Strictly's Bobby Brazier 'bans family member from BBC studio' following bust-up

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier has reportedly 'banned' a relative from watching his performance on the competition show following a feud.The EastEnders star, 20, is set to perform in the semi-finals of this year's show alongside professional Dianne Buswell, as the pair fight for a place in the final next week, reports the Mirror.The pair are set to perform in front of the judges and viewers at home tonight - but one family member has been banned from watching the star give it his all.Reports have claimed that Bobby's grandmother Jackiey Budden - who is Jade Goody's mother - isn't "allowed" to watch the star perform live in the crowd, even if he does make the final.A source now suggests there is a long-running feud between both sides of Bobby's family.

They told The Sun: "There is a lot of friction between the Brazier side of the family and Jackiey for several long-standing reasons."But viewers have been surprised not to see Jackiey in the Strictly audience as she is Bobby’s grandmother.

The prospect she is now facing is either not getting to see Bobby before he exits the semi-final, or not being allowed to watch him in person if he makes it to the final and wins the glitterball." Back in August, the granny said she was proud of Bobby after he was announced as one of the people taking part in Strictly this year.According to reports, the pair have a close relationship, with the actor often taking time out of his busy acting schedule to text Jackiey.She said: "He has to get up at 5am for EastEnders sometimes, so he’s always on the go.

We always text though which is lovely. He likes to keep an eye on his nana, just like Freddie does."Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp
