On Thursday’s Loose Women, Denise Welch told Bobby Brazier that one of the world’s most legendary performers is pulling for him on Strictly Come Dancing.
The 20-year-old came on the ITV programme with his dancing partner Dianne Buswell at the end of the week, and Denise, 65, confessed she’d recently had dinner with her buddy Sir Michael Caine, and the 90-year-old actor offered some good words about Bobby.
According to Denise, Sir Michael said: ‘That Bobby Brazier, he reminds me of me.’
Denise then asked Sir Michael to elaborate and he hilariously replied: ‘He’s so good-looking.’
The Loose Women panellist then added to Bobby: ‘He thinks you’ve got it,’ and unsurprisingly, Bobby struggled to wipe the smile from his face .
How epic is that?
Bobby’s participation on Loose Women follows his announcement that his next routine will be an emotional homage to his late mother, Jade Goody.
Of the song he’ll dance to this weekend, Maxwell’s This Woman’s Work, EastEnders star Bobby said on It Takes Two this week: ‘It is the perfect song, sung by the perfect man and it is the perfect tone. The lyrics are just profound and touched me at my core – it is gorgeous.
‘I am going to have to work very hard this week to do it justice.’
He also stated that Dianne, 34, will play a crucial role in the routine.
‘I am a child, well there is me as a child and I come out as me now. I have got Dianne, who replicates a woman let’s say my mother probably,’ he explained.
‘We go on this journey throughout. I don’t know the whole dance yet to tell you completely but it is emotional. I think there could be a few tears.’
Bobby was five years old and his brother Freddie was four when Goody died from cervical cancer at the age of 27 in March 2009. Jeff Brazier, 44, reared them alone.
Bobby stated unequivocally that Goody ‘would be proud’ of him.
‘And not necessarily for Strictly, I think for everything. My life is a much bigger picture than this and everyone that knows and loves me is proud of me, and I think she’d be the same.’
