Jeff Brazier breaks his silence as Strictly viewers spot something ‘off’ with son Bobby

Jeff Brazier has spoken out after Strictly Come Dancing viewers noticed something seemed “off” with his son Bobby during his most recent performance.

Jeff sent a supportive message to ITV Emmerdale star Adam Thomas following his dance with Luba Mushtuk on Saturday night. After the show, which aired from 6.30pm, viewers speculated that something was “off” with Bobby. The BBC EastEnders star’s emotional and subdued appearance on the show caused concern, with Dianne Buswell hugging him and calling him her “rock”.

Fans quickly sent their support to the soap actor, who plays Freddie Slater in the BBC show. However, dad Jeff, who shares Bobby and his brother Freddy with the late Big Brother icon Jade Goody, has refrained from discussing the circumstances of the 20-year-old’s mood online.

Instead, he sent a supportive message to Adam, saying: “It was always coming,” after the Waterloo Road actor scored his highest score of the series so far. Thomas and pro Luba Mushtuk danced to I Wonder Why by Curtis Stigers, earning a score of 32 and causing Thomas’s brother, actor Ryan Thomas, to shed a tear as he watched from the audience.
