Jade Goody's son Bobby Brazier 'really excited' to land role in EastEnders

msn.com:

Bobby Brazier - the son of late Big Brother star Jade Goody - is set to make his acting debut in EastEnders. The 19-year-old will take on the role of Freddie Slater, the son of Maureen "Little Mo" Slater, and is currently filming scenes scheduled to air this summer.

Freddie was last seen in Walford in 2006 when he and his mother left to start a new life. He is now returning to Albert Square at the age of 18, and although he has "a heart of gold" he can't help getting himself into "mischief", show bosses say.

Goody, who died in 2009 aged 27 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer, had Bobby and his brother Freddy, now 17, with fellow reality TV star Jeff Brazier. Video: Geordie Shore star on dad's alcoholism (Sky News)Ukraine first lady on son's soldier dreamPassenger smashes window in 40.
