Family Feud Keeps Jackiey Budden Away from Studio
Bobby Brazier’s nan, Jackiey Budden, is devastated after being excluded from the Strictly dance floor due to an ongoing family dispute. She was not invited to watch her grandson, EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, perform in the studio due to a feud with his father, Jeff.
Desperate to Reconcile and Support Bobby
Despite their falling out years ago, Jackiey is eager to mend their relationship in order to cheer on Bobby as he challenges for the Glitterball Trophy. Last night, she expressed her disappointment, saying, "Unfortunately, I haven't seen Bobby live. I would have loved to, but it's just one of those things. I've been supporting him from home, watching every moment."
Praising Bobby's Tribute to Late Mother
Jackiey commended Bobby's dance routine dedicated to his late mother, Jade Goody, who passed away from cervical cancer in 2009. Jade was Jackiey's only child, making the performance especially emotional for the family.
Jeff Claims Jackiey Overstates Contact with Bobby
Bobby's father, Jeff, has disputed Jackiey's claims about how often she sees her grandson. Jeff, 44, argues that she "overstates" their contact. Bobby is allocated two tickets per week for family and friends to attend his performances on Strictly.
