Strictly Come Dancing's Ellie Leach has shared an empowering message about self confidence as she admitted to being "so embarrassed" of her appearance in the past.
The former Coronation Street star, 22, posted on her Instagram Stories to show fans some of the skin problems she had been suffering with over the past few weeks as a contestant on Strictly. Ellie shared a no makeup selfie showing the blemishes on her face and in a candid caption, told fans that she had long struggled with problem skin but that she had learned to love the way she looks.
She wrote: "Good morning everyone, my skin is seriously hating on me right now!!! "I think it's a mixture of things, sweating everyday dancing, wearing more make-up than usual, weather change, all that jazz!!!! "But I'm trying my best to just embrace it! I used to be so embarrassed about my skin when I was younger, I would always get so anxious to go anywhere because I felt so awful about it but I'm slowly starting to realise that it's NORMAL!!!!!!!! and everyone's skin is different so if you're feeling the same as me at the minute then you're not on your own!" Ellie dances with Vito Coppola on the BBC One show and they are the current bookies' favourites to win the series, which heads into its quarter finals with musicals week on Saturday. She and Vito, who are rumoured to have found romance off the dancefloor, will perform a Quickstep inspired by the musical Beauty and the Beast this weekend.
After their Argentine Tango last week, Vito shared his thoughts about the routine on Instagram and told how Ellie had embodied a character that they called Lulu. He wrote: "I am so so proud of you @ellielouiseleach and the woman you are becoming.
