Ellie, from Edinburgh, is an actress and could find her own stardom as Cary Grant’s daughter in Archie, an upcoming new ITVX biopic of the Hollywood star.

She went on to take part and win the winter version of Love Island in 2020.

"I don’t really write a lot of songs when I’m in the s*** because I find it hard to compartmentalise my feelings or what I’m thinking. “For sure I’ll still be
