Strictly star Tillie Amartey, 21, splits from rapper Bugzy Malone, 33, after whirlwind romance
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Tillie Amartey has split from UK rapper Bugzy Malone after a whirlwind romance.
The couple made their first public appearance together at The Royal Ascot last month but has now “fizzled out”.
The actress, 21, who starred on Strictly’s Christmas special last year, posed with the rapper at the racing event.
Their brief relationship set tongues wagging due to their age gap, with Tillie being twelve years younger than Bugzy who is 33 years old.
And though the couple’s romance was short but sweet The Sun has learned they ended it on good terms.
A source said: “Tillie and Bugzy had a very brief romance at the start of the summer. He really wooed her and treated her like a princess.
“Their age gap wasn’t really an issue – Tillie is very mature but she’s also super focused on her work.
“They are both really busy and it fizzled out, Tillie is currently living it up in Cannes with a friend.
“There are no hard feelings but she is very much single now.”
Tillie shot to stardom this year when she appeared in the revived edition of hit BBC drama Waterloo Road playing Stacey ‘Stace’ Neville.
Bugzy has also tried his hand at acting appearing in the 2019 film The Gentlemen alongside A-listers Matthew McConaughey and Colin Farrell.
Tillie previously dated EastEnders and Strictly star Bobby Brazier, 21, but they called it quits in March 2022.
In 2023 Bugzy shut down rumours he was romantically involved with Love Island star Gemma Owen who was 19 at the time.
Taking to Instagram, he said: “Michael Owen, your daughter looks lovely, but 19 just isn’t my cup of tea or coffee.”
This baffled fans when his relationship with Tillie was revealed as the actress had only just turned 21 when they got together.
