Strictly’s Bobby Brazier, 20, ‘could be heading for Hollywood and £2.6M bidding war’ after making his debut in the glitzy BBC competition
Bobby Brazier could seriously cash in after appearing in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing it’s been reported.
The EastEnders actor, 20, who took to the dance floor for the very first time on Saturday, could soon become the new ‘nation’s sweetheart’ before heading off to Hollywood, according to PR experts.
With one telling The Sun: ‘Strictly will show the US how versatile he is and no doubt make him even more appealing, he could be the star of the next hit drama to come from across the pond.’
Bobby, who plays Freddie Freddie Slater in the soap, recently scooped the Rising Star Award at the National Television Awards and following his stint on Strictly could soon be in high demand.
PR guru Carla Speight said: ‘He’s likely to find himself with a ‘golden handcuffs’ style contract, after a short bidding war between the channels’.

Exciting: The EastEnders actor who took to the dance floor for the very first time on Saturday, could soon become the new ‘nation’s sweetheart’ before heading off to Hollywood, according to PR experts (pictured with Strictly partner Dianne Buswell)
She pointed to the likes of Sarah Lancashire’s career who was reportedly earned £1.3M in a deal with ITV making her the highest-paid television actress in 2000.
Carla said: ‘Bobby will easily double that with the right channel and the right jobs.
It come after Strictly viewers spotted an awkward moment between Bobby and Dianne Buswell during Saturday episode.
Fans were left in hysterics after they caught Bobby getting confused with the Strictly timetable and reportedly thought he was dancing on Sunday evening.
When hosts Tess Daley and Claudia Winkleman said goodnight to the audience and viewers at home, Bobby looked baffled.
The hunk , who has previously admitted that he has never watched the show before, discretely asked Dianne if they were dancing tomorrow.
A grinning Dianne shook her head and said ‘next week’ as Bobby acknowledged that he now knew the timetable.

The pair gave an emotional performance on the ballroom for the first time, dancing to the foxtrot as they swept across the dancefloor to All About You by McFly.
And it seems the routine pulled at the heartstrings as Bobby’s dad Jeff Brazier shed a tear by the end of the performance.
As he stood to receive the judges comments, Tess pointed to the father in the audience who was visibly overcome with emotion after watching his eldest son.
Jeff raised Bobby, 20, and his brother Freddie, 19, as a single father after their mother Jade Goody tragically died of cervical cancer back in 2009.
The Big Brother star passed away at just 27 years old, leaving behind Bobby and Freddie who were just four and five-years old at the time.
Bobby joked earlier this week during an appearance on This Morning that he had never even watched Strictly before signing up for the show and had never heard of any of the dances.
But none of that seemed to matter on Saturday night as he wowed the judges with their sweet foxtrot.

And it’s not the first time Bobby has moved his dad to tears recently after he swelled with pride as his son accepted the award for Rising Star at the National Television Awards earlier this month.
The budding actor is carving out a career for himself on the screen with his role as Freddie Slater on EastEnders.
After his name was announced, Bobby immediately hugged his father, 44, who looked overjoyed at his son’s success.
Bobby credited his win to Jeff while on stage, saying: ‘This has very little to do with me and everything to do with my dad.
‘Over the course of the last 20 years I’ve heard him say, “because I can”. It was a mantra of his and him just saying that, “because I can”. Because I can, why not?’
