She wore a black minidress, with Bobby keeping it casual dressed in a pale blue tracksuit.

At one point, the 20-year-old actor pulled the woman closer for a warm hug and he nestled his face into her hair.

They stood chatting for some time as they looked at a mobile phone Bobby held in his hands.

Hours later Bobby appeared very close to Ellie's parents, Karen and Al, who turned up at the hotel where the cast of the Strictly live tour are staying.

The soap star looked to be holding Karen's hand as he walked through the foyer wearing an Italia football top.

Last night, Bobby was quizzed on his romance with Ellie at the TV Choice Awards and admitted he had feelings for her.

It comes as The Sun told how the star and Coronation Street actress Ellie, both finalists in the last series of Strictly, had enjoyed secret dates.

And they had secretly kissed while touring the country together on the stage adaptation of the BBC One show.

But Ellie had recently distanced herself from Bobby, and the rest of the Strictly gang after their romance was revealed.

The Strictly winner, 22, was said to be gutted that everyone found out as she was hoping to keep it under wraps.

Those close to the star have noted how she hasn’t been in the mood to socialise over the last couple of days.

An insider said: “Ellie is usually really happy go lucky but she’s not been herself recently.

“She’s even stopped chatting to fans who have been desperate to see her, which really isn’t like her.

“Ellis is super private and doesn’t really like people talking about her love life. She’s just keeping her head down and concentrating on the tour for now.”
