"I first met Ellie in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena attack, through her involvement with the Survivors Choir. The courage and resilience she has displayed in the wake of such a devastating tragedy is inspirational. A talented musician and song writer, she has been a huge asset to the choir, her beautiful voice and emotional lyrics ringing out at their perfomances. Ellie has been incredibly dedicated to the group, accompanying them to New York and France for performances at the International Conference for Victims of Terror, with both trips filmed by ITV News."
​
"Ellie has spoken honestly and bravely about her journey on television, including for Granada Reports. She is articulate, thoughtful and has the ability to express herself in the most moving way. She is confident, mature, reliable and extremely professional when it comes to filming and has a great on screen presence and is a pleasure to work with."
