STRICTLY Come Dancing champ Ellie Leach has appeared to take a thinly-veiled swipe at her ex Bobby Brazier in a brand new post.
The Coronation Street actress, 22, grew close to EastEnders hunk Bobby following their time on the BBC dancing contest but it was revealed they had called it quits last month.
Ellie and Bobby enjoyed a string of secret dates after he wooed her backstage at the BBC contest despite rumours she was romancing her dancing partner, Vito Coppola.
Now she has appeared to make a cryptic dig at her model ex with a telltale comment in a brand new cosy reunion selfie with Vito.
She appeared to hint that she was only associating herself with people who were "good for her" in the wake of the split.

Captioning the smiling pic, Ellie said: "Spending time with people who are good for your soul."
She went on to add: "Love you @vitocoppola."
Speculation was rife that sparks were flying between Ellie and Vito before her romance with Bobby was uncovered after their incredibly close displays on the dancefloor.
The pairing were inseparable on the show and some fans even suggested they were close to kissing at the end of one passionate performance live on air.
Despite this, Ellie has always maintained they are simply close friends and it seems their bond has continued well beyond the programme thanks to their latest post.
It has even led to some fans insisting they should be together with one of Ellie's followers commenting underneath the snap: "Are you a couple now? You look so good together?"
As someone else added: "I’ll say it again you two look good together. I hope this friendship blossoms."
Ellie, who recently broke down while discussing her cheating ex on new ITV reality show Drama Queens, is believed to be single following her break-up from Bobby.
However, he is understood to have moved on with his glam co-star Jazzy Phoenix, who plays scheming sex worker Nadine on the BBC One soap.
