STRICTLY winner Ellie Leach has been warned to “tread carefully” with her ladies’ man boyfriend Bobby Brazier.
The comments came as it emerged he left a previous lover alone in a hotel room to go on a date with another girl — in the bar downstairs.
He was spending a night away with Belle Smith, 19, when he ditched her for a couple of hours to meet his other love interest.
Gutted Belle only found out when she saw the other female’s Instagram pics of their drinks at the five-star Corinthia London hotel.
A source said: “Bobby is a nice, good-looking lad who’s obviously a big hit with the ladies.
“He and Ellie would make a great couple — but she should tread carefully.”
Pals said the EastEnders actor, 20 — a Strictly 2023 runner-up as ex-Corrie star Ellie, 22, triumphed — had been seeing Belle for more than six months when it happened.
One told The Sun: “Things seemed to be going really well between Bobby and Belle.
“Then he went and did this.
“To top things off, she’d paid for the hotel room for the night.
“Belle was devastated.
“She felt betrayed by Bobby and called things off with him soon after.”
It is understood to have happened in 2021.
Our source added: “They’re both still young and have moved on but it wasn’t Bobby’s finest moment.”
Bobby, son of late reality TV star Jade Goody and presenter Jeff Brazier, had been in an on-off relationship with model Liberty Love, 18, for a year and a half before Strictly.
They called it quits in September.
In October, he was reportedly texting another of his exes, actress Tillie Amartey, 20, and inviting her to watch him perform on the BBC dance show.
The Sun revealed last week he and Ellie have grown close.
They have been seen holding hands on the Strictly tour coach and sources say they are “spending nearly all their free time together”.
A rep for Bobby did not respond to a request for comment.
Belle did not respond when approached by The Sun.
