Jade Goody ‘s son Bobby Brazier has stepped into the world of acting as he joined the cast of EastEnders.
It was announced on Thursday night that the 19-year-old will be taking on the role of Freddie Slater, the son of Little Mo Slater.
Viewers will be able to see his acting skills on screen this autumn when he steps foot into Walford.
Before trying his hand out at acting, the son of Jady and Jeff Brazier focused on his modelling career.
Since he turned 16, Jade’s lookalike son took the modelling world by storm and made his catwalk debut for fashion giant Dolce and Gabbana in Milan in 2020.
A couple of months later, he even landed his first international cover shoot for the appropriately titled Man About Town.
He previously opened up about how proud his mum would be and how he hoped she was smiling at him from heaven.

Bobby said it made him smile knowing his mum would love that he worked on fashion shoots and walked catwalks.
He told The Sun : “Like every boy, you want to think your mum would be proud of you.
“I hope she’s looking down on me and smiling, probably laughing, thinking, ‘Look at Bobby lying in a field in his designer gear’.
“I think she’d love the fact I’m doing these fashion shoots, walking catwalks and trying my best to make something of my life. It makes me smile just thinking about it.”
He currently boasts 105,000 followers on Instagram, with the model-turned-actor sharing snaps of his fashionable outfits and travels around the world.
The model even once revealed he wouldn’t mind trying out reality television just like his mother.
However, he wants to ‘make a name’ for himself before he gives it a go.

Bobby said he would ‘definitely’ agree to I’m A Celebrity in the future.
And now, it looks like making a name for himself is coming sooner than later after he joined EastEnders as Freddie.
Freddie was last seen in Walford in May 2006 when he and Little Mo left to start a new life away from Walford.
According to the description, the now-18-year-old Freddie ‘is set to arrive on The Square as he finds himself on a mission that could end in heartbreak…’
“I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders – so far it’s been perfect,” he sai about joining the show.
“Everybody has been so beautiful to me and made settling in easier than I could’ve hoped. Stepping into the acting world has always been a vision of mine and doing that with EastEnders as a Slater is a blessing, I’m very grateful.”
