Bobby Brazier spotted knocking on Ellie Leach’s hotel room door in his pants — days before their romance was revealed

BOBBY Brazier was spotted knocking on Ellie Leach’s hotel room door in his pants — days before it emerged the pair were secretly dating.

Guests saw the EastEnders actor, 20, in his underwear on the sixth floor of Birmingham’s Malmaison hotel last Saturday.

It was the morning after the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour in front of an 8,000-strong audience.

Bobby and 22-year-old Ellie, were among those celebrating at a party in the hotel bar after the tour kicked off.

A hotel guest 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.”

Last week The Sun revealed that Ellie and Bobby — who both made the Strictly final — had been spotted holding hands on the tour coach.

A source said: “The chat on tour is that they may have enjoyed a cheeky snog and will go public with their romance any week now.”

The actress — who played Faye Windass on Coronation Street — was rumoured to have grown close to her Italian dance partner Vito Coppola, 31, while on the BBC1 show.

But Ellie dismissed rumours of a relationship with him, saying: “We’ve just been having the most amazing time dancing.

“And we built a really strong bond and a friendship that will last forever.”

When Judge Craig Revel Horwood claimed there was “100 per cent romance”, they both laughed and said: “No, no.”

Meanwhile, Bobby — son of late Big Brother star Jade Goody — was a hit with Strictly viewers after rising to fame as Freddie Slater in EastEnders.

He split from his model girlfriend Liberty Love last year and was briefly linked to fashion consultant Boadecia Evans.

Last month ten million saw Ellie lift the Glitterball trophy — beating Bobby and his Australian professional partner Dianne Buswell in the final as well as Layton Williams and his partner Nikita Kuzmin.
