Bobby Brazier of Strictly is learning how to dance from an EastEnders co-star.

The 15 competitors for Strictly Come Dancing 2023 have only a few weeks left to complete their preparations before taking to the dance floor for the first time.

Bobby Brazier, a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, is learning the ropes of the BBC competition from co-star of EastEnders and past contestant Molly Rainford.

In the previous year’s competition, Molly co-starred with expert Carlos Gu and advanced to the show’s finals.

She recently revealed that she had demonstrated some of her dance techniques to co-star Bobby before he entered the competition.

She said in an interview with The Mirror: “When I heard out Bobby was going for Strictly, right away I was showing him the frame.

“How about we practice together and you say I taught you everything you know,” I jokingly suggested to him.

The EastEnders actor received some guidance from Molly, who also said that he would have to work hard to learn the exercises.

“You will have to take it a little seriously at times, I told him. Give the technique some welly if you want Shirley to notice it.

But I’m certain he will put in a lot of effort because he wants to do things well. He is motivated to succeed… I’m going to experience severe FOMO while watching him perform.

Bobby recently received a severe warning about not becoming “distracted” by the attractive women on the show, according to a source close to him.

The insider said of the young man, who will need both of these attributes to advance on Strictly, “He is a highly determined young man with a naturally competitive attitude.

As Strictly has demonstrated in the past, it’s very simple for competitors to have their minds turned, so he needs to maintain concentration.

His loved ones simply don’t want to witness him mistakenly blow a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity due to temptations on the show.

Bobby gushed, “I’m so excited to be part of the Strictly line up, I can’t wait to start training like a professional dancer and adding a few moves to my locker,” when he first learned that he would be appearing on the program.

It’s going to be so much joy to perform in front of everyone, I can already tell.
