Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier leave hotel separately following 'secret dates'
Strictly Come Dancing's Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier appeared to play off romance rumours.
The 2023 winner was seen leaving the hotel alone amid reports she has enjoyed "a string of secret dates" with Bobby. Both stars are currently on tour with the Strictly cast and are said to be spending "nearly all their free time together" and "flirting increasingly openly".
However, when they headed to Glasgow the duo appeared to be wanting to keep some distance between them. Ellie, 22, was all smiles as she left their hotel and greeted fans outside. Yet she was spotted without her co-stars as she headed off to rehearsals. The former Coronation Street star kept comfy in a black tracksuit and a leather jacket.

Ellie had previously been rumoured to be in a relationship with her Strictly dance partner, Vito Coppola (Instagram/ @ellielouiseleach)EastEnders ' Bobby, 20, later emerged from the same hotel but was joined by other members of the Strictly cast including partner Dianne Buswell. He appeared in high spirits as he posed for selfies. Later in the day Ellie was spotted alone again as she kept a low profile to nip out for a coffee and to do some shopping.
It comes after the pair were seen leaving their Newcastle hotel together last week. Ellie shared a photo of her and Bobby cuddled up together on Instagram recently, which further sparked romance rumours. She had her arm around him whilst seemingly on a tour bus. They were previously photographed together at Nando's in Birmingham ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing live tour opening in the city on January 19.

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. 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.
They have already received the backing of Lorraine Kelly, who addressed the claims on her show, calling it "lovely" and saying they had "lots in common". She said: "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."
Ellie and her Strictly dance partner Vito confirmed their relationship status too, following fierce 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.
