Bobby Brazier seemingly has no qualms about keeping his rumoured romance with Ellie Leach under wraps, after he was seen in his underwear at her hotel door.
The actors are both currently travelling the country with their fellow Strictly Come Dancing co-stars on the live tour, performing for scores of adoring fans after Ellie and Vito Coppola won last year’s BBC series.
In recent weeks, it’s been reported that Bobby, 20, and Ellie, 22, have discovered a spark between them, with the pair spotted on a dinner date and reported to have shared a cheeky kiss.
While in Birmingham, the EastEnders star is said to have headed to the Coronation Street actress’ room the morning after they enjoyed a party in the hotel bar.
‘Bobby was in our corridor knocking on Ellie’s door after their late-night bash at the hotel,’ a hotel guest said, according to The Sun.
‘Bobby was clearly not shy about nearly being in the buff as we were making our way down to breakfast.’
Despite the reports of this latest tryst, it’s been claimed that Ellie has been trying to distance herself from Bobby as of late, as she apparently hoped to keep things under wraps a bit longer.
An insider revealed: ‘Ellie is usually really happy go lucky but she’s not been herself recently.
‘She’s even stopped chatting to fans who have been desperate to see her, which really isn’t like her.’
They continued to The Sun: ‘Ellis is super private and doesn’t really like people talking about her love life. She’s just keeping her head down and concentrating on the tour for now.’
A source had earlier told the publication: ‘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.’
However, despite rumours swirling, Ellie and Bobby had managed to keep things a secret from their co-stars, with judge Craig Revel Horwood admitting to Metro.co.uk that he had no idea about it.
He told us: ‘Ellie and Bobby?! No, I didn’t [see that coming], I didn’t even know about that, but there you go.’
He added that nothing surprises him when it comes to Strictly romances, as the notorious curse has swirled over the past 20 years.
‘Nothing surprises me,’ he said. ‘I didn’t know about that, that’s news to me darling!’
Craig went on: ‘Romance blossoms, if there’s two single people then fine let them do whatever they want, I say.
