Grilled about what's really going on between him and the show winner, Bobby branded Ellie "beautiful" and "amazing" as he did nothing to dampen the speculation surrounding them.
The hunk said of their relationship: "Ellie is a sweetheart, look at her…she’s beautiful, she’s amazing, she’s good at what she does.
"She’s a good dancer. She is a lovely lovely friend of mine.”
Pressed on whether things have turned romantic between them, he cryptically repeated: “She’s a lovely, lovely, lovely friend of mine.”

Asked whether there was the potential for things to be more than just friends, he added: “I don’t know…you’ll have to see what she says.”
Bobby also refused to confirm if he was open to a relationship, responding: "Ummm…I’ve got some things to do. I’ve got career things to do, I’ve got personal things to do, I’ve got Godly things to do.
" I’m going back to EastEnders. I’ve missed them so much.”
Ellie was equally non-committal when we quizzed her on the romance rumours, but refused to deny they were an item.

She said: “We’re all on tour together, it’s been really nice to actually spend time with each other.
" During the show, you’re with your partner all the time really and you don’t really get to see any of the other pros or the celebrities.

"So on tour we have really bonded and it does feel like a big family. It’s been so much fun.”
Ellie also spoke about her sadness that the tour wrapped this weekend, but vowed to keep strutting her stuff.
She revealed: “I’m so sad that it’s all over, it’s really really emotional. I think because we had so much fun, we were all together and it was so lovely.
"Yeah, it’s really emotional to have left that behind. I’m going to keep up the dancing, I’ve really fallen in love with dancing, so I’ll keep it up.”
It comes as the pair were snapped looking cosy in the lobby of a London hotel after the Strictly tour wrap party.
Bobby cradled Ellie's head in his arms as she held onto his arm.
And he appeared close with her mum Karen as he held hands with her while walking through the foyer.
Rumours have swirled throughout the tour that Bobby and Ellie have been involved in a secret romance after they enjoyed a string of 'secret dates'.
The pair were snapped getting Nando's together, and have posted several cosy snaps on their social media.
Bobby was also seen knocking on Ellie's hotel room door wearing nothing but his pants during the tour.
Guests saw the actor in his underwear on the sixth floor of Birmingham’s Malmaison hotel last month.

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.”
