Bobby and Ellie are said to be in a secret romance and have enjoyed a ‘string of dates’ while touring the country for the Strictly Come Dancing tour in recent weeks.

Ellie and Bobby’s romance rumours began in early January when insiders reported they had become close while performing on the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

On Sunday, Bobby shared a sweet snap of his rumoured girlfriend Ellie on Instagram during Strictly’s Live Tour at The O2 Arena in London.

She couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as Bobby took a snap off-guard, captioning the post ‘yogi Ellie’, as she sat with her legs crossed.

It comes as Strictly pro Nikita Kuzmin shared cosy snaps of Ellie and Bobby holding hands amid their ‘secret dates’.

Bobby was reportedly seen knocking on Ellie’s hotel room door in just his pants, while staying at the Malmaison hotel in Birmingham.

To celebrate the tour kicking off, a party was thrown in the hotel bar when the soap star was spotted in his underwear on the sixth floor.

A hotel guest told The Sun: ‘Bobby was in our corridor knocking on Ellie’s door after their late-night bash at the hotel.

‘Bobby was clearly not shy about nearly being in the buff as we were making our way down to breakfast.’

Following the news about Ellie and Bobby’s rumoured romance, her cheating ex-boyfriend Reagan Pettman said he wanted to ‘rebuild the trust’ with the star.

He admitted that he was ‘not proud’ of kissing another girl behind her back. He told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I hurt her and broke her heart. I’m not proud of it.’

Ellie dated dancer Reagan for five years before his infidelity caused them to go their separate ways in May last year.

She reportedly joined the cast of Strictly last year to heal her heartbreak following her break-up.
