Bobby Brazier has hinted he could pay tribute to his late mother Jade Goody during this weekend’s instalment of Strictly Come Dancing.
The actor, 20, was just five-years-old, and his brother Freddie, four, when Jade passed away on Mother’s Day, 2009, following a battle with cervical cancer.
Speaking on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two on Tuesday, Bobby explained how his next ’emotional’ dance routine could spark a tearful reaction.
He said: ‘We go on this journey throughout…I haven’t learnt the whole dance yet to tell you the story completely but, yeah it’s emotional.
‘It’s gonna be lovely. I think there could be tears.’

Bobby’s professional partner Dianne agreed as she added: ‘I mean the first 10 seconds when we were in the rehearsal room today I couldn’t look Bobby in the eye because it made me well up.’
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in September at the National Television Awards, Bobby revealed the songs he wants to dance to on the show.
He said: ‘There’s a few – it depends on the mood. Saturday Love and also This Woman’s Worth by Maxwell – that would be beautiful, I’d hope to make people cry doing that.’
‘Maybe I’ll dedicate that one [to my mum]. I haven’t thought about it, but maybe that one,’ he said at the time.
His dad Jeff famously brought up his sons singlehandedly when their mother died.
Jade’s death, like much of her life, was in the full glare of the media spotlight and saw her give heart-wrenching interviews in the weeks leading up to it as she enjoyed her last outings with Bobby and his brother Freddie.
Away from the cameras, Jade’s ex-partner found himself a single father to his boys, then aged five and four, and vowed to give them the best start possible.
Instead of attending her funeral, Jeff took the boys away to stay with family in Adelaide, south Australia, to escape the media attention.

He said: ‘It was always our priority, we wanted to do everything right for the kids and that was the case right up until the moment, and it didn’t stop at that point.
‘That’s when the boys really needed us to be on each other’s side and we were.’
Jade and Jeff welcomed their first son Bobby in 2003, followed by Freddie in 2004 and split after two years together, while she was pregnant with their youngest child.
Jade went on to marry reality TV star Jack Tweed, just one month before her tragic death, signing a £700,000 exclusive deal with OK magazine for rights to the photos.
