Bobby Brazier relaxed with his father Jeff and younger brother Freddie on Sunday after turning in another strong performance on Strictly Come Dancing.
The 20-year-old, who has emerged as a fan favourite this season, received an astounding 32 points on Saturday night while performing a Viennese Waltz with professional dance partner Dianne Buswell, 34.
Bobby’s ‘assurance which helps you sweep across the floor’ earned him the ‘best dance’ award from Anton Du Beke, while head judge Shirley Ballas said, ‘I was really happy with it.’
Although some viewers were united in their dissatisfaction with one aspect of his performance, the couple made it through another week with relatively little stress – though Bobby did have to face the reality of losing his confidante Eddie Kadi in the dance-off against Zara McDermott.
This looked to be in stark contrast to the previous week, when both Bobby and Dianne appeared to be ‘off,’ with the model and actor subsequently expressing why he felt ‘real deflated’.
Dad Jeff, 44, accompanied him and the more media-shy Freddie, 19, along with his wife Kate Dwyer to recuperate at an ice bath and sauna session out in the countryside to celebrate his survival to dance once again.
Jeff congratulated his youngest and girlfriend for their ‘excellent effort’ after jumping into the ice bath while sharing photographs and films from their visit to the Croft Farm Escape against the lovely background of Hertfordshire.
‘Great to help @bobbybrazier recover for another week of hard work! (Thanks to those that voted for him ❤️),’ the proud dad added.
Jeff shared a group shot of them standing in brilliantly coloured cover-up coats in the sun on the deck, as well as a video showing EastEnders star Bobby resting very comfortably in the metal ice bath while he took in the breathtaking scenery.
He also played with Freddie by rubbing a large ice cube on his chest to ensure he was chilly enough during his frigid dip.
‘We enjoyed it so much I’ve invested in one for the garden 💪🏻❄️,’ the TV presenter revealed in his caption.
Jeff, who rose to stardom after appearing on Shipwrecked in 2001, had two sons with his late ex-partner Jade Goody.
The Big Brother contestant died of cervical cancer in 2009, at the age of 27.
Jeff recently highlighted why no one should anticipate Freddie, who is less public, to follow in his elder brother’s footsteps and participate on Strictly.
‘Freddie has spent his whole life looking at his older brother and that is difficult for most siblings,’ he said.
‘No, I don’t think Freddie wants to do reality programmes and he hasn’t been inspired to do what his brother has done because whenever Bobby has done something, whether it’s karate or football, Freddie’s been like “I’m not doing that,” because it’s something that he doesn’t have to measure up to his brother or against him.’
He added: ‘All I’m describing is something that happens in most families, Freddie wants to forge his own path, his qualities are immense in terms of his emotional intelligence. So I’m really excited for his future, but there’s no pressure on Freddie to follow in anyone’s footsteps whether that be Bobby, mine or his mum.’
