The Harlow influencer slipped into the skin of Little Mo‘s son, Freddie Slater, as the lad searches for answers about his father, whom he believes is Billy Mitchell.

Little does he know that his mother was actually raped by Graham Foster…

19-year-old Bobby showed off his acting chops for the very first time during Tuesday’s instalment of the London-based program.

Bobby spoke about his new venture to Good Morning Britain showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold this morning for his first TV interview, while on location outside the iconic Walford East tube station.

“This is very different for me I’ve never acted before”, he admitted.

“There were nerves but everyone made it comfortable for me.”

Speaking of what his father Jeff Brazier thought of his acting, Bobby quipped: “he’s happy that I’m working consistently and paying rent!”

TV personality Jeff posted an emotional tribute to his oldest son (Bobby also has a brother named Freddie) for his EastEnders debut, proving Bobby’s point.

He then told Richard he believes his mother, Jade Goody, would be proud of his stint on screens.

“She’d be proud, why wouldn’t she be, anyone who loves me they’re all proud and they’re supportive, I know she’d be the same.”

The 2002 Big Brother star died in 2009 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer, when her son was only five years old.

And although his role in EastEnders is his first chance at acting, Bobby admitted he found his mark easily in Albert Square, with a sweet reference to his grandmother.

“You don’t know my nan, it’s not too different, it feels like home”, he said, before adding: “I feel like a Slater.”

While Richard Arnold couldn’t help but notice Bobby was the spit of his mother he also spotted the budding actor’s nan resembled another legendary character in EastEnders.

“Just to say he showed me his mobile phone after and there is a touch of Big Mo in his nan!”, the correspondent claimed.

Meanwhile, on social media, viewers have gushed over Bobby’s resemblance with his mother.

“He’s the spit of his beautiful mum”, one penned while another echoed: “he looks so much like his mum.”

Another jumped in: “Lovely young man, his dad has done well. His mum would be proud.”

A fourth viewer commented: “Looks like his mother, sounds like his dad.”
