Eastenders star and the son of the late Jade Goody, Bobby Brazier, is set to appear on Strictly Come Dancing's new season.

The 20-year-old rose to fame after playing Freddie Slater on the BBC soap, but most people know him from his famous parents Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody. Now set to show off his dancing skills on the BBC reality series, the actor said: "I’m so excited to be part of the Strictly line up, I can’t wait to start training like a professional dancer and adding a few moves to my locker." “I’m looking forward to performing in-front of everyone, it’s going to be so much fun!” Bobby added. Bobby isn't the only star announced for this season as Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon has also been announced to be appearing on the show. https://twitter.com/bbcstrictly/status/1689183205390204928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1689183205390204928%7Ctwgr%5E48393632ded5acc75f5f4b13086a1dbd8f4b6384%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoss.ie%2Ffeatured%2Fstrictly-come-dancing-2023-eastenders-star-joins-the-line-up-347272 She said: "Terrified and excited, it turns out I'm not good at keeping a secret.
