The actress played Faye Windass on Coronation Street for more than 12 years from 2011 and had been involved in a number of high profile storylines, including Faye’s teenage pregnancy following a secret relationship with classmate Jackson Hodge.
Speaking about her time on Coronation Street, Faye star Ellie previously told The Mirror: “It is crazy to think it is 10 years.
“It has gone so fast but I also feel like I have been there my whole life.
“For what time I can remember, Corrie has been my life. As a child, you just can’t believe it. You don’t really know at that age what is happening. Really surreal.”

She added: “I definitely didn’t imagine I would still be here 10 years later. I am the type who doesn’t like to think too far into the future. I hope I am there forever.”
However fans were left shocked on Wednesday (May 24, 2023) when Ellie’s character Faye departed the cobbles for good as she ended her relationship with fiancé Craig Tinker.
The character chose to leave Weatherfield and move to Slough to be with ex-flame Jackson and their daughter Miley in an emotional exit for the character.
Reflecting on her exit, Ellie told press: “It was very, very emotional as obviously Faye is leaving the Street after 12 years, but it’s me leaving the Street after 12 years as well.
“The saddest part is where she’s in the taxi and we just see Craig on his own walking down the street and she’s like stop the car, she gets out and says, ‘I’ll always love you, I always have and I always will’.
“I think it was just so emotional and you do see there’s two people here who do love each other, but there are so many other factors, love isn’t always enough and I think you can see that in that last scene.”
