When handsome Strictly star Bobby Brazier was spotted kissing transgender reality star Ella Morgan at an awards ceremony earlier this year, there were hopes that they would embark on a relationship.
However, Bobby was quick to reject Ella’s advances as she attempted to rekindle things at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night.
The couple were first introduced in May when the 21-year-old, who plays Freddie Slater in Eastenders, was spotted kissing Ella at the TV Baftas.
And at the lavish afterparty, held in the American Express Lounge at the O2, the 30-year-old reality star again made a beeline for the actor, but this time Bobby was “not into it at all,” according to a fellow partygoer.
An onlooker told MailOnline of the ‘cringe’ moment: ‘Ella was keen to show Bobby her dress and clearly hoped the spark would fly again, but Bobby wasn’t interested and ignored her.’

An onlooker told MailOnline of the ‘cringe’ moment: ‘Ella was keen to show Bobby her dress and clearly hoped sparks would fly again, but Bobby wasn’t interested and gave her the cold shoulder.’
He was polite but firmly rejected the suggestion that the two might have another drunken kiss.
‘Bobby apologized and then ran across the room to hide from Ella.’
Ella, who is starring in the new series of Celebs Go Dating, wore a scantily printed yellow and gold dress to the extravagant bash, where she partied into the night.
She became the UK’s first trans dating show contestant when she joined E4’s Married In First Sight in 2023, but has been unlucky in finding the perfect partner. She can currently be seen on Celebs Go Dating.
Ella spoke about her affair with Bobby: ‘We had a good time, but now I’m putting everything into this. Yes, we’re friendly. Bobby’s a sweet guy and we get along really well. He knows I’m doing this show.’
A few months before her naughty kiss, Ella signed up for Married At First Sight thinking she had found the man of her dreams in JJ Slater, but she was soon disappointed when their romance quickly fizzled out.

When asked about her time with JJ, who is now in a relationship with Katie Price, Ella said that despite being the “first guy she’s really liked in a long time,” she didn’t think he was interested in their relationship.
She also explained that JJ made her “realize what she didn’t realize.”
Bobby, the son of television presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Big Brother star Jade Goody, was recently spotted kissing X Factor star Virginia Hampson, also 21, on the streets of London. However, he is believed to be single.
After last year’s Strictly, in which he was a finalist, Bobby was seen with Ellie Leach, who won the glitter ball. However, sources close to both parties claim they were just good friends.
Bobby won the prestigious Rising Star Award at last year’s NTAs and became a national star when he appeared on Strictly.
