ITV Corrie's Ellie Leach blushing over co-star's compliment as she shows off stunning look at the races

Glam Corrie star Ellie Leach wowed as she shared a collection of photos from a day out at the races. Ellie, who plays Faye Windass in the ITV soap, looked a world away from the cobbles in a sunshine yellow double breasted blazer and matching wide-legged trousers by Forever Unique.

Faye was a guest of The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Seema Malhotra's fashion brand as she attended the Haydock Races' ladies day. She wowed in her summery suit with hot pink accessories and completed the smart look with Hollywood-style wavy tresses, futtery lashes and a glowy makeup palette.

The compliments came pouring in from her Instagram followers over her chic look with share1102 gasping: "Yellow looks so perfect on you!!!" And leahparker_said: "Beautiful and yellow suits you."

The show's former Bethany Platt actress Lucy Fallon, who was also a guest at the event, said: "Oh a stunner xx" And her cousin Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster in Corrie, responded with a stream of love-heart eyes emojis.

Ellie, 21, from Bury was blushing as co-star Paddy Bever, who plays Max Turner in the soap told her with a flame emoj: "Ur a model." "Makin me blush x" she replied. Lucy, who played Bethany Platt from 2015 to 2020, ramped up the glam in a green corset dress at the Betfred Rose Of Lancaster Stakes Ladies Day.

They were also joined by Faye Brookes, who played Kate Connor,the daughter of Johnny Connor in the soap from 2015 to 2019, looking pretty in pink in a bow-detail dress. And Charlotte Jordan, who joined the soap as feisty Daisy Midgeley the stepdaughter of Rovers Return landlady Jenny Connor in November 2020, wowed in a black blazer dress.

"Girlies," Lucy wrote as she posted a snap of herself with Ellie and Charlotte on Instagram. Ellie has played Faye for 11 years. Her character was diagnosed with early menopause earlier this year following a false positive pregnancy test.

Despite her boyfriend Craig Tinker's mum Beth encouraging him to break up with her due to the fact that she can no longer have children, he has stayed by her side through this trying time for the couple. Her stepmum Sally Metcalfe suggested she should consider HRT, but she’s not keen.

This week she tells Beth and Sally that Craig has been researching the menopause obsessively and is now monitoring nutrition. Craig takes Faye for a meal to Speed Daal but produces a chart he’s made, listing beneficial foods so that they can check the menu.

And next week there's drama as Craig asks her boss Carla Connor not to put Faye under pressure at work and Faye tears a strip off Craig for humiliating her. Craig apologises to Faye for doing her head in but when he presents her with a special nightie designed to keep her cool and improve her sleep, she’s distraught. Craig asks Faye if he should move back to his mum’s. When she tells him to do as he pleases, Craig starts to pack.
