Ellie was born on 15 October 2000. That makes her a Libra. Libras are known for balance—and boy, does she have it. She’s also a millennial-zoomer hybrid. A ‘Zillennial’, if you will.
At 23, she’s one of the younger contestants this season. But don’t let that fool you. She’s got the poise of someone who’s been sipping tea with the Queen for decades.
Why Does Everyone Ask?
Because age is weird on Strictly. You’ve got 70-year-olds doing sambas and 20-somethings looking like they’ve been forged by gods. Ellie fits that second category perfectly.
People also ask because she used to play Faye Windass on Coronation Street. She started that role when she was just 10 years old. That’s right—she’s been a pro actress since primary school.
So when you see her glide across the dance floor, you’re watching a childhood star turn into a glittering adult. It’s basically a soap opera storyline—but real.
