Bobby Brazier has shared how his dad was “really proud” of him after his performance on Saturday night.
The 20-year-old and his professional partner Dianne Buswelll, 34, left people in tears with their performance to This Woman’s Work on Saturday night. The emotional dance was in tribute to his mum, Jade Goody, who died when he was just five years old.
At the end of the performance, the camera cut to Bobby’s dad Jeff Brazier in the audience who was on the verge of tears. Speaking on spin-off show Strictly – It Takes Two last night, Bobby said: 'I remember looking at them after it finished and my dad just said, "well done", I could tell he was really proud.

"My brother stood up before the dance had even finished to start clapping before everyone else. It was really sweet."
The pair received their highest score of the series with 37 points which came as a relief after they landed in the bottom two the previous week. Dianne explained: “To be in the dance off the week before, he was just so positive all week and he danced so well. I’m in shock that little Bobby danced like that, it was so good.”
Bobby added: “It was a privilege. I always said before Strictly was even a thing in my mind that if I got to do Couples' Choice I would dance to that song.”
