EastEnders spoilers follow.
Jeff Brazier has posted a sweet tribute to his son Bobby as he made his EastEnders debut last night (September 6).
The footballer-turned-TV personality welcomed Bobby with the late Big Brother legend Jade Goody in 2003, and now the youngster is making a name for himself as the character Freddie Slater in the BBC One soap.
Sharing a collection of Bobby's photoshoots to Instagram, Jeff wrote: "So proud. A wonderful moment for the whole family and anyone that has had this kids back through it all. Thank you for supporting my children."

In his debut episode, Freddie rocked up to Albert Square, watching Billy Mitchell from afar before trying to steal some food from the market and ride the tube without paying.

After being caught by the guards, he explained that he was homeless and was saved from punishment when Bobby Beale turned up and gave him £20.
He later turned up at the Queen Vic, where Billy recognised him and had a go for him for being a thief... which is when he revealed that he was Little Mo's son and called Billy his dad.

Of course, Billy isn't actually the youngster's father, as Freddie was conceived in a pretty traumatic circumstance. That became the focus of tonight's episode, as Billy and Honey argued over whether he should be told the truth and who should do it.
The argument is going to cause Freddie to go missing in upcoming episodes.
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
