Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier are seen hand-in-hand as speculation continues to swirl that they're more than just friends.

The finalists are currently on tour with the Strictly cast and are said to be spending "nearly all their free time together" and "flirting increasingly openly". The pair were seen leaving their Newcastle hotel together last week before Ellie shared a photo of her and Bobby cuddled up together on Instagram recently, which further sparked romance rumours.

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. The next day enjoyed a secret trip to Nando's during a break on the Strictly tour in Sheffield.

Now dance pro Nikita Kuzmin has got people talking as he uploaded a selection of shots from their time together in Liverpool. In the backstage collection, the smiling pair get close alongside Kai Widdrington and choreographer Robbie Kmetoni, who are beaming in the photo.

Plenty of the other big names are part of the fun and Nikita poses alongside Diane Buzell and also with stage star Layton Williams. One fan told him: "What a crew! You guys! Proper feel good vibes" while another wrote in the comments: "What happens on tour stays on tour haha."

Ellie and Bobby couldn't hide their smiles as they stepped out in Liverpool on Wednesday night. It came after a hotel guest told The Sun they spotted him in his underwear on the sixth floor. They said: "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."

Bobby was paired with Dianne, 34, for the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing. The professional dancer is happily in a long-term relationship with YouTuber Joe Sugg after they met on the BBC dance show. Opening up about Dianne, Bobby recently told The Mirror that he and his partner are just friends - and that he "doesn't deal" with romance.

He said: "I don't really deal with it. She is my partner. As long as she is okay and as long as Joe is okay, then I don’t really care." Dianne added: "We have just been such good friends from the beginning, we have always thought we want to be ourselves. There’s always going to be rumours on Strictly isn’t there."

Meanwhile, former Corrie actress Ellie was rumoured to have grown close to her Italian dance partner Vito Coppola, 31, who she lifted the Glitterball trophy. But they recently confirmed they were just friends. Ellie's ex boyfriend Reagan Pettman spoke out amid claims Ellie and Bobby are together. They broke up in May last year after five years together. He said he would "be happy" for Ellie if she was with Bobby but admitted he wanted her back. He also revealed the reason behind their split and said it was his fault and that he had "broken her heart" by cheating on her.
