Strictly’s Bobby Brazier was spotted in the area on Tuesday as he received some dance tips from famous choreographer Jason Gilikson ahead of the much-anticipated semi-final.

It comes before Bobby’s grandmother was recently banned from appearing in the Strictly audience due to a bitter family dispute.

Poignantly, it meant he missed Bobby’s emotional tribute to his late mother (and only daughter), Jade Goody, two weeks ago.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, family friends claimed that Jackiey and Jeff, who cared for Bobby since Jade’s death in 2009, had a falling out a few years ago and have been unable to make amends since.
Sources have also claimed the 66-year-old is now desperate to make amends so she can see her grandson in next week’s Strictly final if he makes it past the semi-final.
