John Whaite gives advice to new Strictly Come Dancing contestants

Strictly Come Dancing’s Bobby Brazier has opened up on the “tough” training he and his co-stars have started and revealed the advice his EastEnders co-star has given him.

Bobby is already bookmakers’ favourite to win the 21st series of the BBC One show and his bubbly and funny character is already a massive hit with fans.

Speaking to Express.co.uk and other press, Bobby opened up on how he was finding learning the steps of his first dances.

He explained: “It’s also pretty tough, it is tiring. These people [professionals] are genuinely the fittest people I have ever met you know.

“They can do 10 times the intensity we’re doing, way more technical but for way more hours you know and there’s me like ‘I’m tired’.

“I’ll be honest I am tired, my body is not used to this, and I am waiting for it to catch up. But it is super fun and we are all meeting each other and making friends.

“There are going to be a lot of emotions and I am excited to feel all of the emotions, the big, the good ones, the bad ones to the fullest extent.”

Bobby also revealed what EastEnders co-star James Bye, who plays Martin Fowler in the soap, advised for the young star.

“Not really, Jimmy Bye keeps telling me to eat because he doesn’t want me to get super skinny but yeah that’s all really.”

His Strictly co-star Zara McDermott teased: “Bobby has been sending voice notes, we have a great group chat with all of us in it and he has been going ‘Everybody do your stretches’.”

Laughing, Bobby admitted: “I have not been doing my stretches.”

Bobby recently won the Rising Star National Television Award for his arrival on EastEnders as Freddie Slater.

Accepting the award, Bobby said: “This actually has very, very, very little to do with me and everything to do with my dad. Over the course of the last twenty years, I have consistently heard him say ‘because I can’.

“It was a mantra or a motto of his, and him just saying that it’s… Because I can!”

Strictly Come Dancing returns September 16, from 6:35pm on BBC One.
