After the performance, he appeared emotional as his family watched in the audience and judges Shirley and Motsi Mabuse gave him standing ovations. He received a score of 37 points.
Both Shirley and fellow panellist Anton Du Beke were moved to tears by his tribute dance.
Bobby’s father Jeff was also in tears as he called his son Bobby ‘a walking tribute to his mum’.
In the emotional VT before Bobby’s performance with his partner Dianne, Jeff paid tribute to Jade and how proud she would be of their son.
He told the camera: ‘As a family we are very tight, we have had to be as loss has made us grow closer.’ Bobby added of his love for his dad by saying: ‘To be someone that my dad is proud of is everything.’
Breaking down in tears Jeff called himself ‘the lucky one’, explaining: ‘I’m the one who gets to bring the boys up I’m the one who gets to watch him on Strictly and it brings so much joy to my life, I’m very, very grateful for that.’
It comes one week after Dianne’s father Mark, who lives in Dianne’s native Australia with her mum Rina, started chemotherapy for his own cancer battle.
During rehearsals, Dianne, 34, admitted she’s been struggling to hold back tears as the song reminds her of how Bobby lost his mother as a child and became the man he is today.
Bobby and Dianne were given a score of 37 out of 40 for their dance by judges Shirley, Craig Revel Horwood, Anton and Motsi.
Viewers took to Twitter to offer their praise for Bobby and Dianne after their performance aired.
One person wrote: ‘I knew I’d be a mess watching Bobby’s dance but I was gone as soon as the VT started. The dance was beautiful, I’ve always loved that song. Jade would be so so proud.’

Of his song choice, Bobby said: ‘I’ve always thought it’s the perfect song, the way he sings it the lyrics are profound and very impactful for me.
‘There’s lyrics in particular – ‘I should be crying but I just can’t let it show’ – and when I was a little bit younger and I was angry and resentful and I feared the world and just couldn’t cry or express myself it was those lyrics, hearing that, that would make me cry because it felt so true.’
Bobby has revealed the two words he would say to his late mother Jade if he could see her again.
Speaking before his emotional tribute to her on Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing, Bobby told the Mirror: ‘If I could see her again for one moment, I’d tell her, ‘Thank you’ and give her a cuddle.’

She wrote on social media: ‘I’m so proud of you dad. First round of chemotherapy today! I wish I could be there to hold your hand and support you in person but I do know that I’m making you so proud over here in my concert every week.
