Strictly's Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach leave hotel together amid new romance
Strictly Come Dancing pair Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach have been snapped together for the first time since claims they've been secretly dating were revealed.
Ellie lifted the show's Glitterball Trophy last month with her professional dance partner Vito Coppola - pipping rivals Bobby and Dianne Buswell to the accolade in a tense final that also involved Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin.
Following a series of steamy performances and as a result of their on-screen chemistry, rumours were rife throughout the series that Ellie and Vito were romantically involved. Similarly, speculation surrounding EastEnders star Bobby and Dianne also mounted as the former declared his "love" for his partner on more than one occasion.

It has also been claimed that they've been seen holding hands on the tour bus and have even shared a "cheeky snog" in view of others.
On Thursday, meanwhile, in snaps obtained by the Sun, Ellie and Bobby were seen leaving their hotel in Newcastle together following the latest leg of the tour. Both parties were seen pulling a large suitcase and carrying hold-alls, with makeup-free Ellie wrapping up warm in a long, black leather-style coat and a multi-coloured scarf. Bobby on the other hand, wore a black puffer jacket over a grey t-shirt, completing his look with pale blue jeans.

A source told the same publication earlier this week: "Bobby and Ellie are the talk of the tour. Their friendship has grown and grown, and 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.
"The chat on tour is they may have enjoyed a cheeky snog, and will go public with their romance any week now. They’re both hugely popular characters, and make a really cute couple. There are also endless commercial opportunities for them as a pair because they are both hugely in demand, with the world at their young feet. Everyone is very excited about this hot new pairing."
Ellie and Bobby allegedly first noticed a romantic spark after a performance in Birmingham, before they spent the night partying together. It was claimed that the pair had also enjoyed a secret trip to Nando's during a break on the Strictly tour in Sheffield
The Mirror has invited representatives for Ellie and Bobby to comment.
