It comes after Ellie Leach, who played Coronation Street’s Faye Windass for 12 years, told how she was heading on an overseas trips – yet was “unemployed.”
Strictly’s 2023 Glitterball trophy holder, who scooped the iconic TV show title with professional Vito Coppola, recently posted a snap to her Instagram account of her pal Hannah working on a laptop.
Ellie, 23, wrote in the caption: “Working lunch (we are booking a holiday.)”
The Manchester lass added: “She’s a student and I’m unemployed.”
In her next slide, she told her followers: “Selling some bits on my Vinted if anyone fancied having a look.
“This picture has no relevance I just looked cute in the Avanti West Coast toilets.”
Bargain-hunters can pick up black PLT heels for just £8 or a green Little Mistress bodycon for £15.
Yet all products will be open to offers, too, with extra chance to save pennies.
The actress revealed last December that she was out of a job after her role as Miss Scarlett in the touring production of Cluedo 2 came to an end in November.
The actress then updated her followers at the end of last month and revealed that she is still yet to find a new job.
SOAP STRUGGLES
Ellie previously revealed the “very hard” struggles of growing up with soap fame.
Speaking to The Sun and other press in 2023, Ellie opened up about her time in the Manchester-based soap as “the best years” of her life.
“It’s been the best experience. I can’t thank everyone here enough. Everyone’s always made me feel so welcome.
“It’s just been so lovely. I’ve honestly loved it. It’s been the best years of my life.”
But while she kept a positive memory of her stint in Corrie, she admitted that her years on the soap had their scary moments, particularly as growing up in the public eye made her an easy target for criticism.
“It’s very scary”, Ellie revealed, “don’t get me wrong, I’ve met some amazing people through this job.
“I would never have had the opportunities that I’ve had if it weren’t for Coronation Street.
“But it’s hard, being young.”
While they rarely shared scenes together, Ellie was bolstered by the presence of her cousin, former Sophie Webster actress Brooke Vincent.
“She wasn’t that much older than me but she did look after me”, Ellie remembered.
“I felt so much more comfortable knowing she was around, even if I didn’t work with her that much at the start.”
Brooke Vincent left the soap in 2019 after fifteen years just as she was about to give birth to her first son, Mexx.
