Jade Goody's son Bobby Brazier 'grows close' to EastEnders co-star after joining soap

Just days after it was reported that Bobby Brazier was growing close to his ex-girlfriend Liberty Love, it now seems that he is having a blossoming friendship with his EastEnders co-star.

The 19-year-old son of late reality star Jade Goody is reportedly become 'inseparable' from his co-star Ellie Dadd, 17, who took over the role of Amy Mitchell.

Bobby made his debut last month as Freddie Slater in the BBC soap and is said to have "hit it off' with Ellie, behind the scenes.

An insider told The Sun : "Bobby and Ellie hit it off straight away and have fitted right in with the younger cast members.

“They have become really good mates and clearly enjoy each other’s company.”

In a clip that their co-star Milly Zero shared last week, Bobby and Ellie were seen with their arms around each other as they took time out between takes by lounging on a sofa together.

They have also been exchanging comments on social media, with Bobby describing Eliie as her "princess" while she came back, calling him her "prince".

This comes after Bobby, who is the son of TV presenter Jeff Brazier and Big Brother icon Jade Goody - who tragically died of cervical cancer aged 27 in 2009, had reportedly grown close to his ex-girlfriend Liberty.

He had posted a picture of them both staring into each other's eyes in a particularly loved-up pose.

Bobby then deleted the snap but not before it sparked speculation of a reconciliation between the pair.

The actor has also spoken about his delight at landing the role of 'Little Mo' Slater's son on Albert Square.

Ahead of his debut on the soap, Bobby said: "I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders — so far it’s been perfect.

"Everybody has been so beautiful to me and made settling in easier than I could’ve hoped.

“Stepping into the acting world has always been a vision of mine and doing that with EastEnders as a Slater is a blessing.

“I’m very grateful. Loving every minute of Freddie so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in Walford.”
