The 20-year-old actor is the son of 'Big Brother' legend Jade Goody - who died in 2009 at the age of 27 following a battle with cervical cancer - and her former partner Jeff Brazier and in this week's heat of the BBC Latin and ballroom competition has chosen to dance a contemporary and ballroom number to Maxwell's version of Kate Bush track 'This Woman's Work'.

Speaking on 'Strictly: It Takes Two', he said: "It is the perfect song, sung by the perfect man and it is the perfect tone. The lyrics are just profound and touched me at my core - it is gorgeous. I am going to have to work very hard this week to do it justice."

The 'EastEnders' actor is competing on the show with professional partner Dianne Buswell who noted that she had "never done anything like it" in her couple's choice routine as Bobby revealed she will be playing the part of his mother for the night.

He said: "I am a child, well there is me as a child and I come out as me now. I have got Dianne, who replicates a woman let's say my mother probably."

Whilst taking on the role of Jade - who famously worked right up until her death in order to earn money to put into a trust fund for Bobby and his brother Freddie - Dianne revealed that she initially struggled to even look Bobby in the eye because of how she teared up in the moment.

She said: "We go on this journey throughout. I don't know the whole dance yet to tell you completely but it is emotional. I think there could be a few tears. The first ten seconds, even when we were in the rehearsal room, I could not look Bobby in the eye because it made me well up."
