Strictly star Bobby Brazier's lavish Mauritius getaway with dad Jeff and stepmum
Bobby Brazier has kicked off 2024 on a stunning getaway with his family.
The EastEnders star, 20, joined his dad Jeff, brother Freddie and stepmum Kate Dwyer as they jetted off to Mauritius for some winter sun. Jeff, who welcomed his sons with the late Jade Goody, has been sharing updates from their luxury holiday at Sugar Beach Mauritius - a five-star resort.
He admitted the family "needed to rest, relax and make some memories" after a "memorable year". His eldest son Bobby competed on the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, where he made it all the way to the final with professional dancer Diane Buswell. The family have been relaxing by swimming with dolphins, reading, playing gold and making new friends.
Jeff added they also ate "far too much incredible food". Alongside the family snaps, he said: "At the end of a memorable year full of a little bit of everything we needed to rest, relax and make some memories. We're so lucky to have had the opportunity to sit in the sun and to do as much or as little as we please on our special family adventure.
"We swam with dolphins, read a few books, played golf, met new friends, ate far too much incredible food & most importantly switched off. I hope you guys have had the opportunity to do the same. It's a beautiful location @your_sunlife thank you. @katebrazierpr @bobbybrazier Fred & myself have had the reset we needed and so much more."

Jeff told his followers: "The 'Strictly Sugar' Samba lesson taken by an amazing teacher has got @katebrazierpr & I in the mood for lessons in the new year! Obviously @bobbybrazier was in his element and I didn't want to stand too close to those hips but I was surprised by how much fun it was and how many people took part! Looks like Kate & I have got a new hobby to enjoy together!"
They enjoyed gorgeous sunsets while on their holiday and took a dip in the sea as they watched the sky turn red. The doting dad shared: "Collecting sunsets. One of life’s greatest privileges and something I want to do a million times with @katebrazierpr @bobbybrazier & Fred who seems to be in the habit of bundling me under the water at every opportunity!"
Bobby and Freddie even got all dressed up for evening drinks in matching outfits to their dad. Jeff looked smart in white trousers, black t-shirt and an open black shirt, while Freddie donned a very similar pair of trousers and Bobby matched his dad's top.
Speaking to The Mirror and other press, when asked about his family support during Strictly, Bobby said: "I realised the other day - which I'm really grateful to have re-remembered - is that the reason that doing stuff like this is so so fun and so cool is because it's not just me who experiences it, but it's my team too. It's my friends and family and my nearest and dearest that all experience it to the same level.
"That's the best thing in the world. I love it and I love that so much to be able to bring my best friends or my friends to cool things that I'm able to do. That's what makes it fun because otherwise - I don't really know."
