BBC EastEnders star breaks silence after leaving soap
It was confirmed last month by BBC bosses that Bobby Brazier will be leaving the show. The actor, who is the son of late reality star Jade Goody and former footballer Jeff Brazier, has played Freddie Slater since 2022. Now, he has opened up on the leaving, and spoken on what may come next. A post shared by BOBBY JACK BRAZIER (@bobbybrazier) Bobby's character Freddie was conceived on the show in late 2003, to mother Little Mo Mitchell. In May 2006, Freddie was admitted to hospital with bleeding on the brain, and the character left Walford on May 26, 2006, with his mother, in an effort to start a new life in Devon. Freddie returned in November 2022, which was Brazier's welcome to the BBC soap in what was his acting debut. His portrayal as Freddie won him the Rising Star at the 28th National Television Awards. However, despite his departure being revealed previously, he is not due to leave the show until later this year. A TV insider told The Sun that EastEnders bosses met with Bobby at a time when he was already thinking about making his exit. They added: '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.' Speaking to OK Magazine, the young actor has opened up on what life may be like after his exit on the BBC soap. He said: "I don't know, I guess that's how it really goes and how it works in this industry. You never really know what's next until you go in for it. "But yeah, I'd like to play a variety of different roles so I can work out what I like, what I'm good at, what I'm not good at and what I need to work on. 'I'd like to learn and study and also relax a little bit." Team #EastEnders has won Soap of the Year at the 2025 @TRICawards .

'I'm never going to say goodbye to her because, after 32 years, Sonia is ingrained in me. So, while I'm saying goodbye on screen, for now, Sonia is always there, knocking about!'

Kendrick Lamar and SZA at Hampden Park: Here are 40 amazing pictures of the duo's stunning Glasgow concert
Superstars Kendrick Lamar and SZA joined forces to perform a spectacular gig at Glasgow's Hampden Park last night (Tuesday, July 8). The pair took turns to take to the stage, teaming up at points to perform a string of duets. It was part of their huge Grand National world tour, which has been critically acclaimed since it debuted in the USA earlier this year. Lamar is widely considered to be the most important rapper of his generation, becoming the first non classical or jazz musician to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Music. He's sold nearly 20 million albums and has been showered with awards, including including 22 Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Brit Award, four American Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, 11 MTV Video Music Awards and a record 37 BET Hip Hop Awards. SZA, who collaborated with Lamar on top-ten single All The Stars, has only released two albums in her career so far, but has still won five Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, an American Music Award, a Guild of Music Supervisors Award, and two Billboard Women in Music awards, as well as being nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. She also headlined Glastonbury last year. And the pair certainly showed why they have become known for their incendiary live performances at Scotland's National Stadium - playing no fewer than 52 tracks. Here are 40 pictures of them in action.
