Ellie Leach has made a move to London after her Strictly Come Dancing win as her romance with Bobby Brazier heats up following the end of the BBC show's accompanying tour

Ellie Leach has made a move to London amid her romance with Bobby Brazier.

The Strictly Come Dancing winner has moved down to the capital, which is where her rumoured boyfriend, EastEnders star Bobby, lives with his dad, for a few months, according to her cousin Brooke Vincent. Brooke was on This Morning today where she revealed she planned to meet up with Ellie, who had moved down to London for a bit, tonight whilst she was in the capital too.

Ellie and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola took home the Glitterball Trophy during the BBC One Latin and ballroom show's final back in December, with Bobby ending up in the final too alongside his dance partner Dianne Buswell.

The pair were said to have sparked up a romance during their time on the show, with sources revealing at the time: "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."

The rumoured couple also made their red carpet debut last night where they posed with one another at the Hadestown theatre show press night at the Lyric Theatre in Central London on Wednesday night.

Bobby and Ellie were said to have been on a number of "secret dates" and were spotted holding hands. Speaking to The Sun, Bobby refused to be drawn on a potential romance but did call Ellie "beautiful" and "amazing" but added: "She is a lovely lovely friend of mine." When pressed on any romance between them, he insisted: "She's a lovely, lovely, lovely friend of mine."

Speaking about their time on the Strictly tour, he said: "I hope to stay in touch with her. I met her parents too, they're brilliant. The tour was always fun backstage, it was like one big party and we got to become better friends with people," whilst Ellie added: "We're all on tour together, it's been really nice to actually spend time with each other. It does feel like a big family."
