'I'm counting down the minutes!'
The gold-medal winning athlete is the sixth celebrity contestant to be announced. She'll hit the dance floor with Loose Women star Kaye Adams and Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh.
A source close to the 27 year old The Sun: “Ellie is a real Strictly fan. She has always been conscious of how important it is to see disability on TV, and she is keen to be part of that and inspire as many people as possible.” Among the celebrities announced so far is Richie Anderson, whose voice you’ll hear on Zoe Ball’s Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2.
