The Big Brother star sadly died of cervical cancer when Bobby was only five.

After the dance, which was performed to This Woman’s Work by Maxwell, there was not a dry eye in the studio.

Even pro dancer Dianne had tears streaming down her face as the duo gave statements about their final performance.

Judge Shirley Ballas pointed out that Bobby's dad, Jeff Brazier, had also been moved to tears.

She continued: "Loss is such a personal thing, and I know you were a young boy when that happened, but it's forever here in your heart.

"Everything you do I feel is just danced from the right place."

Viewers flocked to X to share how emotional they were after the moving scenes.

One person wrote: "Bobby’s final dance. I think many people were emotional because Jade not only touched the heart if his family, but many of us,& her very public cancer diagnosis saved so many women that are alive today because of his mum. Really hard to see Amy crying after his dance."

Another added: "Whew, crying at Bobby's dance. Gosh the emotion in that routine."

A third agreed: "I cant stop crying over Bobby, plus the judges' comments."

Someone else gushed: "Oh Bobby! Not a dry eye in the ballroom. That song, dance, routine, emotion, everything perfect. What a lovely personal moment. Gah! And Amy crying in the background…"
