Coronation Street's Ellie Leach stuns with sixties-inspired look after fangirling over famous singer

Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach has been flooded with compliments as she showed off her latest sixties-inspired look. The actress, who played Faye Windass in the ITV soap, underwent a hair change after leaving the show after more than 12 years.

Back in April, Ellie, from Bury, looked a world away from the troubles on the famous street as she smiled serenely with a fresh new do in a picture shared on her Instagram. Her brunette tresses have been transformed with a lighter shade for the spring and cut into glossy layers with a soft fringe.

Her now-former Corrie co-star Paddy Bever, who plays Max Turner, exclaimed "Fringe! obsessed! x" And her fellow ex-Corrie favourite cousin Brooke Vincent, who played Sophie Webster, replied with a love-heart eyes emoji. "The hair," remarked Catherine Tyldesley who played Eve Price in the ITV soap.

And following her on-screen exit, Ellie has been flaunting her fresh hairdo during various outings which included attending the St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust's Annual Staff Awards 2023.

She shared a picture of her table setting and said: "One of the best nights of the year @sthknhs," in a post on her Instagram Story before later sharing how she was fangirling over a famous singer.

Following up on her post, former soap star Ellie shared a video of Peter Andre performing on stage as the awards bash's musical entertainment. "Peter Andre!!!!!" she excitedly typed alongside the video of the Mysterious Girl hitmaker on stage. In another video, she said: "@petecityprice and Peter Andre in the same room?????" referring to the Liverpool radio presenter.

"Dreams - made," she added. And Ellie proved herself to be quite the fan of Peter as she then shared a selfie of her appearing to be giddy while covering her face with her hand. "Peter Andre, she wrote alongside the snap with a double pink heart emoji.

Ellie has since returned to Instagram to share a look at her outfit for the occasion and it's fair to say she looked gorgeous. She opted for a psychedelic orange and pink dress that boasted oversized bell sleeves. She paired the look with some pink platform heels and a personalised bag that matched her dress and had been branded with her name.
