Strictly Come Dancing fans were left 'sobbing' after Bobby Brazier dedicated his dance this week to his late mum Jade Goody, who died of cancer when he was a child.

The Eastenders star and his professional partner Dianne Buswell ensured there wasn't a dry eye in the house as they took to the dance floor to perform a contemporary routine to Bobby's favourite song 'This Woman's Work'.

But viewers were emotional before the routine even started as they heard 20-year-old Bobby talk about his memories of his mum, who rose to fame after an appearance on Big Brother, during the couple's opening VT.

Opening up about the death of his mum, Bobby said: "She passed away when I was just four, it changed my life completely." He added: "I'd love to spend a day with her - just to see where I get my smile from." Speaking about his memories of her, he said: "My earliest childhood memory...
