Bobby Brazier, the 20-year-old EastEnders star who plays Freddie Slater, may be treading the boards in the West End soon. Following his impressive Strictly Come Dancing stint, theatre bosses have reportedly taken notice and are considering him for lead roles in productions.
According to sources close to Bobby, his natural grace on the dancefloor has made him a desirable candidate for musicals and plays. The Sun reports that "they really feel he has star quality and would put bums in seats, given his huge popularity."
Bobby has had to temporarily leave EastEnders in order to focus on his Strictly training. EastEnders fans may be missing him for even longer, however, as he's set to join the Strictly Live Tour in the new year.
Speaking about the tour, Bobby said: "I love dancing and I love Strictly, so what better way to continue this brilliant experience than on the live tour!" The tour will take Bobby to cities around the UK, including Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham, before finishing the run in London in February.
Despite his current dancefloor commitments, Bobby has assured EastEnders fans that he will be returning to Albert Square once he's done. He said: "I'm taking a break. I've filmed it all, and I'll be back."
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday at 7.25pm on BBC One and iPlayer. If you have any celebrity news, videos or photos, don't hesitate to reach out to The Agency entertainment team.
