He’s set to make his Walford debut as Mo Slater’s son Freddie.

And Jade Goody’s son Bobby Brazier was certainly in good spirits as he twirled around with EastEnders newcomer Ellie Dadd on their way to filming on Tuesday.

The actor, 19, who will play a recast of Little Mo’s son Freddie in scenes airing this autumn, was seen larking around with young Ellie, who is set to play a new incarnation of Amy Mitchell.

In upsetting scenes, Amy will be at the centre of a harrowing bullying storyline this week, after taking a shine to Howie’s son Denzel, before being shown up by him and his friend Nugget.

Struggling to come to terms with the reality of being a teenager, Chelsea Fox will support Amy after tearing a strip off Denzel and Nugget for bullying her. 

Bobby was first spotted filming for EastEnders last month, with his character Freddie set to be among the drama at Kat Slater’s wedding to Phil Mitchell.

It came just days after his casting in the soap was announced taking over the role of Freddie who last seen in Albert Square in 2006.

Discussing landing his TV role, Bobby revealed he is ‘grateful’ for the opportunity and is ‘excited’ to join the EastEnders team.

He said: ‘I’m very grateful. Loving every minute of Freddie so far. I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders – so far it’s been perfect.

‘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. Loving every minute of Freddie and can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in Walford.’

Freddie was born after Little Mo, played by Kacey Ainsworth, was raped by her friend, Graham Foster. 

She refused to abort the baby, leading to the break up of her marriage to then husband, Billy Mitchell, played by Perry Fenwick.

Following the birth, Little Mo left Albert Square with Freddie to start a new life.

While it is not known exactly what is in store for Freddy, EastEnders bosses have said that he is ‘on a mission that could end in heartbreak’.  

Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: ‘Freddie Slater is a chaotic 18-year-old with a sensitive soul. A modern-day lad who’s in touch with his spiritual side. He’s philosophical, accepting, but full of mischief and makes mistakes.

‘Bobby is an amazing young addition to the EastEnders cast who brings heart and humility to the role of Freddie Slater and I can’t wait for audiences to get to know him.’
