Bobby Brazier has said his late mother Jade Goody would be “proud” as he spoke of joining the cast of BBC soap opera EastEnders. The 19-year-old made his acting debut as he appeared in Albert Square on Tuesday (September 6) night taking on the role of Freddie Slater.
His character is the son of Maureen “Little Mo” Slater and was last seen in Walford in 2006, when he and his mother left to start a new life. Freddie, now aged 18, has made a return to Walford and is said, by the BBC, to find "himself on a mission that could end in heartbreak".
Bobby appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Wednesday morning in his first TV interview. Speaking to Richard Arnold from the set of EastEnders, he admitted he felt nervous ahead of his new role but that the cast had made him feel “so comfortable straight away”.
