EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has confirmed that he is taking a break from the soap, and has already filmed his exit scenes. This comes just days after he won a Rising Star award at the National Television Awards.

Ahead of the show, Bobby also said he will dedicate a dance to his late mother, who died from cancer 14 years ago in 2009. He revealed this in an interview discussing which songs he wants to use while on the show.
“There’s a few – it depends on the mood. ‘Saturday Love’ and also ‘This Woman’s Worth’ by Maxwell – that would be beautiful, I’d hope to make people cry doing that. Maybe I’ll dedicate that one [to my mum]. I haven’t thought about it, but maybe that one,” Brazier said.
Strictly Come Dancing is set to air the first show of its new season this Saturday (September 16). Stars who make the move from EastEnders to Strictly tend to do well. James Bye gave a good account of himself last year, with Rose Ayling-Ellis going all the way in 2021.
