Bobby Brazier hasn't seen Strictly Come Dancing before
The 'EastEnders' actor is taking part in the new series of the BBC Latin and ballroom competition and admitted he doesn't really know what to expect because he hasn't watched any of the previous 20 seasons.
He admitted: "I’ve never watched the show, so I’ll be coming in fresh!"
But Bobby has sought advice from co-star James Bye, who was voted off in week six last year.
Asked if any previous contestants had given him advice, he said: "James Bye told me to eat a lot!"
Although he hasn't watched the show before, the 20-year-old actor was delighted to be asked to be involved because he loves dancing so much.
He said: "I was always going to say yes, whether it was this year, last year, the next year because I love dancing. That's it – whether it was on TV or not, the opportunity to dance with a professional dancer, and learn a different style of dancing every week is just my idea of a good time....
"I just love dancing so if I'm at a party, I dance, if I’m at home I dance...I’m always dancing."
But Bobby has done little to prepare since he signed up.
He admitted: "I've done absolutely nothing. These dancers are the fittest people I've ever met, they're like, robots – dancing machines! Maybe I'll start stretching a little bit. As far as dancing, my whole life has been a preparation – I'm not a trained dancer but I love to dance."
Bobby is hoping to impress the judges with some of his favourite moves.
He said: "Well, the caterpillar I don't pull it out very often. But it's the worm backwards.... so that’s a good’un. I just had to move my hips and my shoulders and you know, feel the rhythm."
'Strictly Come Dancing' starts on Saturday (16.09.23) at 6.35pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
