NTAs: Bobby Brazier makes Dad cry with acceptance speech
EastEnders newcomer Bobby Brazier has picked up an award at tonight’s NTAs.
The 20-year-old took to the stage and paid tribute to his dad, saying: “It has little to do with me and everything to do with my dad.”
Bobby looked nervous as he continued: “For over the course of the last 20 years, I’ve consistently heard him say, ‘Because I can’.”
He went on to say: “And him just saying that…because I can,” before lifting the award and beaming with pride.
The camera panned to his father Jeff Brazier, 44, who was visibly emotional as he watched his son scoop the award for Rising Star.

Bobby joined the cast of EastEnders earlier this year to play Freddie Slater.
Whilst on stage Bobby also thanked his EastEnders co-stars.
He praised them for being supportive, lovely and merciful, claiming that it was everything that he needed.
He also joked that his fellow cast are so good that he doesn’t need to ask questions – he can just observe and he automatically gets better.
After he received his award, Bobby told Express.co.uk how he was going to celebrate his win saying: “I’ll have a dance tonight, if my dad wants to… I think I’m going to cry when I see him.”
He was also asked what he was going to do with his gong and thoughtfully responded: “I just want to go and give it to my dad, or Lacey Turner.”
Bobby is also set to appear as a contestant on the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2023
