Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly in “final talks” to sign up EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, after impressing audiences on the soap.
The soap star joined EastEnders as Freddie Slater, but he’s also a model and known for being the eldest son of the late Jade Goody.
And now, the 20-year-old could be about to add dancing to his roster, if Strictly bosses manage to clinch the deal.

“Bobby is the dream signing for Strictly – he’s a young heart-throb who comes with a huge fanbase,” a source has claimed.
“He also has a very personal backstory and there’s so much love out there for Jade.”

The source added to The Sun: “There’s a few last-minute details to sort but the talks are in final stages.”
Bobby, whose dad is television regular Jeff Brazier, joined EastEnders after first entering the industry as a model.
He and his younger brother Freddie are the only children of the late Jade Goody, who shot to fame on Big Brother back in 2002.

Last year, Bobby admitted that he “didn’t miss her” – but it was for a devastating reason.
Speaking with fashion magazine The Face, he admitted: “I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on a mum. It’s normal life to me. I’ve kind of spent more life without her than I did with her.”
He went on: “I don’t [miss her]. Because I don’t feel like I was with her long enough to miss her.”

However Bobby did say: “I miss what could’ve been. I hear all the time she was such a presence, that she was one of a kind. What hurts most is that it wasn’t just losing anyone, it was losing Jade. I just would’ve loved to have seen what other people had seen.”
