Continuing to praise her professional dance partner, Ellie gushed: “Vito is a great teacher.
“Sometimes I don’t believe in myself and he believes in me, which is really, really nice.”
Ellie went on to admit she had previously spent years struggling with body confidence issues, due to growing up in the public eye as schoolgirl Faye Windass on the cobbles.
Fortunately, Strictly and her partnership with Vito has allowed her confidence to grow.
Ellie has also noticed her body is changing and becoming more toned from spending endless hours in dance training every day.
Vito has also never been short of compliments when he speaks about Ellie, writing on social media: “And to you my Lulu… I am so proud of you and you know how much I believe in you.
“Just keep working hard as you are already doing every day. You are doing great baby. Have a good rest tonight and make sure you eat properly. See you tomorrow for another beautiful day together.”
Ellie then replied to his post with several love heart emojis, while adding: “Love you love you love you.”
Strictly Come Dancing airs tonight at 7.05pm on BBC One.
