Eastenders’ Bobby Brazier looks effortlessly stylish during The British Soap Awards 2023

Bobby Brazier cut a smart figure when he joined his Eastenders cast at The British Soap Awards at The Lowry in Salford on Saturday night.

The 19-year-old actor, the son of the late Jade Goody, looked very sweet for the occasion in a nice dark green polo shirt.

He wore smart white chinos with silver-trimmed mustard loafers, while wearing sunglasses tucked into his shirt.

Bobby followed in his late mother’s footsteps into showbiz and is now a model and actor, having played Freddie Slater in EastEnders last year.

Clay Milner Russell, who plays Bobby Beale on the soap, also joined him on the red carpet.

Bobby is the eldest son of the late Jade Goody, while she also had son Freddie, 18, with her ex Jeff Brazier.

Jade tragically passed away in 2009 at the age of 27 after a battle with cervical cancer, and her death has been credited with a significant increase in the number of women attending their cervical screenings.

Bobby was only five years old when she sadly passed away, and recently said he bases his memory of his mother on what others tell him about her.

Speaking to The Times about what he remembered of Jade, he said: ‘Not very much. Maybe memories of memories. I always hear about her and what she meant to people. I think I know my mother through other people’s memories of my mother.’

This year’s British Soap Awards will be hosted by Jane McDonald, who was called up at the last minute to replace longtime presenter Phillip Schofield.

Opera singer and cruise ship favorite Jane, 60, was revealed as Phillip’s replacement on Thursday after he left ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to having an affair with a young male colleague This Morning.

He confessed to having an “ill-advised but not illegal” relationship with a man during his marriage to Stephanie Lowe, previously denying the affair when asked by his agent.

The presenter, 61, confirmed in a statement last week that he has resigned all his ITV jobs, including the ceremony.

And amid news of Jane taking over, fans hailed the star as the ‘perfect choice’ to officiate at the ceremony, which takes place at The Lowry in Salford, Greater Manchester.

Prior to hosting the awards, Jane said, “Oh my god…..everyone knows how much I love my soaps, this year I’ve had the honor of being featured in Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale so this is just a dream come true .

“Can’t wait to see all our amazing soap nominees and celebrate all their hard work with them – roll on the awards, I can’t wait!”
