After spending over a decade on Coronation Street, Ellie Leach is clearly embracing life away from Weatherfield in style. The former Faye Windass actress recently gave fans a look into her current life through a string of Instagram photos, and from glamorous Paris moments to cosy hotel snaps and nights out with friends, Ellie’s latest update showed exactly how she has been enjoying this new chapter.
Ellie Leach Shares Stylish Life Update After Coronation Street Exit
Ellie played Faye Windass on Coronation Street for 12 years between 2011 and 2023. She joined the ITV soap when she was only 10 years old, and over the years, her character became part of several major storylines including teenage pregnancy, early menopause, and even a prison sentence.
Back in July 2023, Ellie officially left the soap to explore new opportunities outside Weatherfield. Since then, fans have continued following her journey closely, especially through her social media updates where she often shares glimpses into her personal life and travels.
Now, Ellie has taken to Instagram once again and shared a collection of pictures showing exactly what life looks like for her right now. The actress first posted a stunning snap wearing a black-and-white polka dot blazer, looking both chic and adorable as she posed confidently for the camera.
She then shared a more casual moment from a grocery shopping trip. Alongside the shopping essentials, summer flowers could also be seen in the snap, giving the whole update a bright seasonal feel and adding a relaxed summer vibe to her post collection.

Much of Ellie’s latest Instagram update focused on her Paris getaway. The actress posted several beautiful pictures from the French capital, including one where she posed alongside a friend while exploring the city together.
Another Paris snap showed Ellie wearing a pink cropped shirt with blue denim jeans while standing on a picture-perfect street lined with colourful houses. The actress continued serving fashion inspiration throughout the trip, later sharing another photo in a yellow T-shirt and blue denim while posing in front of the famous Paris clock tower.
Ellie also gave followers a glimpse into her evenings out during the trip. One picture showed her enjoying fish at a Chinese restaurant, while another series of snaps captured her spending time with friends and enjoying drinks together. She even shared aesthetic photos from inside a stylish bar, including a shot of the bar section itself before posting a cosy picture of herself sitting in the corner with a drink in her hand.
The actress balanced the lively nights with plenty of relaxing moments too. Ellie shared a peaceful picture of her hotel room with sunshine pouring through the windows and the bed perfectly made up. Later, she posted a calm snap wearing a white bathrobe, seemingly after enjoying a spa session or some downtime during the holiday.
