Strictly star Ellie Leach looked cosy and casual as she headed back to her London hotel post dress rehearsal on Friday evening.
The former Coronation Street star looked as though she had received her weekly spray tan as she was positively glowing while beaming in snaps.
The actress, 22, looked comfortable in an oversized black graphic T-shirt and loose black trousers.
Hydrating after a full day of training the star sipped on a can of Tango as she carried her essentials in her tote bag and gave her feet a break in some Birkenstock loafers.
Fellow soap star Adam Thomas was also seen with a grin on his face, despite reportedly being ‘banned’ from this week’s rehearsals after a flu outbreak in the cast.

The Waterloo Road star opted for a simple white T-shirt and black jogging bottoms as he donned a green beanie hat and carried his black leather jacket.
Adam appeared to be in great spirits and had seemingly recovered after feeling poorly earlier in the week.
He was forced to miss training in order not to spread his bug to others or his partner Luba Mushtuk who he dances close to.
Layton Williams was also snapped with a wide grin on his face as he cut a stylish figure in a black padded gilet and zebra print trousers.
The couples were advised to prioritise their health this week as a source has revealed bosses are worried the illness could rapidly spread through the stars which would be a ‘nightmare’ for the show.
Speaking to The Sun, the source said: ‘Strictly have been banning the celebs and the pro’s from training if they’re ill in a bid to stop them from spreading it.
‘Naturally everyone on the show just wants to show up and carry on, but if they’re spreading their lurgy it could have a big knock on effect.
And the sadly the illness will effect Saturday’s live show, as Amanda Abbington has been forced to pull out of this week’s performance due to medical reasons.
