Jade Goody's eldest son is about to take his first steps into the world of showbusiness after being given a role in EastEnders. Bobby Brazier has joined the cast of the BBC show with soap bosses teasing that his character is set to cause a stir when he arrives on Albert Square.
Bobby, who is the son of Jade - who died from cervical cancer in 2009 at the age of 27 - and TV star Jeff Brazier, will be joining one of the most famous families on the BBC One soap as he takes on the role of Freddie Slater, the son of Little Mo Slater. EastEnders will mark the 19-year-old’s acting debut.
Currently filming scenes that are set to air this autumn, Bobby said that he was “really excited” to be joining the soap and said that his experience had been “perfect” so far, praising the cast and crew for their support. “Everybody has been so beautiful to me and made settling in easier than I could’ve hoped,” he said.
