Jade's mother Jackiey Budden believes her late daughter - who died in 2009 after a battle with cancer - would have been filled with pride at seeing her son perform on Saturday's (16.12.23) final of the BBC One dance show.

She told The Sun: "She would have been so proud of him, as am I, and a lot of other people are too.

"He always wears his mum’s bracelet, so she is always with him and he knows she’s always looking down on him."

Jackiey did not attend the final due to a feud with Bobby's father Jeff Brazier but is looking forward to catching up with Bobby and his brother Freddie.

She said: "I’ve had a tough few years - like everyone has, they’ve really knocked me for six.

“I still get the odd health set-back which I’ll battle through but I’m still well enough to see the boys.

"I can’t wait to see him and give him a huge hug."

'EastEnders' actor Bobby and West End star Layton Williams were beaten in the final by 'Coronation Street' actress Ellie Leach, 22, who is 'Strictly's youngest ever winner.

She said: "I actually genuinely cannot believe this."

She told her emotional professional partner Vito Coppola: "For once you're crying more than me, this is for you."

He responded: "I mean this is like the cherry on the cake, all the bruises and blisters, you have been so amazing, you are 'Strictly'. You represent 'Strictly'. You are the diamond, you are shining."
