beautiful nature”.

He told The Daily Mirror: “I’m really proud of Bobby and the attitude he has had since he’s been on EastEnders. He’s wanted to absorb as much from all the incredibly experienced actors around him. He’s made a really good start to his career, and I can see he’s proud of himself, too. I can see every time I switch it on that he’s got better. Every time I watch it, I can see he’s better in the terms of the layers. I’m no acting expert, I can’t say how good he is, but I’m really proud of my son. He’s had an opportunity, and he’s taken it.”
He continued: “I remember being told you live vicariously through your kids; I guess most parents do. When they start to achieve from a career point of view, it’s special. He’s made a mark, and now he gets to have another very different experience.”
