Will Christmas make up for the tough time Corrie's Faye has had this year? Actress Ellie Leach tells us about her hopes for Fayes and what she loves about Christmas with her family.
What would you buy your character for Christmas?
I'd buy Faye some nice jewellery because she deserves something a bit fancy after the year she's had.
What is your character's Christmas wish this year?
I think Faye's Christmas wish this year is to stay out of trouble, although I'm not sure how that's working out for her!
How do you normally spend Christmas?
I usually spend Christmas at home with all my family. My mum always cooks the dinner and there's around ten of us so it's quite a big Christmas.
What is your favourite Christmas memory?
My favourite Christmas memories are from when I was younger and we'd leave milk and cookies in front of the fire ready for Santa to come.
Do you have a Christmas tradition?
We don't really have a tradition in my house, however my sister and I always wake up at the crack of dawn because we can't sleep through excitement.
What’s your favourite Christmas present you’ve ever received?
One Christmas my mum and dad had booked for us to go on holiday on Boxing Day and I had no idea until Christmas morning.
Have you ever re-gifted a present?
I actually love buying Christmas presents for people and I always like picking things that are personal so I don't think I've ever re-gifted a present. Although I'm not against it, if I left it to the last minute and the gift was appropriate for that person I would definitely re-gift.
What is your favourite part of Christmas dinner?
Pigs in blankets, they're the best ever.
What is your favourite Christmas movie?
I genuinely don't know if I can pick one! I LOVE Nativity because I think it's hilarious but I also love a classic like Elf or Home Alone.
What is your favourite Christmas song?
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You or Elton John - Step Into Christmas because it reminds me of Gavin and Stacey.
