Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier enjoyed a cosy night out together as rumours of a relationship between the Strictly Come Dancing pair gather pace.
The duo have been snapped together on several occasions recently as they travelled the country as part of the BBC show’s live tour. December saw Ellie and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola lift the Glitterball Trophy, with Bobby and Dianne Buswell finishing third in an intense final that also starred Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin.
Throughout the series Ellie and Vito were romantically linked after a number of steamy performances. Viewers also speculated over the chemistry between Bobby and Dianne – particularly after the EastEnders actor declared his “love” for the Australian on two occasions.

After it became clear neither of the partnerships were anything more than professional, fans reacted in shock when soap stars Ellie and Bobby were seen cosying up for the first time last month.
Now, the pair have done little to dispel those rumours after appearing together on the red carpet at the Lyric Theatre in Central London. Ellie, 22, and Bobby, 20, smiled for onlookers as they appeared to co-ordinate their look as they braved the winter cold.
Ellie wrapped up in a long leather coat, black jeans and a matching top with heels to boost her height alongside Bobby’s 6ft 2in frame. Freddie Slater star Bobby wore a black duffle coat with navy trousers as he put his arm around Ellie in a sweet display of affection.
Last week the pair attended the TV Choice Awards, meanwhile, with Bobby offering cryptic responses when quizzed about their bond. “Ellie is a sweetheart, look at her… she’s beautiful, she’s amazing, she’s good at what she does,” Bobby he said on another red carpet – this time at the London Hilton.
He continued to The Sun: “She’s a good dancer. She is a lovely, lovely friend of mine.” Grilled further about whether something more could be blossoming, Bobby added: “I don’t know…you’ll have to see what she says.”

And asked whether a relationship could be a possibility with his busy schedule, the coy star highlighted his return to EastEnders, before explaining he has a lot of “personal” and “Godly” things to do on top of his career, which appears to be going from strength-to-strength.
Ellie was equally as non-committal on the night but refused to deny they were an item, telling the same publication: “We’re all on tour together, it’s been really nice to actually spend time with each other. So on tour we have really bonded and it does feel like a big family. It’s been so much fun.”
