DAD DANCING
Soap actor’s TV host dad set to follow his footsteps and join Strictly three years after son got to the final
TV host Jeff Brazier could follow in his son Bobby’s footsteps by signing up for Strictly Come Dancing.
Insiders say the BBC has asked the 47-year-old This Morning regular to join this year’s line-up, three years after Bobby got to the final.

A source said: “Jeff was approached by the Beeb about taking part in Strictly this year and he is tempted.
“Previously he said he wouldn’t do it because he didn’t want to step on Bobby’s toes. But three years have passed now and it’s a massive opportunity for Jeff.
“He has discussed it with Bobby who thinks it would be amazing if his dad was to give it a go.
“Jeff has yet to sign his contract but everyone around him is urging him to do it.”
Former EastEnders actor Bobby, 22, reached the final with Dianne Buswell in 2023 but was beaten by Corrie actress Ellie Leach and her pro dance partner Vito Coppola.
Jeff, dad to Bobby and 21-year-old Freddy from his marriage to late reality TV star Jade Goody, was seen in the Strictly audience during his son’s run to the final.
He previously said: “That was Bob’s thing and I want to leave it to him. I’ve got plenty of things that I really enjoy doing. I’ll stay in my lane, I think.”
But if Jeff does now decide to take the plunge, he would join celebs including EastEnders actress Lacey Turner and former Love Island star Dani Dyer.
Dani had to withdraw from last year’s series after breaking an ankle before the live shows began.
The BBC said it would not comment on speculation about upcoming contestants.
