FRESH START Bobby Brazier reveals he’s quitting the UK after EastEnders exit and turning to religion

BOBBY Brazier has revealed he has decided to quit the UK after his EastEnders exit.

The former soap star, who is celebrating his 23rd birthday today, left the BBC One soap last year after playing Freddie Slater for three years after turning to religion.

Over the last year, Bobby, whose parents are TV presenter Jeff Brazier, 46, and the late Big Brother legend Jade Goody, has ditched the limelight.

Now, the actor has revealed he is leaving Britain and heading across the pond.

In a video shared on Instagram, he is seen being stopped in the street by a model casting agent, who asks him if he is “up for a test shoot”.

To which Bobby replied: “You know I’m actually moving to New York.

 

 

“Well I say New York, in New Jersey.”

Bobby then revealed that he would be in the US in July, but does not reveal the reason behind his move.

The star, whose beloved mum Jade died from cervical cancer in 2009 when he was just three-ears-od, has been on a spiritual path since leaving EastEnders in December and spent much of his time travelling.

Bobby shared his trip to India where he danced and sang with other Hare Krishna followers.

 

On one Instagram reel, he said: “It doesn’t get better than this.

“I have no real devotion but by the mercy of the holy name and those great souls who do, I get to experience a little taste of their love of God and pray that this impression won’t leave me.

“Man it’s so amazing.”

Hare Krishna is a branch of Hinduism which emphasises devotion to Krishna – a supreme deity.

Believers can show their devotion through traditional prayer worship as well as practices like chanting his name and dancing in celebration of his power.

While in the process of arranging his move across the world, Bobby has become a regular at the Hare Krishna temple in Soho.

A volunteer at the temple told the MailOnline last year: “He’s here every Saturday without fail.

“He joins our kitchen session, learns the prayers – this isn’t a gimmick.”

A family friend added: “Bobby had a difficult life. His mum dying left a mark on him, as it would.

“Hare Krishna is somewhere he seeks solace. It might seem strange, but for him, it works.”
