The actress has now shared some tips with the new cast, hoping that her talents will be able to impress audiences.
Ellie said, “It’s amazing how quickly the experience goes by.
Enjoy every second. You never know when you’re going to die.
Days fly by so quickly that you don’t even realize it.
She said: “My top tip is to apply blister plasters frequently.
Even if you are not dancing, try to keep your shoes on. Sores are caused by this.
You should take care of your health. On long training sessions, keep hydrated. Also take some snacks. Also, drink lots of caffeine. Me and Nikita were double expressos.

Ellie said, “It is so sad that it’s over for us.”
The new cast announcement and the start of a new season are particularly exciting.

I’m hoping Nikita will win.

The 28-year-old worked with the local community and Mars team learning and getting stuck in with the coral restoration process from building and coating reef stars to planting and tying them together underwater.
