Bobby, who was a runner up on Strictly Come Dancing last year partnered with Aussie pro Dianne Buswell, 35, enjoyed a meal with pals at Balans restaurant and removed the book out of a Waterstones shopping bag he was carrying.

It comes after the model agreed to stay on EastEnders after receiving a wave of work offers since his Strictly stint.

Bobby, the son of TV presenter Jeff Brazier and the late reality star Jade Goody, said in January: “The next couple of years is about getting experience, so maybe some theatre, film and learning to sing.”

In September 2023, Bobby won the Rising Star gong at the National Television Awards for his role in EastEnders.

He has also been filming upcoming Paramount+ show, Curfew.

Bobby is now dating his EastEnders co-star Jazzy Phoenix.

Earlier this year he had been in a relationship with Strictly rival Ellie Leach.
