Strictly Come Dancing viewers have said 'get over it' as Bobby Brazier caused a bit of an unexpected row despite his tear-jerking tribute. There were emotional scenes in the ballroom on Saturday night (November 25) as the six remaining couples returned to Elstree after last weekend's Blackpool jaunt.
EastEnders star Bobby and his dance partner Dianne Buswell performed a couple’s choice dance to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell in a routine Bobby dedicated to his late mother Jade Goody, who died in 2009 aged 27 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
In a video clip before he performed, Brazier said: "It changed my life completely, I’d love to spend a day with her just to see where I get my smile from."

He said "loss makes you grow closer” before adding: "I’m the lucky one, I’m the one who gets to bring the boys up, I’m the one who gets to watch them on Strictly, it brings to my joy to my life."
