Lorraine discusses Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier rumours
Lorraine Kelly gave her input on reports Strictly Come Dancing stars Ellie Leach and Bobby Brazier have grown closer during their time on the live tour. The 64-year-old presenter reacted to the news on her talk show on Thursday morning.
Ex Coronation Street actress Ellie, 22, and Eastenders actor Bobby, 20, have been reportedly enjoying "secret dates" while they are on the road across the UK.
The youngsters were finalists on the BBC dance show and it is said they have been spending a lot of time together.
Lorraine 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."
She continued: “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.”
“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.”
Representatives for Bobby and Ellie have been contacted by the Express for comment.
