BOBBY BRAZIER'S VERY COMPLIMENTARY REACTION TO EMMERDALE RIVAL'S TOPLESS SNAP

Bobby Brazier has love for his soap rivals, with the EastEnders actor leaving a very complimentary message underneath Emmerdale's Lewis Cope's latest social media snap.

Lewis, who has been playing Nicky Milligan in the ITV soap since 2022, has left fans hot under the collar thanks to his new Instagram post - with EastEnders' star Bobby one of many to react in the comment section.

Initially introduced to Emmerdale viewers as the new Home Farm nanny, it was later revealed that Lewis' character Nicky is actually the son of Caleb Milligan (William Ash).

Caleb, Frank Tate's son, arrived in the village with a mission to exact revenge on Kim Tate (Claire King) and seize Home Farm from her. He coerced Nicky into starting a faux relationship with Gabby Thomas ( Rosie Bentham ) to have an inside man.

However, Kim foiled Caleb's scheme. Since then, while Caleb continues his mischief, Nicky has disanced himself from his father's criminal activities. He has begun dating Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana), and the pair are planning to leave the village for a fresh start.

In last night's instalment of Emmerdale [3rd July], Nicky and Suni discussed their travel plans. When Jai (Chris Bisson) showed up at Holdgate's front door, Nicky, fresh from the shower and clad only in a towel and slippers, answered. Nicky eventually ended up standing outside his house with no clothes on.

After these scenes were broadcasted on ITV, Lewis took to Instagram to share a snap of himself in character standing on the doorstep of Holdgate - sparking quite the reaction from his followers. Bobby, who portrays Freddie Slater in EastEnders, was quick to complient his soap peer, telling Lewis: "Genuinely a dream boat."

In May, Bobby opened up about life in the limelight and explained why he doesn't crave fame these days. The eldest son of the late Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier found it tough to cope with fame during his stint on Strictly Come Dancing last year, confessing he "wanted to get voted off".

In a joint interview with his dad, Bobby admitted: "I don't want to be famous. Maybe I did when I was younger, now I just want to act. I went on Strictly because dancing makes me happy. The more I learn about fame, the less I'm interested in it. A couple of weeks during Strictly, it got too much. I only felt peace when I came home. I wanted to get voted off."

His father reflected on Bobby's challenging teenage years and praised spirituality for its positive impact. "Bobby was a joy up until 15 or 16, then he became a nightmare," he revealed in the joint interview with Sunday Times Magazine. "The phone would ring and I'd think, 'Oh, God, what's he been up to now? ' As soon as he left school, I noticed a different Bobby. It coincided with lockdown, so I was able to watch him."
