Bobby Brazier was forced to deny rumours of a blossoming romance with his Strictly Come Dancing partner Dianne Buswell, but last week he set tongues wagging again when he was spotted holding hands with winner of the show, Ellie Leach.
Coronation Street star Ellie, 22, and EastEnders favourite Bobby, 20, were reportedly seen looking cosy together on the Strictly tour bus as the BBC dance show continues its live shows.
An insider says, “Bobby and Ellie are the talk of the tour… They’ve been having their meals together and flirting increasingly openly. The chat on tour is they may have enjoyed a cheeky snog, and will go public with their romance soon.”
They are said to have first begun flirting following a hotel bash attended by the Strictly Live cast in Birmingham earlier this month. They were also spotted enjoying a low-key Nando’s meal and arrived at a tour hotel together in Sheffield last week.
Ellie also posted a sweet snap of them on her Instagram page, showing the actress putting her arm around Bobby, who is seen smiling. Bobby split from Waterloo Road actress Tillie Amartey in March 2022, before going on to date model Liberty Love for 18 months before their split in September.
In November, he was rumoured to be in a secret relationship with fashion consultant Boadecia Evans, who is said to have cheered him on during his performance at Blackpool. Meanwhile, Ellie split from her boyfriend of five years, dancer and influencer Reagan Pettman, early last year, and has been linked to her dance partner Vito Coppola, although they have not confirmed romance rumours.
