Ellie Leach lands new TV role in Malta

A former star of Coronation Street, Ellie Leach, has landed a new TV role after facing a period of unemployment. Ellie, who played Faye Windass from 2011 to 2023, is excited about her reunion with former co-stars Catherine Tydesley and Shayne Ward as they collaborate on a new Channel 5 show. Ellie, 24, had expressed feelings of being "gutted" when she left Coronation Street almost two years ago. At that time, she was looking forward to exploring other acting opportunities. Recently, she shared a photo with her co-stars while filming in Malta, sparking speculation about her new role. While nothing has been officially announced about her future project, the photos show Ellie enjoying her time on set. She had previously opened up about the challenges of being unemployed and had even started selling clothes online to make ends meet. In the broader context of Coronation Street, the show is experiencing budget cuts, resulting in several cast exits. Notable characters, including Craig Tinker and Eileen Grimshaw, will be leaving the soap. As the show faces these changes, fans are hopeful for Ellie's new acting journey.
