Bobby Brazier's rumoured new girlfriend Jazzy Phoenix has shared a rare comment about their blossoming romance. Soap and Strictly fans will know that 20-year-old Bobby has played Freddie Slater on long-running
BBC show EastEnders since 2022 - while 23-year-old Jazzy has also played a role on the show. She appeared in episodes that aired in 2023 playing a sex worker named Nadine Keller - and is set to return to Albert Square this month where her character will form a relationship with Jay Brown, played by 29-year-old Jamie Borthwick . Reports have suggested that Bobby and Jazzy have formed a relationship since she returned to the BBC soap - and following his split from Coronation Street star Ellie Leach, 23, after their whirlwind romance came to an abrupt end. Bobby and Jazzy are said to be keeping their blossoming relationship largely to themselves, but now the
Singer, dancer and
Actress has shared a small piece of information about their romance. The actress, who was born in
Salisbury, but largely raised in
New Zealand before returning to the
UK in 2020, has offered her opinion of Bobby. And while her comment is very limited, she paints the soap hunk - who was a runner up on
Strictly Come Dancing last year - her seal of approval.

Instead, Jazzy appeared happy to gush about other cast members - explaining she has bonded with acting icon Patsy Kensit, 56, since joining the cast last year. Speaking of her friendship with the acting legend, Jazzy said: “I had the best time at EastEnders. Everybody was so kind, it was the most fabulous place to work... [Patsy] gave me a lot of advice about my career, which was to be true to myself, stay authentic and make sure I follow my dreams.” Bobby is still reasonably fresh from a reported failed romance with Ellie. The pair were contestants on Strictly together last year - with Ellie winning the contest alongside 33-year-old dance partner Vito Coppola. The soap stars, along with other celebs from the 2023 season of Strictly, embarked on a UK tour earlier this year - where Bobby and Ellie are said to have fallen for each other. But the romance fizzled out soon after the tour ended in February. Now Ellie has reflected on the fling in a new interview with Fabulous magazine. She revealed: "During the series you’re with your dance partner 24/7. And when you’re in the studio on Friday and Saturday there are time constraints, so you don’t really get to spend time with each other. “On tour we were able to be together and learn about each other, which we hadn’t really had the chance to do.” She went on to say they “bonded” on tour - and insisted they are still firm
Friends. She gushed: “We’re great friends. We got along really well and still do. We’ve had a great time on tour and we’ll always have Strictly in common to fall back on and reminisce over.” Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat ,
