Strictly Come Dancing’s ‘REAL’ winner emerges as ‘they’re set to make a whopping £2million in a matter of months after appearing on show’ – and it’s not champ Ellie Leach

Bobby Brazier’s bank balance is reportedly set to get a bumper boost after his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing this year, with the star set to make £2million over the next 12 months.

The actor, 20, and his professional partner Dianne Buswell, 34, finished in third place during Saturday’s final behind runner-up, actor Layton Williams, 29, and pro Nikita Kuzmin, 25, and winner, former Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach, 22, and her dance partner Vito Coppola, 31.

While Ellie was named this year’s champion, it is claimed Bobby will benefit most from competing on the show after seeing his star soar as a result.

The BBC is said to want EastEnders cast member Bobby to host a travelogue show with his television presenter father Jeff, 44, who has also seen his profile amplified after he was shown in the Strictly audience each week while supporting his son.

Bobby, whose mother is late Big Brother star Jade Goody, may also be invited to audition for West End shows, be considered for record deals and be cast in advertising campaigns.

A TV insider told The Sun: ‘From the start of Strictly, Beeb bosses realised that they had a serious star on their hands — and the fact that he made it to the final was a complete bonus.

‘So they’re incredibly keen to keep him with the Corporation, not least because Bobby is seen as home-grown talent as he got his big TV break on EastEnders.

‘The travelogue show would be a shrewd way to tempt him to stay with the Beeb and is likely to be among the first of many projects they’ll tempt him with — many with a fat pay cheque too.

‘Involving dad Jeff is also a smart idea as his profile has been raised enormously by appearing in the Strictly audience for the past three months. 

‘The bond between Brazier junior and senior is obvious to everyone and bosses are keen to tap into that.’

Meawhile, Ellie is predicted to have banked a million pounds by her 24th birthday and hosting top shows thanks to her ‘savvy’ decision to take part on Strictly Come Dancing.

Ellie won the hearts of viewers with her energetic routines and her steamy moments with dance partner Vito have set tongues wagging, with the two rumoured to be in a secret relationship.

The soap star, who went into the final as the hot favourite, emerged victorious and the youngest ever winner of the popular BBC ballroom show.

And according to an expert, her future is looking just as starry, as he predicts she has ‘all the makings of a huge star on stage and screen’.

Brand and culture expert Nick Ede, told The Sun that Ellie and Vito could be ‘the next Gorka Márquez and Gemma Atkinson after meeting on the show and could take their dancing partnership to do personal appearances and performances.

According to Nick, Ellie leaving Corrie ahead of her Strictly stint was a ‘shrewd’ move as she could move into West End performing or other acting roles, like former contestants Ore Oduba and Kimberley Walsh.

He said: ‘They say when one door closes another one opens – and for Ellie this door is huge and covered in glitter, with movie star lights all around it.’

Nick also predicted that Ellie’s star could also take her to fronting BBC shows, similar to Helen Skelton who now hosts Morning Live.

Nick said: ‘Ellie’s become a household name and the BBC won’t want to let her go, so I can imagine a show like Morning Live will snap her up to get the younger demographic watching, as she’s only 22.

‘I can see her earning over half a million in a year with brand deals, personal appearances and presenting and TV roles.’

Ellie and Vito were both gobsmacked when their names were announced as the winners, with the soap star’s family breaking down in tears as they watched from the studio audience.

The overwhelmed duo choked back tears as they embraced before speaking to hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

‘I actually, genuinely cannot believe this,’ a stunned Ellie muttered before exclaiming that this was the first time she had ever seen Vito cry.

‘This is for you!’ Ellie told her partner, who said the win was just the ‘cherry on the top’ before branding her a ‘diamond’.

They raised the glitterball trophy as pyrotechnics sparked and confetti fell from the ceiling as they were lifted onto the shoulders of their former competitors.

The pair had impressed throughout the final after performing a Pasa Doble, Show Dance and finally an American Smooth.

The final of the three bagged them a full 40 marks with the judges gushing over the actress’ ‘growth’ and blossoming confidence during her time on the show.

The routine was branded ‘flawless’ and saw Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all score it 10 points each.

Later speaking with co-host Claudia they struggled to contain their emotions with Vito saying: ‘For me, Ellie is Strictly,’ before he wrapped his arms around her and said: ‘She is my winner anyway!’.
