Seen a few posts on here saying that it's leaving Elstree. Is this true?

I very much doubt it seeing as it would be a move not without considerable cost at a time when budgets are tight. And there is nothing on any BBC press site about it.

Anyway, which posts seemed to imply this then?

Back in 2010, the BBC signed a 4-year deal to produce EE there, and the site is owned and run by BBC Studios & Post production 9which will also house a number of other BBC shows over the next two years due to the redevelopment of Television Centre). So unless BBC S&PP are looking to sell Elstree (unlikely I would have thought seeing as studio space is being lost anyway with a number of studios in TVC closing and not reopening), I can't see a reason for EE to move out next year (especially as the sets have now been rebuilt for HD)

There was, I recall, some press chatter about EE moving to Salford, but this was firmly quashed by the BBC:
