Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier has admitted to feeling "lost" following the conclusion of this year's series.

The star made it to the grand final with his professional partner Dianne Buswell, with the EastEnders star joining Layton Williams as a runner-up after Ellie Leach took home the Glitterball trophy.

Bobby recently appeared on Loose Women with his father, Jeff, to discuss his time on the dancefloor. The actor admitted that he's struggling to acclimate to everyday life following Strictly and misses his pro partner.

"I feel a bit lost. I miss Dianne," he said. "I'm eating ice cream for breakfast, I'm in no kind of physical place… I don't know what to do, what do I do? I fell in love over the course of the last couple of months with just telling the story.

"Whether it's the joyful story or the grief story, any kind of story, just the ability to express myself, with Dianne, through the means of a dance is so much fun. [I feel] immense joy and deep distress, but [I gained] memories that will last a lifetime."

He added: "I knew from the very beginning that I didn’t want to miss out on anything, I wanted to experience all of Strictly, and I feel like I did. I didn't miss out on any of the dances, as I say, I welcomed it all and I loved every second. Actually, that's a lie. I didn’t love every second."

Bobby and Dianne finished second on the judges' leaderboard during the final, with Ellie and her professional partner Vito Coppola coming out on top in the public vote. Ellie, who has appeared on Coronation Street, recently described her triumph as a "dream" in a heartfelt post.
