Strictly Come Dancing's Ellie Leach's ex Reagan Pettman has spoken out in a new interview and admitted to cheating on her. He explained the revelation ended his relationship with the former Coronation Street actress.

Speaking to The Sun Reagan, who was in a relationship with Ellie for five years, said he had drunkenly snogged another girl while in a nightclub.

He claimed to have "hurt her" and "broke her heart" “It sounds cliché but I was really drunk and it all happened at once," he told the publication. “I knew what I had done was wrong and instantly regretted it." Reagan said he came clean to Ellie, who won the last season of Strictly with Vito Coppola, about the infidelity and she ended the relationship once the trust had gone.

Ellie, 22, is now rumoured to be dating fellow Strictly and EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, who she is currently on the Strictly tour with. "Their friendship has grown and grown, and they've been spending nearly all their free time together before and after performances," a source told The Sun of Ellie and Bobby's alleged romance. "They've been having their meals together and flirting increasingly openly.The chat on tour is that they may have enjoyed a cheeky snog and will go public with their romance any week now." However, Reagan, 22, said he is "happy for her" if she is indeed with Bobby. “Whatever she does, as long as she is happy, then I can’t say or do anything about that," he said.
