Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier supported by rarely-seen brother Freddie at live show

Strictly Come Dancing fans were excited as Bobby Brazier’s younger brother Freddie made a rare public appearance to support him.

Over the weekend, the EastEnders star impressed judges with his samba, with professional partner Dianne Buswell, while dressed as star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet for Movies Week.

And while Bobby revelled in the applause following his dance, his younger brother Freddie, 19, was seen in the audience, clapping, and beaming with pride.

The 20-year-old bowled many over as he was praised for making “quite an unnatural dance for men look very natural” and received eights across the board for his attempt.

The model’s pro partner Dianne joked that his “hips didn’t lie” and Strictly fans agreed.

A viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I haven’t watched Strictly in yonks and I’ve never heard of Bobby Brazier but I’m absolutely obsessed with this.

“Couldn’t work out who was the professional and who was the celeb. That smile! Those hips! What a vibe.”

“Bobby gets a 10 from me for his hips alone !!!” a second penned.

A third commented: “Watching strictly.. if they ever make another bio on the stones then young Bobby Brazier is a shoo in for a young Jagger .. the hips , the lips .. and the hair … nailed on.”

The son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody recently praised his father when he picked up the rising star award at last month’s National Television Awards.

During his acceptance speech, Bobby said his win had “very little to do with me and everything to do with my dad”.

He shared: “Over the course of the last 20 years I’ve heard him say, ‘because I can’. It was a mantra of his and him just saying that ‘because I can’. Because I can, why not?”
