BOBBY Brazier has invited his model ex to watch him perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
The EastEnders star, 20, is said to be 'besotted' with his former lover who he met through a modelling agency.
Bobby has reportedly been sending Tillie Amartey, who is also 20, secret messages.
A source close to the actor has said he is hopeful he can rekindle his romance with Tillie, who stars in Waterloo Road.
They told The Mirror: “Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren’t compatible.
"There was no big row and, as they have always been on/off, Bobby hasn’t given up.

"He is doing all the running at the moment. Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio."
With Tillie living in Manchester, she is yet to decide if she will travel down to Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, where the show is based.
The insider added: “She doesn’t want to fall back into something if she thinks it won’t work out for them in the long-term."
Bobby is paired with pro dancer Dianne Buswell on Strictly - and he previously declared his love for the 34-year-old.
