AN EASTENDERS favourite has confirmed his character's exit as he takes a break from the soap. <\/p>\n
Following the bombshell news<\/span> that Brian Conley has abruptly quit EastEnders<\/span> and his role as Rocky Cotton, another Walford resident has confirmed they are departing Albert Square. <\/p>\n Bobby Brazier joined the show as Freddie Slater last year and has proved to be a huge hit with fans. <\/p>\n But due to his upcoming participation in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, the 20-year-old is taking a break from the EastEnders.<\/p>\n Bobby revealed: "I\u2019m taking a break. I\u2019ve filmed it all, and I\u2019m not telling you. I\u2019ll be back."<\/p>\n While Bobby's departure is only temporary, the same cannot be said for Brian, 62. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Sun exclusively revealed a row with the BBC soap\u2019s executives led to his exit.<\/p>\n Brian's frosty departure after two-and-a-half years is also understood to have seriously derailed the show\u2019s long-term plans, sparking fury.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Bobby has opened up about his plans for Strictly, and how he will dedicate a song to his mum – Big Brother star Jade Goody – who died of cervical cancer in 2009. <\/p>\n As he discussed song choices, he said: "There's a few \u2013 it depends on the mood. <\/p>\n <\/picture>CAR SHARE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>name game <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>BIG DAY <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>BIG GIG <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Saturday Love and also This Woman's Worth by Maxwell \u2013 that would be beautiful, I'd hope to make people cry doing that. <\/p>\n "Maybe I'll dedicate that one [to my mum].
