Strictly Come Dancing stars Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach have addressed romance rumours.
The pair, who both competed on last year’s series of the BBC show, have been linked in recent reports in the last few weeks, notably as they’ve been embarking on the Strictly tour.
Speaking to The Sun, Bobby said of last year’s winner: “Ellie is a sweetheart, look at her… she’s beautiful, she’s amazing, she’s good at what she does. She’s a good dancer. She is a lovely lovely friend of mine.”

Asked whether things are romantic between them, he reiterated: “She’s a lovely, lovely, lovely friend of mine.”
When pressed further if there was potential for more than friendship, Bobby teased: “I don’t know…you’ll have to see what she says.”
On whether he was open to a relationship, the EastEnders star admitted: “Ummm… I’ve got some things to do. I’ve got career things to do, I’ve got personal things to do, I’ve got Godly things to do. I’m going back to EastEnders. I’ve missed them so much.”

Ellie herself was also asked about the speculation, replying: “We’re all on tour together, it’s been really nice to actually spend time with each other.
“During the show, you’re with your partner all the time really and you don’t really get to see any of the other pros or the celebrities. So on tour we have really bonded and it does feel like a big family. It’s been so much fun.”
In other news, as mentioned himself, Bobby has revealed he will be returning to EastEnders as Freddie Slater very soon following the conclusion of the Strictly tour, confirming he will be back filming on Monday (February 19).
Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Tickets for Strictly‘s 2024 live arena tour are available now.
