The Strictly winner has been ‘revealed’ by a former show star who has given an insight into who 'will lift the Glitter ball'.

Casualty actor Charles Venn, who starred on Strictly with Karen Clifton in 2018, has opened up on why EastEnders ’ fave Bobby Brazier, who is partnered with Diane Buswell, will go all the way.

Speaking about the 20-year-old, the son of the late Big Brother star Jade Goody and TV presenter Jeff Brazier, Charles, 50, said: “I’ve got a feeling it’s Bobby who will win. Bobby Brazier all the way. I know his dad Jeff, and he has raised him into a good man. There is something about Bobby and the fact that he is growing as a dancer. He has all of the tools and the public love that. You can see him improving going from strength to strength. I’m sure he will lift the Glitter ball.”

Charles praised Bobby for his work ethic too, and talked about his famous showbiz genes. He added: “You can see he looks like his mum Jade too. He has this glow. Handsome young man with the world ahead of him.”

Bobby brought fans to tears after his emotional Week 10 dance - a tribute to his late mother Jade. The model was just five years old when Jade passed away on Mother's Day 2009.

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left sobbing as Bobby Brazier performed last Saturday night. The actor and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell took on the Couple's Choice this week, and their song was Maxwell's This Woman's Work.

Last week, Bobby vowed to do the routine justice as he spoke of what the song meant to him, and revealed the story behind his latest dance.

He revealed there "would be tears" with Dianne also admitting she had struggled to look at Bobby during rehearsals, given how emotional it was for them. He appeared to reveal the story of the dance reflected his own journey, as he shared the lyrics of the chosen song "touched him at his core".

Bobby's mother Jade tragically died from cervical cancer aged 27. Last Saturday night, Bobby revealed he wanted to pay tribute to his "superhero" mum, saying her death "changed his life completely."

His father Jeff Brazier and brother Freddie, watching in the audience, also fought back tears over the moving routine.

Meanwhile Charles recalled his time dazzling on the Strictly dancefloor.

The top actor said at the GUBA awards show earlier this month: “I had the pleasure of doing Strictly five years ago. I was with Karen, so I was supporting Karen and Eddie this year too. He is a good friend. I was gutted when he left. What a partnership!"
