Ellie Simmonds hits back at trolls:
Ellie Simmonds may have wowed us all with her impressive dancing skills on Strictly Come Dancing, but the Paralympic swimmer admitted she’s been targeted by trolls online and it has really affected her.
And, as she says herself, she can always count on those closest to her to provide support. Ellie – who is dancing with professional Nikita Kuzmin, 24, on the show – told us: "I think having amazing, supportive parents raising me to be happy with who I am [is the key]. Ellie also told us how she’s learnt to turn her nerves into a positive force. She reveals she listens to music by artists such as Harry Styles and Taylor Swift in order to relax and uses breathing techniques to focus. “Nerves are passion – it shows you care and you want to do well,” she said.
Speaking exclusively to OK!, Ellie said: “I met with the Strictly team and made sure that I was going to be comfortable because of the height difference.
