Bobby Brazier fights tears over younger brother’s ‘inspirational’ message
Bobby Brazier speaks about inspiring his brother
Strictly Come Dancing finalist Bobby Brazier held back tears on the final instalment of It Takes Two on Friday evening where he was joined with his partner Dianne Buswell ahead of the final.
Bobby will be vying for the Glitterball Trophy alongside Layton Williams and Ellie Leach – but only one star will be crowned this year’s winner.
The EastEnders actor watched a montage of his Strictly Come Dancing experience unfold on the BBC Two programme, which left his Australian dance partner Dianne Buswell in floods of tears.
When Bobby’s family, including his younger brother Bobby and father Jeff Brazier, appeared in the video to share how proud they were of the 20-year-old, he got emotional.

Bobby looked visibly emotional as host Fleur East asked the actor about his time on the BBC programme after “a long 13 weeks”.
When asked what it would mean to him to lift the Glitterball Trophy, a tearful Bobby said: “Just to inspire my brother is everything. What he just said means the world. That is everything.”
