Gloomy Ellie Leach spotted for 1st time since ex said he wants her back – as boyfriend Bobby looks downcast
ELLIE Leach has been seen for the first time since her secret romance with Strictly star Bobby Brazier was revealed and her ex admitted that he had cheated on her.
Last week The Sun revealed that Ellie, 24, and EastEnders favourite Bobby, 22, have been enjoying secret dates together while on the Strictly tour.
Just days later Ellie’s former flame Reagan Pettman, 22, told of his regret after he cheated on her with a drunken snog in a nightclub.
Ellie has since been seen leaving her hotel in Liverpool ahead of their show which will be at the M&S Bank Arena .
The former Coronation Street looked in low spirits as she stepped out with dancer partner Vito Coppola looking in low spirits.
Ellie rocked a black t-shirt, denim jeans and iets frans… jacket.
She completed the look with a black Jacquemus handbag and leopard print scrunchie in her hair.
Back in May 2023 The Sun revealed that Ellie had split from her boyfriend of five years Regan.
The news came shortly after it was revealed that the Faye Windass actress was leaving the soap after 12 years on the cobbles.
Regan has recently opened up about why they went their separate ways.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “It sounds cliché but I was really drunk and it all happened at once.
“I knew what I had done was wrong and instantly regretted it.
“I want to rebuild the trust again and for her to be back in my life.
“But if she’s happy with Bobby, then I am happy for her. But I really miss her.”
Last week The Sun revealed that Ellie and Bobby have set tongues wagging by holding hands on the Strictly tour coach.
They said: “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.”
Days later Ellie distanced herself from Bobby and the rest of the Strictly gang.
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.”
