She's grown up in front of viewers' eyes but Ellie Leach is set to say goodbye to Coronation Street as Faye Windass leaves Weatherfield. The actress has spent more than 12 years in the ITV soap and has tackled many harrowing storylines including her character falling pregnant when she was 12.
Then in 2020, Faye was sexually assaulted by evil Ray Crosby and last year she went to prison for attacking Adam Barlow in a case of mistaken identity thinking that he was her sleazy boss. And last year, Faye was back at the centre of the Corrie drama after she knocked down an elderly man called Ted while on a driving lesson with Emma Brooker, who was still tipsy from New Year's Eve.
The girls took the pensioner home after he insisted that he was fine, but when they later went to check on him they found him dead in his armchair. And when a police investigation ensued, Faye had to confess to her boyfriend Craig Tinker who briefly left the police force as he tampered with evidence to keep her secret.
