Strictly: Bobby Brazier praised by dad Jeff for ‘incredible courage’ and ‘sharing his grief’ with dance for mum Jade Goody

Bobby was aged just five when Jade died

Strictly star Bobby Brazier has made it to the quarter-finals next weekend with dance partner Dianne Buswell and no one is more proud than his dad Jeff.

Bobby, 20, paid an emotional tribute to his mum Jade Goody on Saturday night (November 25) which not only left the audience and judges teary but also his dad.

The EastEnders star and Dianne took on the Couple’s Choice this week, and their song was Maxwell’s This Woman’s Work. He revealed that the song was a “tribute” to his “superhero” mum. He also told how her death when he was just five years old “changed his life completely”.

Jeff Brazier full of pride for Strictly star Bobby

The proud dad wrote: “To share your grief even to just one person can be a daunting prospect but to express it so movingly in front of millions takes incredible courage so thank you for your inspiration @bobbybrazier!

“Encouraging many a conversation about loss and giving people an outlet for the tears they might find hard to release is a wonderful legacy of your time in the competition so far. You said something in the VT about making me proud of you. You and your brother achieved that a long time ago,” he added.

Jeff continued: “
