Bobby Brazier ‘over the moon’ with Strictly progress
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Bobby Brazier has admitted to feeling like he is already struggling with his training after missing “a few steps”.
Speaking to Express.co.uk at the National Television Awards, he admitted that he was “excited, [and] I’m really lucky” to be taking part in the show.
When asked if he was happy with the way it was going, Bobby explained: “Over the moon, it’s going exactly the way I wanted it to,” however he added: “Not getting a few steps.”
Bobby recently shot to stardom when he landed a role on BBC One soap EastEnders as Freddie Slater, becoming part of one of the biggest families on the show.
Teased about whether he likes EastEnders or Strictly more, he said: “I wouldn’t like to compare the two. EastEnders is great, Strictly is great.

“I don’t think me doing Strictly makes my time at EastEnders better.”
Despite admitting to feeling as if he was struggling with the steps in his training already, his EastEnders co-star Molly Rainford has been teaching him a thing or two about the competition.
Molly competed last year with professional dancer Carlos Gu and made it to the finals, impressing the judges week after week.
Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: “I had no idea Bobby was going for Strictly but when I found out, straight away I was showing him the frame.

“I joked to him, ‘How about we practise together and then you say I taught you everything you know’.”
She added: “I said to him, ‘You will have to take it a bit seriously at times. If you want Shirley to notice the technique, you have to give it some welly.’
“But I’m sure he will work hard because he’ll want to get things right. He has the drive for it… I’m going to have major FOMO (fear of missing out) watching him perform.”
