"He and Ellie would make a great couple — but she should tread carefully.'

“Their friendship has grown and grown, and they’ve been spending nearly all their free time together before and after performances. They’ve been having their meals together, and flirting increasingly openly.

“The chat on tour is they may have enjoyed a cheeky snog, and will go public with their romance any week now.

“They’re both hugely popular characters, and make a really cute couple. There are also endless commercial opportunities for them as a pair because they are both hugely in demand, with the world at their young feet.

"Everyone is very excited about this hot new pairing.”
