BBC Strictly Come Dancing's shirtless Bobby Brazier gives Patrick Swayze vibes in first look at Musicals routine after fans' complaints

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Bobby Brazier has given fans a sneaky glimpse at his upcoming Strictly Come Dancing routine - and he was certainly giving off Patrick Swayze vibes.

The EastEnders star and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell are currently preparing for the quarter-finals of the BBC One dance contest.

The pair safely made it through to week eleven of the 2023 run of the competition during Sunday night's results show (November 26) after bouncing back from being in the dance-off the previous weekend when the show headed to Blackpool for its annual special in the iconic Tower Ballroom.

And it was certainly an emotional weekend for the pair Bobby, who plays Freddie Slater in EastEnders, and his dance partner Dianne Buswell performed a couple’s choice routine in week ten of the competition to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell in a routine Bobby dedicated to his late mother, who died in 2009 aged 27 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
