Grab your dancing shoes, dust off your glitter balls and start practising the tango - Strictly Come Dancing 2023 is finally here.
This year's line-up includes a whole host of famous faces, including Coronation Street's very own Ellie Leach, best known for her iconic character Faye Windass.
The 22-year-old appeared on the cobble streets between 2011 and 2023 and starred in some unforgettable storylines, such as being fostered by Anna and Eddie Windass and falling pregnant at 13. But now the star is ready to swap her acting role for a dancing one and is set to waltz across the floor and give her best salsa moves. One thing Faye is most looking forward to though is the 'fitness' side of the competition and admitted her goal is to actually enjoy the routines given to her.
And, of course, no Strictly show is without the glitz and game, something the actress also revealed she's looking forward to. Why do you want to take part in the show this year? Well, I've always wanted to do Strictly, always! Ever since I was younger, I've been obsessed with dancing and watching dancing. I used to do tap and ballet when I was younger, but I'm not trained.
I think just coming out of Coronation Street, it's amazing to have a new experience and do something that I have never done before. What do you think will be the biggest challenge? I think for me maybe the live aspect just because I've never done that before. Obviously, when I did Coronation Street its pre- recorded and I think the live situation is a bit scary, but I'm excited.
