Coronation street star basks in victory, tipped for future BBC show

In a jubilant scene, Ellie Leach, the 22-year-old Coronation Street actress, embraced her Glitterball Trophy with infectious joy, leading the stars of Strictly Come Dancing as they departed the final afterparty.

The elated Corrie star, accompanied by her supportive family, ensured her Glitterball Trophy was never out of sight, holding it close as she beamed from ear to ear on her journey home.

The celebratory moment marked the culmination of a memorable night where Ellie, alongside her professional partner Vito Coppola, secured victory, outshining fellow finalists Bobby Brazier and Layton Williams.

As Layton covered his face while exiting the post-show celebrations, and Bobby left with his brother Freddie, the spotlight remained on Ellie, who radiated happiness throughout the evening.

In a stunning turnaround, Dianne Buswell, partnered with Bobby Brazier, may not have clinched the Glitterball, but she found solace in the company of her supportive partner Joe Sugg as they left the party together.

The judges, Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood, seemed to carry the party spirit with them as they left Elstree studios, flashing peace signs and megawatt smiles, signaling the start of their Christmas break.

Motsi Mabuse, lugging a cart laden with outfits, bags, and presents, maintained her glamorous appearance even as she made her way to a waiting car.

As the Strictly stars departed, anticipation for Ellie Leach’s future soared. Tipped to host a significant BBC show, Ellie, who has become a household name at the age of 22, is anticipated to bring her vibrant energy to captivate a younger demographic.

Brand and culture expert Nick Ede shared insights, stating, “Ellie’s become a household name, and the BBC won’t want to let her go, so I can imagine a show like Morning Live will snap her up to get the younger demographic watching, as she’s only 22. She’s full of life and vibrancy, which makes her a star talent.”

With her dazzling triumph on Strictly Come Dancing, Ellie Leach’s future appears poised for even greater heights, promising a stellar journey beyond the dancefloor.
