Gogglebox celeb turns down spot on Strictly - because he doesn't want to steal co-star's thunder

ok.co.uk:

Jeff Brazier has revealed that despite being approached for Strictly Come Dancing, he would not do the show out of fear it would 'steal the thunder' from his son Bobby, who danced in the ITV competition last year.

Bobby and Jeff - who are co-stars on Celebrity Gogglebox - delighted fans with their humour when they joined Celebrity Gogglebox last year and are set to return for the show's upcoming series.

The show adds to Bobby's growing number of TV appearances since he joined EastEnders as Freddy Slater in 2022 and his recent Strictly stint.The young actor is following in the footsteps of his famous parents, TV presenter Jeff and reality star Jade Goody, who passed away in 2009.

But despite Jeff being in showbusiness much longer than his son, the presenter has admitted that Strictly is 'Bobby's thing'. "Bobby’s been there, it’s his thing. "I feel like to step into that world would almost be to sort of steal his thunder slightly.That was Bob's thing and I want to leave it to him," Jeff told The Sun.
