Jade Goody's son Bobby spotted getting cosy with EastEnders co-star ahead of 'chaos' debut

Jade Goody’s son Bobby Brazier has been pictured filming his EastEnders debut alongside fellow newcomer Ellie Dadd.

Bobby, who is the eldest son of TV presenter Jeff Brazier, 43, and the late Jade Goody, was unveiled as a new face in Albert Square, as he prepares to play the recast role of Little Mo's son Freddie on the BBC soap.

The 19-year-old was photographed with Ellie on Tuesday, who is set to play a new incarnation of Amy Mitchell, and the pair enjoyed an impromptu dance as they filmed scenes set to air this autumn.

This comes after the EastEnders newcomer was pictured filming his debut scenes as he attended an on-set wedding alongside a cast including Perry Fenwick.

Bobby looked dashing in the pictures which saw him sport a suave navy suit for the on-set wedding.

Bosses have teased that Freddie will cause quite the drama when he turns up on Albert Square, describing him as a "modern day lad" with a "sensitive soul" - but also promising "chaos and mischief" too.

Following his career announcement, Bobby released a statement on Instagram, admitting that he feels 'blessed' to have been cast as Little Mo's son, Freddie, on Albert Square.

Bobby said 'so far it’s been perfect' and described his venture into the soap world as 'a blessing' when sharing his career news on Instagram.

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.”

Bobby's character, Freddie, was last seen in Walford in May 2006 when he and Little Mo left to start a new life away from Walford.

Now an 18-year-old Freddie is set to arrive on The Square as he finds himself on a mission that could end in heartbreak.

The amazing acting role is Bobby's first major acting gig, after making a name for himself in the modelling world over recent years.

The teenager - who bears a striking resemblance to his late mother - has posed for major brands, like Dolce and Gabbana, and is a rising star in the industry.
