EastEnders star Bobby Brazier has broken his silence on the alleged romance he sparked up with his co-star on Strictly Come Dancing Ellie Leach, who won the 2023 Glitterball trophy alongside her professional partner Vito Coppola.

Bobby, who also made it to the final of the BBC dancing competition, was said to be growing close to former Coronation Street star Ellie during their time together on the Strictly live tour after reports her and Vito had been an item off-screen.

However the two soap stars have more recently been linked as they snuggled up to one another and even reportedly shared a kiss on the tour bus as they were said to have enjoyed a number of dates.Ellie and Bobby attended the TV Choice Awards on Monday night, when 20-year-old Bobby gave a cryptic response when asked about their relationship."Ellie is a sweetheart, look at her…she’s beautiful, she’s amazing, she’s good at what she does," Bobby said on the London Hilton red carpet ahead of the event.

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." When asked if a relationship was on the cards for him, he explained he has a lot of "personal" and "Godly" things to do on top of his career.
