Bobby Brazier says he only has eyes for Dianne Buswell.
Bobby Brazier: 'My eyes are focused on Dianne'
Although the 20-year-old 'Strictly Come Dancing' star has been inundated with messages from female admirers, he insisted he is concentrating on the competition and his professional partner Dianne.
He told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz: "I’ll pay attention to a few of them! But my eyes are focused on my Juliet, Dianne.
“She is unbelievable and performing every Saturday with her is so much fun.
“I appreciate all the compliments and people thinking I’m a star — I’m in a fortunate position.
"With social media, people seem to be enjoying the partnership and dances Dianne and I are doing.”
Dianne, 34 - who has been dating Joe Sugg, 32 since 2018 - said Bobby has been swamped with saucy messages from fans.
She said: "Bobby has so many people sliding into his DMs now. I think we can bring out a bit more of ‘angel Bobby’. He’s definitely not an angel!”
Meanwhile, although Bobby is the youngest contestant, he admitted Dianne's gruelling workouts have left him feeling like "an old man".
He said: "I woke up this morning and it took me 45 minutes to move and I got up and I swung my legs over and I was like, ‘Wow, old people. I respect you so much — how do you do this?’
“It’s just when I go to sit down I just want to stay down. I don’t think my body is that bad once it’s up and when it’s warm.
“I’ve got a big old bruise on my bum still. I fell over and hit my butt, bone first. That was painful.
“I need some tips and stuff because I feel like an old man.
“Dianne actually said to me in the week that I am moving like an old man.”
