Ella Morgan, a star of Married At First Sight UK, is setting her sights on joining Strictly Come Dancing. The 30-year-old hopes to become the first transgender participant on the show, inspired by her new romantic interest, 20-year-old EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier. Their budding relationship came to light after they were seen kissing at the BAFTA TV Awards last week.
Bobby Brazier, who competed in Strictly in 2023 alongside Dianne Buswell, was seen passionately kissing Ella Morgan at the BAFTA after party. Both stars have shown mutual social media interest, with Bobby liking Ella’s Instagram posts, including a lingerie shot from February, and Ella regularly engaging with Bobby’s posts.
Speaking to New magazine, Ella Morgan expressed her desire to compete on Strictly and perform an impressive rumba, aiming for viewers to appreciate her as “just Ella.” Bobby’s journey on Strictly and his dancing skills have reportedly fueled Ella’s aspirations.
Bobby has also been connected to other celebrities, such as his co-star Ellie Leach and actress Jazzy Phoenix. Meanwhile, Ella gained fame as the first transgender bride on Married At First Sight UK, where she initially paired with pansexual groom Nathaniel Valentino. Their marriage was short-lived, and she later explored a relationship with co-star JJ Slater.
At the BAFTA TV Awards, Strictly Come Dancing won in the Entertainment category, while Married At First Sight UK lost to Squid Game: The Challenge in the Reality category. Bobby Brazier is the son of TV presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody.
Ella Morgan shared her BAFTA experience on Instagram, highlighting her excitement about attending the event for the first time. Bobby, known for his role as Freddie Slater on EastEnders, continues to support various industry colleagues, including helping a pregnant Emily Atack at the awards ceremony.
Both stars aim to continue their burgeoning careers in television, with Ella particularly eyeing a future on Strictly Come Dancing.
