Strictly Come Dancing winner and Coronation Street star Ellie Leach has opened up about her struggle with self-confidence amid fears for the future in the latest episode of ITV reality show Drama Queens.
Drama Queens follows the lives of some of the nation’s favourite soap stars, and this episode gave viewers an insight into rehearsals for Ellie’s play, Cluedo 2.
Ellie joined the cast as Miss Scarlett, taking over the role from fellow Corrie alumni Helen Flanagan, and explained how she had joined rehearsals a week later than everyone else because of her commitments to the Strictly Tour.
However, Ellie candidly revealed that she hadn’t found the process easy, and was struggling to have confidence in herself and her abilities.

‘Today we’ve been working on one scene in particular that maybe doesn’t so much feel like that. And it does make me think, “Can I do it?” And it does make me question myself.’
Since leaving Coronation Street, where she played Faye Windass for 12 years, Ellie’s career has gone from strength to strength, with the actress winning the 21st series of Strictly alongside partner Vito Coppola.
