BBC Strictly Come Dancing Bobby Brazier’s secret messages to model ex who he’s ‘besotted’ with

EastEnders star Bobby is hoping he can win back model Tillie

EastEnders heartthrob Bobby Brazier has been caught up in a secret messaging drama with his model ex, Tillie Amartey.

According to insiders, the 20-year-old actor is still “absolutely besotted” with the gorgeous model, who he met through modelling agency Unsigned. Sources close to Bobby say that he’s the one doing all the chasing at the moment, with constant messages being sent in between rehearsals for his latest gig on Strictly Come Dancing. And it seems that he’s keen to show off his moves to his ex, as he’s even invited her to watch him on the show.

The source said: “He is doing all the running at the moment. Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio.” But Tillie, who hails from Manchester, is playing hard to get and hasn’t yet decided if she wants to give the romance another go.

They added: “Tillie does really like him, but she is based in Manchester and hasn’t decided if she will come down to see him. She doesn’t want to fall back into something if she thinks it won’t work out for them in the long term.” Before dating Tillie, the star – who plays Freddie Slater in the BBC soap – was linked to model and influencer Liberty Love. But Bobby confirmed his split from his model girlfriend in September 2022. The couple had been dating for over 18 months before they parted ways for good, according to sources.

A source close to the couple revealed: “She and Bobby had been on and off, but it seems that it’s over for good now.” In July 2022, they unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted all evidence of their relationship from their social media accounts. However, they reconciled and resumed their romance before Bobby decided to call it quits ahead of his debut on Strictly Come Dancing.
