Bobby Brazier may be about to quit EastEnders and embark on a brand new career.
The actor, 20, has played Freddie Slater in the BBC One soap since 2022, but following his split from Strictly Come Dancing co-star Ellie Leach he is now hoping he can emulate the success of global pop icon Harry Styles.
A source said OK! Magazine on Bobby and Ellie’s split: ‘Love blossomed between them when they met up close during the tour, but once it was over they both spent much less time together.
‘Bobby’s great love is singing, he wants to be a star singer on a global level, and some big music leaders think he could do that.
‘He wants to be the next Harry Styles, who is really taken seriously as a real artist. Now that the world is his oyster, he continues to act, but singing is really his passion.’
