Ellie Leach was recently crowned the winner of the latest season of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, but within weeks of taking home the Glitterball Trophy, disaster struck. The delicate plastic writing of the replica trophy had snapped off and Ellie was left 'devastated'.
However, Ellie's handy dad was able to come to the rescue and fixed the trophy. A source close to the former Coronation Street actress said, “Ellie was gutted that she hasn’t been able to show off her trophy after so many of her friends are desperate to hold it. Luckily Ellie’s dad Al is good at fixing things, so she gave it to him to put back together. It is her prized possession, and she can’t wait to put it up in the house.”
Before entering the show, Ellie had very little self-confidence or self-belief. “I had no self-confidence or self-belief, and I was completely a glass half empty type of person,” she said. But she soon found out that Strictly Come Dancing had changed her life for the better.
Ellie said, “Signing up for Strictly, I knew it was going to be hard, I didn’t know how hard it would be. I knew I was going to have fun, I didn’t know just how much fun I would have. It changed my life. I’m now a yes person. This experience has taught me that giving your best is all you can ask of yourself, worrying about things that are out of your control isn’t going to stop them from happening. I’m now stronger, more resilient and more confident.”
