Strictly Come Dancing 2023 winner Ellie Leach has continued updating fans of the shenanigans from the live tour, sharing footage of a recent wig mishap.

During one of the shows at Glasgow's OVO Hydro last weekend, Leach saw her wig fly off in the middle of a dance routine with her pro partner Vito Coppola.

The Coronation Street star took to her Instagram Stories to share fans' videos of the moment.

"Hair today, gone tomorrow," one of the Stories reads. "Wig missing in action."

"Didn't want that hair anyway," Leach replied to another fan's clip.

This is just the latest unexpected incident during the current Strictly live tour. Just last week, Leach took to her Instagram to ask fans who attended the show in Birmingham to share footage of her tumble on stage during a Barbie-inspired number.

"If you didn't see it, well, here you are. I'm telling you all now: I fell over in the middle of the show in front of thousands of people," the soap star shared. "So, yeah, what a great way to carry on with the show."

The fans promptly responded to Leach's call, posting clips of the hilarious moment in which the actress falls before adjusting her Barbie cowgirl hat and being helped to her feet.

Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Tickets for Strictly's 2024 live arena tour are available now.
