Bobby Brazier is convinced his late mum Jade Goody would be thrilled about his success.
The lad, 20, is fast becoming one of the biggest stars on TV.
Joining EastEnders to play cheeky Freddie Slater has made him a hit with millions of viewers and he’s about to win over even more on Strictly.

“Everybody that loves me… my family, my friends, they’re all really happy for me.
“They’re all really excited. They know Strictly is something I’ll love to do. Everyone is just buzzing for me. That makes me happy.”
Bobby’s protective dad Jeff, 44, has been on TV for years as a presenter and he’s given him his backing to go into showbiz.
He said: “My dad trusts me. I take things in my stride.”
Jade became one of the most popular stars in reality TV history when she shot to fame on Big Brother in 2002.
But Bobby insists he isn’t following in his mum’s footsteps when it comes to his career.
He said: “I wouldn’t say Strictly is the same kind of reality TV. I’m learning a skill.”
Bobby is the bookies’ favourite to win this year’s Strictly.

“When it’s the first live show, I’ll feel excited and nervous. I’ll feel all the emotions, I’m sure.”
