Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Leach found fame on Coronation Street, as did her older cousin, actress Brooke Vincent. Let's take a look into their close bond...
Ellie Leach has been stunning the judges on Strictly Come Dancing so far, and it looks like she and partner Vito Coppola could be strong contenders for the Glitterball trophy.
Ellie found fame on Coronation Street when she was just 10 years old and she remained on the ITV soap up until earlier this year, when she decided to leave her role as Faye Windass in a bid to pursue other opportunities. Mum-of-two Brooke took on the role in 2004 and remained a Corrie regular up until 2019, when she exited the show to have her first child with footballer boyfriend Kean Bryan. The couple are parents to sons Mexx and Monroe.
Ellie has even referred to herself as Brooke's "mini-me" in the past. In a sweet post to mark Brooke's 30th birthday last year, the Faye Windass star penned: "All I’ve wanted to do since I was younger is be like you. To dress like you, to have my hair the way you have yours, to wear them 7 inch platform heels you wore, which I still have no idea how, but most of all to be the kind of person you are.
