It seems a new Strictly Come Dancing romance might have emerged as finalists Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach have reportedly been enjoying secret dates together.
Coronation Street star Ellie, 22, and EastEnders actor Bobby, 20, dazzled fans of the BBC show for weeks with their incredible routines. The pair have been out on the live Strictly tour across the UK.
But it’s said they’ve been sneaking off for dates when they’re not performing – and that they’ve shared a kiss. And it’s believed they’re planning to reveal their romance.

A source told The Sun: “Bobby and Ellie are the talk of the tour. Their friendship has grown and grown, and they’ve been spending nearly all their free time together before and after performances.

“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 any week now.”
Bobby and Ellie, the two youngest Strictly stars of the recent series, were previously snapped together on a date at Nando’s last week. They were also seen arriving at their hotel in Sheffield a few days ago.

And on Tuesday, Nikita Kuzmin shared a photo of the pair looking rather cosy as they enjoyed dinner together backstage. Bobby’s arm was draped over the back of Ellie’s chair.
The pair reportedly partied until the early hours at a lavish hotel bash after the opening night of their tour. It’s said Strictly bosses forked out £3,000 hiring a floor at the Malmaison hotel in Birmingham.

It had previously been rumoured that Ellie was dating her dance partner Vito Coppola. However, the pair repeatedly denied the speculation and insisted they were just friends.
Bobby said he “doesn’t deal” with romance rumours following reports he fancied dance partner Dianne Buswell, despite her being in a relationship with YouTuber Joe Sugg. He told the Mirror: “I don’t really deal with it. She is my partner. As long as she is okay and as long as Joe is okay, then I don’t really care.”
Daily Star has contacted representatives of Bobby and Ellie for comment.
