Ellie, 23, and Bobby, 20, met during the last season of Strictly Come Dancing, but grew close on the show’s tour in January and February.
Last week, it was reported that their whirlwind romance had come to an end, with the Eastenders star reportedly moving on with his soap co-star, Patsy Kensit.
A source told The Sun about their split: “Love blossomed between them when they were in close quarters on the tour, but once that ended they both spent much less time together.”
“So they decided the best thing to do was quit while they were ahead and while they were still pals, because they both really cherish the friendship they have.”
Ellie and her dance partner Vito were crowned the winners of Strictly Come Dancing year.
The pair sparked romance rumours during their time on the show, when fans pointed out their undeniable chemistry on the dance floor.
However, the pair have repeatedly insisted that they are just good friends.
Appearing on This Morning after their big win last year, the pair denied rumours of a romance between them when pressed by presenters Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle.
Ellie claimed: “We’ve been through so much together, we’ve spent every day together for the past three months.
“So we’re really really lucky to have that bond that we’ve got and we’ll be friends for life.”
