Ellie Leach breaks down in tears on Drama Queens over cheating ex – and says she ‘gave him everything’
FORMER Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach was left in tears as she spoke about her cheating ex on Drama Queens.
The 22-year-old star was left sobbing into her mum’s arms as she spoke about her former relationship with Reagan Pettman.
Reagan broke the starlet’s heart when he had a drunken snog with another woman in a nightclub and opened up on his betrayal in an exclusive interview with The Sun earlier this year.
Ellie discussed the ending of their relationship with her mum, Karen, on the new ITVBe show following the real lives of soap stars away from their acting roles.
As the Strictly Come Dancing champ looked back at her former romance she quickly began to get choked up.
Ellie began to say: “It’s weird because it, um…”
Her face crumbled as her mum moved over to give her a hug as she told her: “Don’t cry.”
The former Corrie star then told the cameras: “I can truly, truly say that I gave someone everything.
“If that’s not enough, then, it’s not enough.
“But I’m sure it will be enough for somebody else.”
It is the first time that Ellie has spoken out on her love life after her romance with Reagan came to an end and she was linked to her Strictly co-star Bobby Brazier.
Reagan spoke to The Sun on Sunday earlier this year as he came clean about the ending of his and Ellie’s relationship.
He said: “It sounds cliché but I was really drunk and it all happened at once.
“I knew what I had done was wrong and instantly regretted it.
“I want to rebuild the trust again and for her to be back in my life.”
