Strictly Come Dancing's Bobby Brazier shares why he was 'deflated' after dance

Strictly Come Dancing's Bobby Brazier has revealed the reason why he appeared "deflated" on Saturday's show during an interview on Wednesday's It Takes Two.

During Saturday's show, the EastEnders star, 20, left viewers concerned as he appeared downcast with many commenting "something's not right" as he took to the dance floor with pro Dianne Buswell sporting a red suit, tangoing to David Bowie's Fashion. However, after a mixed reception from the judges in which Motsi Mabuse said the couple had "lost the entertainment factor", fans were concerned.

When asked by host Claudia Winkleman how he was feeling after the performance, Bobby admitted: "It's been emotional. So, so emotional. All week. But closing the show is a great privilege." Dianne, 34, added: "It was really difficult. I pushed you [Bobby] musically. That song is not easy to hear and you worked so hard to be able to hear the music." She added: "But he's just been a massive rock this week so thank you," before embracing her celebrity dance partner while fighting back tears.

On Wednesday's Strictly spin-off show, It Takes Two, host Janette Manrara asked Bobby: "You looked a little bit deflated though, after you got the judge's comments, why is that? What was going through your head?"

To which Bobby agreed, adding: "Yeah, I was proper [deflated]. I think it had less to do with the judges' comments. I was actually quite happy with the judges' comments. Strictly is a journey and I think I was just very tired and glad to have done the Tango and put that all behind me."

Bobby's pro partner, Dianne, added that they were "buzzing" with the judges' feedback, where they scored an impressive 30 points. The duo shared their excitement for their new dance on Saturday, where they will perform a Viennese Waltz to Golden Hour by JVKE.

The remaining twelve couples will take to the dance floor next week when Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 21 October at 6.35pm, with the results show on Sunday 22 October at 7:15pm on BBC One.
