Afterwards, he left the venue Porchester Hall with his ex Tillie Amartey.
Tillie, 22, is well-known for playing Stacey Neville in school drama Waterloo Road.
The pair were snapped smiling and strolling together towards a waiting car.
Bobby and Tillie reportedly dated previously on and off for a year.
During his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023, the star was said to be "besotted" with his former lover.
At the time, a source close to the actor said he was hopeful he could rekindle his romance with Tillie.
They told The Mirror: 'Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren't compatible.
"There was no big row and, as they have always been on/off, Bobby hasn't given up.
"He is doing all the running at the moment.
"Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio."
Huge EastEnders star to QUIT soap after four years 'to look for other opportunities'
Last month, it was announced Bobby is leaving his role on EastEnders after four years.
He joined the BBC soap in 2022, playing returning character Freddie Slater.
Bobby scooped a National Television Award last year for rising star in the role.
An EastEnders spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.'
A telly insider revealed: 'Bosses had a meeting with Bobby only recently as they had a plan in mind for a storyline, and it just so happened that Bobby was also thinking that now was the right time to look for other opportunities outside the show.
Inside Bobby Brazier's burgeoning TV career
Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV.
As the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age.
Bobby first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling.
The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn't long before he had his eyes on a TV career.
He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in EastEnders.
The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the National Television Award in the 'Rising Star' category.
His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond.
It wasn't long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing.
He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up.
Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running BBC One soap.
'The timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet.
'The character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for EastEnders to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.'
Clair Norris (Bernadette Taylor) and Matthew James Morrison (Felix Baker) recently waved goodbye to Walford.
In addition, Molly Rainford, who has played Anna Knight since 2023, is also set to depart.

TV fans all say the same thing as the soaps are taken off air
It's that time of the year again where our favourite soap operas are shunted aside for coverage of the footy or Wimbledon. As a result of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 coverage on ITV, Emmerdale won't return until Tuesday, July 8. Just as we get back into the swing of things, it's pulled again the following day. It's even worse news if you're a Coronation Street fan, as our next trip to the cobbles isn't scheduled until Thursday, July 10, at the later time of 9pm. Down South it's the same issue, with EastEnders not hitting our screens again until Wednesday, July 9. This week, the BBC soap doubled up episodes on BBC Two, meaning there's a whole eight days before we can get our next slice of Walford drama. Well, it turns out that Metro readers are not impressed. In fact, at the time of writing, a whopping 7.4k of you shared your opinion on our Facebook page last night, when we asked: 'Should soaps be moved for sport?' 802 soap fans even dealt an angry reaction. Brutal. Taking to the comments section, Russ Southgate fumed: 'I hate the summer. Tedious football, Olympics drivel, Wimbledon ping pong and all the other boring sport. Much rather have Emmerdale any day!' 'Put all sport on a channel of its own,' ordered Suzanne Dawson. Nadine Rivers reckoned things were starting to get a little samey. 'Why is the same game of tennis on bbc1 and bbc2?' they questioned. A truly mortified Ann Evans said: 'NOOOO leave our soaps alone !!!' Nigel Simmonds fancied himself as a channel controller, suggesting a nifty solution to the problem: 'Emmerdale & Corrie could easily be put on ITV2/3 or 4 instead.. and Eastenders could be on BBC3.' Carole Harris didn't think that our favourite genre should be the one to move: 'They should have a Sports channel then we can watch our soaps.' It goes without saying that both the soaps and sports coverage are culturally significant to the UK. But the fans remain divided. It seems us Brits aren't the only ones to be facing an issue with the two, as investment in Australian television production and sports was addressed by former Neighbours star Elaine Smith when she spoke to us this week. 'We're going through a difficult time at the moment,' she said. 'I think there's a huge amount the Australian government could be doing for the arts because it's not well supported in this country.

More Trending She added: 'There's so much more that can be done and it's why I became quite passionate about teaching drama. 'We have to invest in the kids and get them engaged in the same way we do with sports. Whether that be painting, music, dance, design or theatre.

Paddy enlisted help from Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) but it did, as Mandy predicted, end terribly. Bear reacted with violence when he realised what Paddy and Marlon were up to, and pinned his son against a wall outside.

EastEnders legend will miss co-star's ‘bright and positive energy' as she exits
EastEnders star Diane Parish, known for her role as Denise Fox, has paid tribute to her co-star Clair Norris following her character Bernie Taylor's departure from the soap. Norris's final episode aired this week, with her character Bernie Taylor leaving Albert Square for a fresh start in Spain alongside her step-cousin Felix Baker(Matthew James Morrison), using money stolen from the Panesars. Over the past year, Bernie has been at odds with Diane Parish's character, Denise Fox, largely due to Keanu's death and Denise's role in the storyline involving 'The Six.' Despite the on-screen tension, Diane took to social media to share a warm message after a video of Clair's last day on set was posted. She praised Norris as 'a wonderful talent,' going on to say that the actress has 'Blown me away with her comedic and dramatic performances. Gonna miss her bright and positive energy. Go well beautiful girl.' Clair also shared her own tribute to her on-screen partner Matthew James Morrison, who plays Felix Baker. In an Instagram post, she wrote: 'Bernie &👸🏼B… @matthew_james_morrison I truly believe our paths crossed for a reason. I couldn't have been more thankful to have you by my side on our last block. What a rollercoaster it was but hand in hand we did it!!!' Matthew left a heartfelt comment under the post writing: 'I love you Clair Hayley Norris,' Diane added her own comment under Clair's post, calling her and Matthew 'two of the most genuinely beautiful people within and without.' More Trending Clair's exit was first confirmed back in May, when a BBC spokesperson wished her well and thanked her for her time on the show. Reflecting on her departure in an interview with The Sun, Clair said: 'Obviously, it's upsetting, but also I'd been there for eight years, which is a long time to play a character, and I have absolutely loved being in the show.' She went on to tell the publication: 'They gave me the opportunity to learn on the job, and now I can take that experience into future roles. Of course, it's sad, but with the Taylors gone, it felt like the right time. I'm very excited about what's to come.'
