Bobby Brazier ‘flirted with MAFS star Ella Morgan for months’ before steamy kiss at BAFTAs
EastEnders and Strictly star Bobby Brazier seemed to have his pick of the ladies at Sunday night's BAFTA awards - but has MAFS star Ella captured his heart?
Bobby Brazier has reportedly been flirting with Married At First Sight star Ella Morgan for months – but no one noticed.
The 20-year-old EastEnders actor and reality star Ella, 30, couldn’t keep their hands off each other at the BAFTA TV awards after party in London earlier this week and were pictured locking lips a number of times throughout the wild night.
But far from meeting for the first time at the star-studded ceremony on Sunday night, it’s emerged that the unlikely pair have been enjoying a number of messages on social media for weeks, including liking each other’s posts and having secret DM chats.
It comes after Ella first spotted Bobby on Strictly Come Dancing at the end of last year, which was won by former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach – who Bobby had a brief fling with after growing close during their time on the BBC dance show. He has also been linked to his EastEnders co-star Jazzy Phoenix, but she confirmed at the BAFTAs that they are not dating. So could Ella be Bobby’s new girlfriend?

Ella shot to fame on the last UK series of Married At First Sight and made history as the show’s first ever transgender contestant. She was married to groom Nathaniel Valentino, but things didn’t work out when intimacy failed to blossom between them.
She then controversially re-entered the Channel 4 reality show with JJ Slater, another groom, after both cheated on their partners and came back into the show with the experts approval as a new couple. JJ is now in a relationship with Katie Price and it was reported that Ella has signed up to the next series of Celebs Go Dating in a bid to find love.
Though whether romance is on the cards with Bobby – who is nearly 10 years younger – remains to be seen as he is not thought to be following her on Instagram despite exchanging messages, sparking rumours he may have snubbed her after they were pictured kissing. The Mirror has reached out to reps for Bobby and Ella for further comment on the story.
Giving an insight into what went down at the BAFTA after part, a source revealed; “Bobby and Ella were going for it, it was a proper snog and he went back a couple of times for more. They were sharing flirty banter and then they pulled each other to one side for a snog by the bar.” The source continued to The Sun: “Later, they had their arms wrapped around each other for another snog, too.” And it turned out to be a busy night for Bobby. He was also spotted getting cosy with 29-year-old Top Boy actress Jasmine Jobson.
The pair were snapped holding hands as they appeared to dance together at an after party. Jasmine won big at the awards ceremony as she picked up best supporting actress for her role as Jaq in the show’s final season. But when asked by a reporter how his relationship with his new girlfriend was going, Bobby quipped back: “What new girlfriend?”
Speaking about Bobby and Ella’s alleged romance to the Daily Mail, a source said: “Bobby and Ella have exchanged private messages over Instagram and been liking each other’s posts for months now. Ella watched him on Strictly and admired his dance ability. She aspires to star on the show one day.
“Since filming MAFS, Ella’s confidence has grown and she has been speaking about getting to know a mystery man since February. After seeing their chemistry together on Sunday at the BAFTA TV Awards, her former co-stars believe it could be Bobby.”
