BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s Bobby Brazier reaches out to fans as they spot ‘something off’

Bobby Brazier reached out to his fans after they spotted something ‘off’ about him this weekend on Strictly Come Dancing.

Fans had grown concerned for the EastEnders star and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell over the weekend as they thought things seemed ‘off’ and Bobby didn’t seem his usual self. After they made it through to the next week of the competition in scenes that aired on Sunday night, Bobby took to social media and reached out to fans.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: “My dear coach to learn from, friend to feel it all beside and big sister to drive loopy. Thankyou for your votes,” whilst Dianne commented on the post, adding: “me bestie, so proud of you love from COACH.”

Fans took to the comments on his social media to share their support for the pair. One wrote: “Oh how pleased I am, wonderful partnership, wonderful people, made me sad to see how you both were on Saturday, but onwards and definitely upwards. Can’t wait to see what you bring next week,” as a second added: “This is the cutest thing ever, you two have the best friendship.”

A third added: “Sooooo proud of you both!! Can’t wait to see you smash another week. We’re always proud of you and loved this weekend so so much,” with a fourth writing: “I loved watching you both last night. I hope your both ok and feeling all the love from all your supporters.” A fifth penned: “You can see how much love you have for Dianne. You guys makes the best team!!”

During their post-dance chat with Claudia Winkleman, Bobby admitted it had been an “emotional” week. He said: “It’s been emotional. So, so emotional. All week. But closing the show is a great privilege,” as Dianne added: “It was really difficult. I pushed you [Bobby] musically. That song is not easy to hear and you worked so hard to be able to hear the music.” She fought back tears and hugged Bobby before adding: “But he’s just been a massive rock this week so thank you.”
