Bobby Brazier inundated with messages after Jade Goody tribute
The 20-year-old actor and his professional partner, Dianne Buswell, danced to 'This Woman's Work' by Maxwell, as the song reminds him of losing his mother Jade Goody in 2009, and Bobby has received huge support from the public.
He told The Mail On Sunday newspaper: "There's been a lot (of letters). I haven't opened or read a lot of them but I've seen there's been a lot of people writing.
"We connected to a lot of people and communicated and translated something and that's what I wanted to do. I think that's what happens when you dance authentically and from your heart. I'm really glad that that happened.
"It was a privilege. I knew that my couple's choice had to be that. It was daunting before though because that song is perfect. So to touch perfection is daunting, but I'm really, really glad that I did.
"After every dance, everyone's always really supportive and complimentary, but especially after last week. I definitely welcomed all the love."
Speaking about Jade's death before the dance, Bobby said: "It changed my life completely, I'd love to spend a day with her just to see where I get my smile from."
Judges Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse gave him standing ovations, while he received a score of 37 points for the performance.
Jade was just 27 when she died of cervical cancer in March 2009.
