manchestereveningnews.co.ukFormer Coronation Street star Ellie Leach has revealed her connection to one of her new Strictly Come Dancing competitors goes back a long way.
The actress is currently hard at work in training for the BBC One dance contest after signing up for the 2023 run. Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will return when the new season hits screens this Saturday, September 16, alongside judges Anton, Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse.
And like the previous series, the first episode of the hit competition show will see the 15 brand new celebrities welcomed to the Strictly ballroom for the first time.
