Bobby Brazier's devotion to religion and spiritual lifestyle ahead of Strictly

Bobby Brazier has been a national treasure ever since the death of his beloved mum Jade Goody back in 2009. The Big Brother legend sadly passed away at the age of 27, leaving Bobby and his younger brother Freddie behind.

The EastEnders actor, 20, who is set to make his debut on Strictly Come Dancing next month, was raised by his proud dad Jeff, 44, and has always been supported by fans of Jade, who died following a diagnosis with cervical cancer when Bobby was just five-years-old.

Despite Bobby only making his EastEnders debut last year, throughout his teens and early adulthood the soap star has always had a huge following on his social media platforms and has now amassed over a staggering 185,000 followers on Instagram. Bobby's TikTok's are based around his spirituality, religion, and positive outlook on life go viral on a regular basis.

In recent years, Bobby has proved he's not just a pretty face and rather an incredible talent. The former model and fresh soap star appears wise beyond his years, and his magnetic positivity despite the turmoil early on in his life is something to behold. Bobby, who plays Freddie Slater on the BBC One soap, often shares glimpses into his home and personal life on his social media accounts – a move which has made his adoring admirers even more impressed and obsessed by him.

While his Instagram account highlights his career achievements including his many renowned modelling runways, photoshoots, and high fashion editorials, it's Bobby's TikTok which has captured the hearts of his fans as he shows his true character and delves deeper into his spiritual beliefs and religion, shedding positivity and light in each clip he posts with fans.

Bobby recently opened up about his devotion to the Hare Krishna movement – a branch of Hinduism, formally known as Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Bobby, who wasn't raised in this religion, has proved he is a big believer in meditation, prayer, and chakras as he often demonstrates how he eases himself into a relaxed and meditated state on TikTok.

The actor also takes his followers along with him as he records himself before and after heading to the Temple to meditate, pray and 'feel at one with God'. In a recent video, which Bobby shared to his Instagram stories, he explained his beliefs as he said: “I had to make a video because I had an experience earlier. I was in the temple and when I went in and when I went out the same person was standing outside. And they said, ‘Wow, you look so much happier now you’ve come out from when you went in.’ And it was so true.

“But it’s just made me start thinking. If you’ve been following me for a while or if you’ve known me for a while, you’ll know that I’ve been searching through many different phases for the same thing that we’re all searching for, that we’re all hankering after: bliss and love and knowledge and peace and contentment.

“And the place in which I found what I’m looking for is in my relationship with God. And I don’t want to give the impression that I’m some great devotee or some great man of God who is devoted in every aspect of his life,” Bobby explained. “Because I am a fool and a sinner, but I’m trying my best not to be. I fall under the spells of illusion and I fall into sin a lot. But I’m intelligent enough to recognise what makes me feel truly happy and what actually ends up making me feel miserable disguised as happy.

“I’ve had the blessing of meeting some incredible devotees who have really taken me under the wing and been really merciful upon me. And they are just the most beautiful, happy, content, smart, intelligent people. What I feel like I’m saying is that I know where happiness is and I know where happiness is not,” the soap star added.

The Freddie Slater actor continued to explain his beliefs to his followers as he said: ”And my relationship with God is absolutely everything that I’m looking for and always have been looking for and always will be looking for. That’s where it lies and nowhere else.

”The peace that God gives us when our focus is on him is unexplainable. His peace makes you stop worrying about everything else that is troubling you.”

Despite the fact Bobby has already amassed a huge loyal following and fanbase, it's set to drastically increase next month when the talented star will appear on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing next month alongside the likes of Nigel Harman, Adam Thomas and Love Island star, Zara McDermott.
