'Many an occasion I've asked, "What would you do?" because it's a tough responsibility having all the weight of it on your shoulders. She is always part of the conversation.
'Bobby has so much of her in him and we see that shine through in every performance. Of course for those she's absolutely with us, she's there.'
Bobby, who is competing with Strictly's Dianne Buswell on the BBC show, has won the nations hearts with his touching tributes to his mother.
It comes after Bobby danced with his grandmother Jackiey Budden at a Jade Goody charity ball just last year.
Video obtained exclusively by MailOnline shows Bobby on the dance floor with Jade's mother Jackiey, 66, at the event in July 2022.
Jackiey recently told of the pride she feels for her grandson as he appears on Strictly Come Dancing - while also hitting out again at his father Jeff.
She told MailOnline she is a 'very proud nan' and it's 'wonderful' to see Bobby on the show, before commenting on her ongoing feud with his father Jeff, saying he has been a 'c**k for f****** nine years'.
In the video a smart Bobby looked in great spirits as he danced around arm in arm with Jackiey who wore a black velvet jumpsuit.

The event was hosted by the late Jade's husband Jack Tweed who managed to raise £30,000 for charity.
The charity ball was held at Essex country house hotel Down Hall and raised money and awareness for The Trust for Complementary Cancer Rehabilitation.
Jade's sons Bobby and Freddy were in attendance and it was hosted by former TOWIE star Mark Wright.
The evening also featured live performances from TOWIE's James Argent.
Jackiey is the maternal grandmother of Bobby and lives in Bermondsey where she raised her Big Brother star daughter.
Jade shot to fame on the third series of the hit show but tragically died from cancer aged just 27.
She was the first reality star to become a millionaire and amassed a £3million business empire, taking in books, perfume and exercise videos.
While Jackiey remains on good terms with grandsons Bobby and his younger brother Freddie, she is embroiled in a bitter feud with their father Jeff.

In September, she secretly got tickets to the National Television Awards to watch Bobby get a Rising Star gong for playing Freddie Slater in EastEnders.
There she was recorded branding Brazier a 'c***'.
Jackiey addressed the row with Jeff when speaking to MailOnline, she said: 'When I came out for the NTA Awards, I'm loud and it's the drink and someone went 'oh I bet you're really proud' and 'how do you get on with Jeff Brazier' and I said 'he's a c**k'.
'Next minute I'm on the internet and all over the papers. As I came out of the O2, someone overheard me say it, so they sold the story.'
When asked if she said it and why, Jackiey fumed: 'Of course I said it. I haven't got a problem with (calling him that).
'He's been a c**k for f****** nine years.
'Bobby doesn't need that stress on his head. He's my grandson.'
In 2021, Bobby confirmed in an Instagram video that he was back in contact with his nan after losing touch.
He said: 'I didn't see her for ages - for way too long - but I went to see her twice recently. And honestly if there's one woman you shouldn't underestimate it's my nan. Honestly, she's like a wizard! It's nuts.'
