Who is Bobby Brazier?

Bobby Brazier is the son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody. Jade was a TV personality who rose to fame following her appearance on the third season of Big Brother in 2002 whilst his father Jeff is a TV presenter.

Over the course of her relationship with Jeff, Jade gave birth to two children with Bobby being the first, born in June 2003. He also has a brother, Freddy, who was born in September 2004.

Bobby was just six years old when his mother sadly died from cervical cancer on 22 March 2009. Following the death of his mother, Bobby and his brother were raised by their father, who gained sole custody of the pair.

The last few years have been a whirlwind for Bobby. In 2020, he made his runway debut, modelling for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week. And, just two years later, joined the EastEnders cast.

The National Television Award for Rising Star tops off a wonderful few weeks for Bobby, who was recently revealed as a contestant for the upcoming 21st season of Strictly Come Dancing.
