Ellie, who is well-known for her role as Faye on Coronation Street, recently opened up about how much she misses being on the popular ITV soap. After joining the show in 2011 as the foster daughter of Anna and Eddie Windass, she spent 12 years on the show and was involved in some of its most high-profile storylines. From teenage pregnancy to discovering her estranged father Tim Metcalfe's identity, Ellie's character went through a lot before eventually leaving the show last year. Her final storyline saw Faye reconnecting with her daughter Miley and moving to Slough.
Since her departure from Coronation Street, Ellie has been busy with new projects. She even won the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside her professional partner Vito Coppola. Currently, her journey beyond soapland is being documented in the ITVBe series Drama Queens. The show follows Ellie as she takes on a new role in the nationwide tour of Cluedo 2. Alongside Ellie, other former Corrie stars such as Brooke Vincent, Lucy Fallon, and Bethany Platt are also featured in the series.
In a recent episode of Drama Queens, Brooke hosted a wellness event in Manchester to promote her stationary company. She invited several of her former co-stars to the event, including Ellie and Lucy. It was a reunion for the Corrie cast, and Ellie couldn't help but comment on how great it was to see everyone again. "I can't believe how many from Corrie are here," said Lucy, to which Ellie replied, "It's so nice though because I haven't really seen anyone since I left. It's almost been a year."
Lucy then asked Ellie if she missed being on the show when she's with everyone. Ellie admitted that she will always miss being on Coronation Street because it was a big part of her life. "But I didn't die, so I could always go back," she joked. In recent news, Lucy has returned to the show as her character Bethany Platt.
In the first episode of Drama Queens, Ellie also opened up about the difficulties of living in the public eye. She talked about the constant scrutiny and rumors surrounding her personal life, including her relationships. Despite the rumors, Ellie clarified that she is not in a relationship with her Strictly partner Vito and that it's upsetting when people believe false information. "It's upsetting that people believe what they read. Nine times out of ten, it isn't true," she told her mom Karen.
Drama Queens continues next Wednesday on ITVBe and ITVX. If you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, you can share them by emailing us. We'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below to join the community and stay updated on all things soaps on our homepage.
