Bobby Brazier and Danielle Harold did nothing to shut down romance rumours as they looked besotted with one another on Thursday night [October 13].
The EastEnders stars looked cosy as they both attended the National Television Awards together at the OVO Arena in London, with insiders claiming the rumoured hot new couple had spent the afternoon drinking together with their co-stars in a local pub nearby the arena.
Danielle, who plays Lola Pearce on the BBC soap, looked sensational as she attended the event in a stunning silk dress with a thigh high split, while the late Jade Goody's eldest son looked dapper in a smart black tuxedo – with his bow tie worn undone as he partied into the night.
"Bobby and Danielle walked separately from the rest of the EastEnders cast at times. They certainly looked comfortable in each other's company," an onlooker present at the star-studded event has told the Mirror – adding how the two soap stars looked cosy and in good spirits throughout the night.
The two stars certainly looked close as they were snapped at TV's biggest event of the year, with Jeff Brazier's son even planting a kiss on his co-stars head at one point as they partied together at the swanky bash.
At one point, the Freddie Slater star gazed into Danielle's eyes, as they left the arena together – with the teenage actor placing a handing sweetly around his colleague's face.
It's been reported Danielle and Bobby were even holding hands as they arrived at the event together, but apparently quickly moved away from each other once they spotted the cameras.
"Bobby and Danielle were holding hands when they first turned up at the NTAs," an onlooker has claimed.
"They looked really sweet together and Bobby was clearly taking really good care of Danielle. He was being really protective and held her hand as they walked along."
Speaking to The Sun, they added: "As they got closer they stopped holding hands and moved away from each other."
Speculation Bobby – who was linked to another EastEnders co-star last month – and Danielle have struck up a romance comes just months on Jade's eldest son splitting from his model girlfriend Liberty Love, 22, in July this year – weeks after the pair went public with their relationship.
The former couple – who went public with their romance in May – unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed any pictures of themselves together from their profiles ahead of Bobby first EastEnders scenes airing.
Liberty, who is the daughter of director and DJ Don Letts, has also failed to publicly congratulate Bobby on his impressive career news around the time of split rumours, in the wake of his huge EastEnders gig being announced.
Insiders told The Sun in July that the young couple ended their relationship just two months on from making their red carpet debut as a couple together.
Speaking about joining the EastEnders cast as Freddie in July, Bobby said: "I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders - so far it’s been perfect. Everybody has been so beautiful to me and made settling in easier than I could’ve hoped.
"Stepping into the acting world has always been a vision of mine and doing that with EastEnders as a Slater is a blessing, I'm very grateful. Loving every minute of Freddie so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in Walford."
