BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s Ellie Leach hit with pregnancy speculation as she gives clear response

Ellie Leach has found herself being hit with pregnancy suspicion and was quick to respond. The actress has recently been enjoying a well-deserved break after a busy first half of 2024.

Ellie, 23, kicked off the year as the reigning Strictly Come Dancing champion after lifting the coveted Glitterball trophy back in December with dance partner Vito Coppola.

The pair later joined a number of their co-stars on the Strictly Come Dancing Live 2024 tour which traveled to arenas across the country before the dance partners and friends went their separate ways.

It was then that Ellie landed her first stage role in the play Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter. She took over the role of Miss Scarlett from fellow former Corrie star Helen Flanagan at the eleventh hour and hit the ground running following the end of the Strictly tour in February.

But last month, Ellie revealed she was taking a bit of a break as she shared a selfie to her Instagram Story while on the train heading back home, somewhere she has only been able to visit occasionally since her whirlwind dancing journey.

As she smiled at the camera, she wrote to her fans and followers: “Finished for the summmerrrrrr.” She added: “132 shows complete. See you in September @cluedostageplay.”

Ellie has since been sharing some updates from her trip abroad and in her latest post, the former Coronation Street star was all smiles as she headed out for dinner during her latest night away from the UK.

But while she was flooded with compliments on the post, Ellie was also hit with an unexpected comment. She screenshotted one of the messages and sharing it alongside ella’s post on her ella’s Instagram Story on Friday (August 2), it read: “You look pregnant!”

In response, the former Coronation Street star, who shot to fame playing Faye Windass in the ITV soap, said: “That’s what two weeks of eating ham and cheese toasties on the balcony will do to you babes.”

Away from the uncalled for comment, others were quick to flood Ellie with positive messages. @_strictlyella_x said: “Unreal.” @janey.babe commented: “Looking gorgeous sweetheart.” @emnaylor_ wrote: “What a vision.” @hattieelwes replied: “Summer stunner.” @beritmargareth posted: “You are absolutely stunning Ellie!!!” @allthingskps_ echoed: “Absolutely stunning.” @patmason656 added: “So beautiful.”
