EastEnders sign up tragic Jade Goody's son Bobby Brazier as bosses recast character

EastEnders have signed up Bobby Brazier for a new role on the BBC One soap.

Bobby - the son of the late Jade Goody and television personality Jeff Brazier - will be joining the BBC programme in his role as Freddie Slater, who is the son of Little Mo Slater. Bobby already has a number of modelling credits to his name, but at 19-years-old, this will mark his biggest acting job to date.

Bosses have teased that Freddie will cause quite the drama when he turns up on Albert Square, describing him as a "modern day lad" with a "sensitive soul" - but also promising "chaos and mischief" too.
