I have always thought the Bobby thing was to distract from the real romance. I now think they are running with it and trolling the tabloids etc. (Ellie’s mum is in on it too judging by her post on Jeff’s insta yesterday)

What did Ellie’s mum say on Jeff’s Insta post?
 
About to say something unpopular if the Ellie and Bobby are playing up the romance rumours to distract from a Vito and Ellie romance - for me that’s a bit pathetic. Would make me think that V and E have slightly over inflated egos to go to such lengths to cover up their romance. I ain’t no Gio fan but give him his due with Jowita - once his fling with Jowita was made public he just got on it and didn’t play any games. Did a couple of staged paps shots to confirm - Jowita leaving his flat and then leaving a pub together. You can easily control a narrative for relationship - just depends on how much publicity you want from it.

I don't think (sadly) there is a Vito and Ellie romance. Ellie seems to be having fun with Bobby. I can't imagine it's remotely serious given that he said last week he was chatting to girls online and was going to hook up with one in Manchester. And even compared to Molly and Tyler, they were careful not to be seen together too much on tour - they certainly weren't wearing each others' clothes when the paps were there.

They obviously like each other and I guess are not only both youngsters but maybe helping each other through the tour - the others are much older, the pros have done it all before, Layton is younger but a veteran of performing. I can see why they've gravitated to each other.

I see where you’re coming from. For me though, I don’t think it’s that they are playing upto the romance rumours to necessarily distract from anything that might actually be going on.
The press have run with these rumours on E & B and I think they are just having a laugh about it.
I reckon there is something going on with E & V that they want to keep private and don’t want to publicise right now but that’s just my opinion.
Time will tell I guess after the tour when they come out of this Strictly bubble 💃🏼

If I were Ellie’s PR team - I would advise her of the following if she was in a relationship with Vito and wanted to keep it quiet. Go with the just good friends with Vito, that’s fine. When the Bobby stuff came out and reps were asked for comment - say just friends. That way Ellie is just in the position of being good friends with both. Then if she and Vito went public with a relationship - it can be sold easily as friendship developed into more etc. With social media these days - people in the public eye can easily control a narrative. I think greedy PR teams, just want money and don’t necessarily want to help their clients as people, they just see pound signs. Gemma and Gorka are good at controlling their own narratives - the recent story about their relationship being on the rocks, their agent ignored but Gemma casually addressed it on insta.
 
After seeing the pics this morning of Bobby and the scarf I’m inclined to say there is nothing going on and they are just playing up to the rumours for a bit of fun.
I’m also not sure if there is anything between E & V but if if someone asked me to bet on any romance I’d definitely put my money on E&V.

if there is something i can understand them keeping it quiet after all she has just had a 5 year relationship breakdown and Vito had a relationship with an ex strictly partner, was allegedly dating Helen S last year and maybe doesn’t want to be labelled as the strictly romancer or fanny rat version 2!

I agree with you there. If this is the situation, it could have been handled better. Gemma is nearly 40, been round the block and probably knows how to handle the press better.

If there is something going on, think it’s that reason, as well as he’s 9 years older. Although no one seems to bat an eye lid that Neil is 40 and his partner who he has a baby with is 24!

No way will Vito be a Fanny rat 🐀

She's only 24??!!
I genuinely had no idea
Katya is early to mid thirties but that makes it at least 16 year age gap 🤯
I can't look at either of them the same now
Too weird.

Yeah, as much as I joke about E&V, I am mindful that they share the same difference in age as me and my brother-in-law, who at 29 seemed so old when I first met him when I was just turning 20!

I know dancers are a different breed and probably remain younger for longer (unless you are Kai), but that age gap between Neil and Chyna is a bit weird.

Having said the above, I have 2 friends who married men 15 years older than them and the age thing only became noticeable once the men reached their 60s.

I just think Ellie and Bobby are just exactly what it looks like - 2 people in their early 20s just having a bit of fun and dicking about a bit. I can't imagine it's anything for anyone's PR to be concerned about or a cover for anything else

No it’s clearly actually a cover for… Bobby and Vito 🥰

Pretty much everyone Neil is around is considerably younger than him. All of his past public relationships, and everyone we've known he's pranked is 5-20 years younger. Speaks to him being quite an immature guy.
