Strictly Come Dancing champion Ellie Leach failed to address the recent scandal surrounding the show as she focused on her positive experience.
Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach appeared to swerve any allegations surrounding hit show Striclty Come Dancing as she focused on the brilliant experience she had.
Appearing on ITV’s Loose Women, the 23-year-old, who was crowned the winner of Strictly last year alongside dancer Vito Coppola spoke openly to the panel about her life has been since her win.
But while discussing what she’s been up to presenter Ruth Langsford dug a bit deeper as she questioned Ellie on the latest Strictly scanda.
The hit BBC dance show has faced negativity recently after actress Amanda Abbington accused her former dance partner Giovanni Pernice of “cruel and mean” behavior during training.
Following Giovanni’s shocking decision to step down, other allegations about the behaviour from professional dancers came to light which also led Graziano Di Prima to quit the show.
Asking Ellie her thoughts on the recent headlines, Ruth said: “You know these allegations of some of the participants saying they were treated unfairly or bullied. What was your experience of that, what do you make of things being talked about at the moment.
Keeping it positive while sharing how her time on Strictly went, Ellie replied: “I think that I can only speak from my experience and I had the most amazing time. Vito was the most incredible partner and teacher.”
She added: “We will be friends forever. He helped me through a journey that was so difficult that I think for me, I had no confidence when I started Strictly and he really helped me build on that.
“He genuinely made me the person that I am today and I’m so lucky to have had that relationship with him. And the experience that I had was incredible.”

Last month, it was revealed that Graziano was not a part of this year’s line. A BBC spokesperson confirmed that Di Prima was, “no longer a part of the line-up of professional dancers for the upcoming series”.
The spokesperson added: “While we would never comment on individual cases, it is well-known that the BBC has established a robust duty of care procedures, and if issues are raised we will always take them seriously and act swiftly as appropriate.”
Strictly Come Dancing winner Ellie Leach may have avoided discussing the recent scandal plaguing the show, but her positive experience shines through.
The former Coronation Street star opened up about her incredible journey on the hit dance show during an appearance on ITV’s Loose Women.
Despite host Ruth Langsford’s attempt to bring up the recent controversy surrounding the show, Ellie remained focused on the amazing time she had with her dance partner Vito Coppola.
Reflecting on her time on Strictly, Ellie emphasized the bond she formed with Vito and how he helped her grow and gain confidence throughout the competition. She credited him for shaping her into the person she is today and expressed gratitude for the unforgettable experience.
As allegations of misconduct and unfair treatment continue to surface, Ellie’s positive outlook serves as a breath of fresh air. While some professional dancers have chosen to part ways with the show amid the controversy, Ellie’s story highlights the transformative power of the Strictly Come Dancing experience.
Despite the absence of Graziano Di Prima from this year’s lineup, the BBC has reassured fans that they have robust duty of care procedures in place to address any issues that may arise.
