Lorraine Kelly dishes on Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier's rumoured romance

Strictly Come Dancing stars Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach would make a "lovely" couple, Lorraine Kelly said when discussing the reports.

It was reported this week that the EastEnders actor and Coronation Street star Ellie had enjoyed a string of dates, with them apparently seen holding hands. They were also said to have shared a kiss, after Ellie addressed rumours she was dating her pro dance partner Vito Coppola.

While neither of the pair have confirmed a romance, Ellie did share a sweet snap of them together online that only fuelled the rumours. Lorraine addressed the claims on her show on Thursday, calling it "lovely" and saying they had "lots in common".

Wishing them luck with their romance if it was confirmed to be true, Lorraine joked it was like "primary school" as she discussed their apparent secret meet-ups. She said: "Welcome back. In the papers this morning there are reports Ellie Leach is dating fellow contestant Bobby Brazier.

"Apparently they've been holding hands on the Strictly tour bus. Like primary school that is, isn't that lovely. Going on secret dates, even sharing a kiss. It could be that they're just pals, who knows. Good luck to them if it is a romance. They've got a lot in common."

It follows the reports that their friendship had blossomed into a romance. "Their friendship has grown and grown, and they’ve been spending nearly all their free time together before and after performances," an insider claimed to The Sun. "They’ve been having their meals together, and flirting increasingly openly. The chat on tour is they may have enjoyed a cheeky snog, and will go public with their romance any week now."

Bobby and Ellie were recently pictured enjoying a cosy meal together ahead of the BBC show tour commencing. The two Strictly stars headed to Nando's to pick up a well-needed treat as they prepared to show off their dance moves across the UK.

Meanwhile, Ellie and her Strictly dance partner Vito confirmed their relationship status too, following rumours the couple were more than friends. "We have a great relationship and honestly when you just find people, not just me and Ellie but their family which I love," Vito told The Mirror. When asked for clarification, the duo confirmed they were just friends.
