Bobby replied: "Probably my ex-girlfriend months ago. I'm a nice person." When asked why the couple had gone their separate ways, Bobby responded: "It didn't match my priorities."

And then the week before, the person that I shared a bed with, I turned and said: 'This is the American Smooth'."
One of the women Bobby was linked to was dance partner Dianne Buswell, even though she is in a relationship with Joe Sugg. Following what appeared to be a near-kiss following their Argentine Tango, the dancer clarified on Good Morning Britain: "There's nothing untoward going on here, it's just the dancing."
