Ellie Leach was left in tears after discovering her ex-boyfriend had spoken to the press about their relationship. The Coronation Street actress, who is currently on the Strictly Come Dancing tour, opened up about the situation during the first episode of ITV's new reality show, Drama Queens. The series follows the lives of several soap stars, including Ellie, Lucy Fallon and Rita Simons.
During a catch-up with her mum in Liverpool, Ellie revealed her ex had sold a story about their relationship to a newspaper. Reading an email from her agent, Ellie said: "Hi, hope you are well, just wanted to know that Ellie Leach's ex has chatted to us. He's really nice about her, he also admits to cheating on her." Visibly upset, Ellie told her mum: "It was just a shock, I was like what.
It's weird because it, erm." Ellie then began to cry, prompting her mum to comfort her. Ellie continued: "That article in particular kind of felt like all your dirty laundry is just like available for everyone to see. It's no reflection of who you are but it still feels embarrassing.
It still feels like you've done something wrong when you haven't." She continued: "It just feels like wherever you go everyone's talking about you. I can truly truly say that I gave someone everything. And if that's not enough then, it's not enough.
But I'm sure it'll be enough for somebody else.” Her mum, Karen, comforted her by saying: "Your family and friends adore you for who you are and no one else matters. No one else matters." Ellie and her ex-boyfriend Reagan Pettman called it quits in May last year. However, he later confessed to The Sun on Sunday that a drunken kiss led to the downfall of their relationship.
