Strictly’s Ellie Leach reveals gruesome foot injury ahead of Movie Week
STRICTLY star Ellie Leach has revealed a very gruesome foot injury ahead of Movie Week.
The Coronation Street actress, 22, has been pushing herself to the limit in training alongside professional dancer Vito Coppola, 31.
Appearing on tonight’s It Takes Two, Ellie talked to host Janette Manrara about her severely blistered toes.
The star’s digits are racked with painful-looking blisters that left Janette exclaiming: “Look at your poor feet! How are you coping?”
A cheerful Ellie told how Vito is “proud” of her blisters.
She then said: “I’ve been putting plasters on for three weeks and then the past two days I’ve not put plasters on. I’m growing.”
Meanwhile, the pairing fuelled romance rumours earlier this week following a beach date.
Ellie took to Instagram to share snaps and said they were “having the time of our lives”.
In one picture, Ellie was all smiles as she relaxed on a sun lounger, while in another Vita was buried under the sand.
Commenting on her post, one fan said: “You were absolutely brilliant, you got two out of my three votes on Saturday night. Just love you two together.”
A second wrote: “You and Vito are my favourite couple. Just gorgeous together and you are a fabulous dancer.”
“I’m really shipping you guys,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “You did great, you guys are one of my favourites.”
