Bobby Brazier splits up with girlfriend Liberty Love

Ahead of his Strictly Come Dancing debut over the weekend, Bobby - who is the son of TV presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Big Brother star Jade Goody - broke up with model girlfriend Liberty Love, according to The Daily Mail. 

The pair were said to have been dating for more than 18 months. 

A source, speaking to The Daily Mail, said: 'She and Bobby had been on and off but now it seems that it's over for good.'

In July 2022, Bobby and Liberty unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted all traces of each other from their social media.

However, they rekindled their spark and began dating again, until the EastEnders actor "called it quits" ahead of his Strictly debut, reports The Daily Mail. 

It now means Bobby cannot fall victim to the alleged 'Strictly Come Dancing curse' - which is where romance blossoms between contestants and professional dancers already in relationships.

Bobby is one of the latest arrivals to Albert Square and won the Rising Star award at the National Television Awards (NTAs) recently.
