EastEnders sensation and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Bobby Brazier has sent shockwaves through Walford with revelations about his future career plans that could see him trading Albert Square for entirely new horizons.
The 20-year-old actor, who plays Freddie Slater in the iconic BBC soap, has surprisingly confessed that acting wasn't his first career choice and may not be his final destination either.

In a candid revelation, Brazier shared: "I never saw myself as an actor initially. I fell into this profession almost by accident, and while I've loved every moment, I'm keeping my options open for what comes next."
The young star, who joined EastEnders in 2022, has become a fan favourite with his portrayal of Freddie Slater, but admits his ambitions extend beyond the Queen Vic.
Strictly Success and Future Prospects
Brazier's profile skyrocketed after his spectacular run on Strictly Come Dancing 2023, where he finished as runner-up alongside professional dancer Dianne Buswell. The exposure has opened doors to opportunities he never imagined possible.
"Strictly changed everything for me," Brazier explained. "It showed me how many different paths exist in entertainment and beyond. I'm excited to explore what else I might be good at."
What's Next for the EastEnders Star?
While Brazier remains committed to his EastEnders role for now, insiders suggest the actor is already fielding offers from fashion brands and entertainment projects that could pull him away from Walford.
His surprising confession has left fans wondering if Freddie Slater's days in Albert Square might be numbered sooner than expected.
One thing's certain - whether he stays in acting or pursues new challenges, Bobby Brazier's career is one to watch closely in the coming months.
