The One Show's presenter Alex Jones was left red-faced after Bobby Brazier pointed out an awkward EastEnders blunder on Wednesday's show (May 1.) During the latest episode, actor Bobby, 20, was invited to discuss his return to Albert Square as Freddie Slater, alongside Big Mo. The characters' comeback has been confirmed for the upcoming weeks, following Freddie's departure months ago and over a year since Big Mo's last appearance in Walford.
As she introduced Bobby, host Alex, 47, said: "In a moment, we'll be joined by Bobby Brazier as his character, Freddie Mitchell, gets ready to return to Albert Square. But first, let's look at his story so far..." However, after the video montage played, Bobby was quick to correct Alex's mistake, clarifying that he plays Freddie Slater not Freddie Mitchell.
Bobby joked: "By the way, by the way, it's Freddie Slater not Freddie Mitchell! Freddie Mitchell doesn't exist, who is that?" Alex swiftly responded: "Well, now, that is an error, isn't it? A big apology Bobby! " to which Bobby quipped: "Come on now! ". After the initial hiccup, Bobby then teased his return to EastEnders, where he made light of learning his lines.
Co-host Jermaine Jenas chimed in about not learning his lines with Alex, saying: "We do that, all the time!" with Bobby pointing out: "Yeah, I mean, Freddie Mitchell! " with Alex replying: "You know what I mean!" reports the Mirror. Freddie's been off the grid since his altercation with Stacey Slater's stalker, Theo Hawthorne, which nearly landed him in jail last year.
Now, after a stint away and crashing at Mo's caravan, Freddie is set to make waves in Walford in the upcoming weeks. Mo bid farewell to Walford in 2021 for a romantic cruise with her on-again, off-again
