Bobby Brazier to Perform Emotional Dance Tribute to Late Mum Jade Goody on Strictly Come Dancing

Bobby Brazier, the popular contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, is set to pay tribute to his late mother Jade Goody with a heartfelt dance performance on tonight's show. The EastEnders actor has chosen Maxwell's "This Woman's Work" as the song for his Couple's Choice routine, a track that holds significant meaning for him.

A Profound and Impactful Song

Brazier spoke about his song choice, explaining, "I've always thought it's the perfect song, the way he sings it, the lyrics are profound and very impactful for me." He went on to highlight specific lyrics that resonate with him, saying, "There's lyrics in particular – 'I should be crying but I just can't let it show' – and when I was a little bit younger and I was angry and resentful and I feared the world and just couldn't cry or express myself, it was those lyrics, hearing that, that would make me cry because it felt so true."

An Emotional Journey

Describing the upcoming performance on It Takes Two, Brazier revealed the emotional story behind the dance. "I am a child, well there is me as a child and then I come out as me now. I have got Dianne, who replicates a woman, let's say my mother probably, and we go on this journey throughout," he explained. Although the full dance routine has not been revealed yet, Brazier hinted that it will be emotional and could bring tears to the audience.

A Personal Connection for Dianne Buswell

Brazier's dance partner, Dianne Buswell, also shared her emotional response to the routine. She admitted, "The first ten seconds, even when we were in the rehearsal room, I couldn't look Bobby in the eyes because it made me well up." Buswell has been open about her own father's cancer battle and has been keeping fans updated on his progress.

As the Strictly Come Dancing audience eagerly awaits Brazier's tribute dance, it is clear that this performance will be a deeply emotional and powerful moment for both the contestant and viewers alike.
