Strictly finalist Bobby Brazier has thrown his support behind Tillie Amartey as he sent his ex-girlfriend exclusive advice prior to the show’s Christmas Day special.
The duo was last spotted together in August 2021, with one source claiming the pair ended their relationship in March 2022. Throughout the competition, the EastEnders star is rumoured to have been “constantly messaging” Tillie in a new interview with The Mirror.
According to the publication, the 20-year-old hunk has shared a “cute” message with the Waterloo Road star, also 20, ahead of her performance. Speaking to the outlet, she confessed: “In his cute little Essex accent, he just said, ‘Smash it, Til… you’ll do amazing, babe’.

Loyal fans of the BBC show will remember Bobby and his partner Dianne Buswell, 34, placed as runners up in the live final earlier this month. The pair missed out on the glitterball trophy to Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola.
Meanwhile, Tillie performed with professional dance partner Neil Jones as they wowed viewers with their impressive dance moves. They competed against fellow celebrities Danny Cipriani, Keisha Buchanan, Dan Snow, Sally Nugent and Jamie Borthwick on the dancefloor.
In the lead up to the competition, Tillie confessed that Neil would have his work cut out with her in the training room. She admitted: “I haven’t got any dance experience… Neil’s the most patient man I’ve ever met!

“When you take on Strictly, it’s a tsunami of sparkle. You can’t swim against it, you’ve got to ride the wave.” Loyal fans of the BBC drama Waterloo Road will know Tillie plays Stacey ‘Stace’ Neville in the show and is the third star from the school-based drama to enter the Strictly line-up.
This year saw Adam Thomas juggle filming for the famous drama while rehearsing for Strictly at night, and Kym Marsh also took part in the show the year before. Tillie revealed the Waterloo Road set even had a purpose-built rehearsal studio waiting for its budding ballroom stars.
Meanwhile, Bobby was most recently linked with fashion stylist Sienna Penman, with the pair pictured snuggled up together just one day after the Strictly final. The pair enjoyed a celebratory restaurant dinner, where they were seen laughing and hugging each other.

Sources later confirmed to MailOnline that the pair have been close friends since they met at school. The source told the publication: “Bobby and Sienna have been close friends for many years, since school in fact.
“They confide in each other about most things and had a lot to talk about after Bobby’s time on Strictly. Clearly they get along very well but as yet there’s nothing romantic between them and Sienna has a boyfriend who she’s in a long-term relationship with.”
