Bobby's life
Bobby Brazier is a 21-year-old actor from Harlow. His parents are TV presenter Jeff Brazier and reality star Jade Goody, who passed away from cervical cancer in 2009.
Bobby began his career as a model after being scouted by agent Cesar Perin when he was just 16. He made his runway debut in 2020, modelling for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week, before going on to appear at London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.
In September 2022, he made his first EastEnders appearance, playing Freddie Slater, the son of Little Mo Mitchell. The following year, he won the gong for Rising Star at the 28th National Television Awards for his performance. Last year, he joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing and he and professional partner Dianne Buswell managed to make it to the final, losing out to Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.
Dating history
Bobby is currently believed to be single. The actor was previously in a relationship with influencer and model Liberty Love. Bobby, who is thought to have dated Liberty for around 18 months, confirmed their split in a TikTok video released ahead of his Strictly debut.
In the video, Bobby was stopped on the street in London by a content creator who asked when the last time he "had a girl round to his place". Bobby replied: "Probably my ex-girlfriend months ago. I'm a nice person." When asked why the couple had gone their separate ways, Bobby responded: "It didn't match my priorities."
The star has been linked to numerous ladies however, including his EastEnders co-star Ellie Dadd, who joined the soap at a similar time to him.
Plenty of romance rumours swirled around the actor during his time on Strictly and he even referenced a partner when he explained: "I woke up one morning doing this [arm gestures] I woke myself up doing that, crazy! And then the week before, the person that I shared a bed with, I turned and said: 'This is the American Smooth'."
One of the women Bobby was linked to was dance partner Dianne Buswell, even though she is in a relationship with Joe Sugg. Following what appeared to be a near-kiss following their Argentine Tango, the dancer clarified on Good Morning Britain: "There's nothing untoward going on here, it's just the dancing."
Bobby was also linked with champion Ellie Leach, with the pair reportedly growing close while on the Strictly Live Tour. Ellie appeared to 'confirm' the relationship when she went 'Instagram official', posting a charming black and white selfie with the star as they posed cheek to cheek. However, the couple reportedly went their separate ways following the Live Tour.
Bobby has since been linked with another EastEnders castmate, Jazzy Phoenix, however, the pair have not commented on the possibility of a relationship.
