Privacy NoticeA Strictly Come Dancing star has reportedly split from their boyfriend. Tillie Amartey, 21, who appeared in the Strictly Christmas special last year, was dating rapper Bugzy Malone, 33 after a whirlwind romance. The pair appeared together at last month’s Royal Ascot, but sources say the relationship has now ‘fizzled out’. OK! has approached representatives for Tillie and Bugzy for comment.
