STRICTLY Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor has shared feeling worse for wear after being struck down with a nasty bug.
Comedian Ellie – who was partnered with Johannes Radebe on the 2022 series of Strictly – looked unrecognisable after stripping back her usually glam look to have a good old mope on the sofa as she dealt with norovirus.
She's not lost a bit of her funny bones though, posting a photo on Instagram in a baggy grey jumper and posing for the camera.
"The ‘day after norovirus’ glow,” she wrote. “Christ what a grim 24 hours. But I’ve coped with a piece of toast now so things are looking up.”
Norovirus is otherwise known as the "vomiting bug", and can also cause aches and pains in the arms and legs and a sky-high temperature.

Thankfully, it also runs through the system relatively quickly, with symptoms only lasting up to two days.
But is does mean you're also not able to eat because your body cannot handle food.
Ellie, who is married to Australian CNN reporter Phil Black, lives in London with her husband and daughter, Valentina.
She participated in Strictly in honour of her toddler, wanting Valentina to grow up knowing it was OK to "embrace your weird" in the many forms that can take.
Ellie will be back on our screens soon thanks to the return of Apple TV+ smash hit Ted Lasso – with season three starting to air today.
The star plays Sassy, Rebecca's longtime best friend and loyal party girl who has a soft spot for Jason Sudeikis's Ted.
She is also now starring alongside Danny Dyer in new Netflix quiz show Cheat.
While Danny is on hand to provide cockney commentary, Ellie acts as quizmaster on the series, where contestants can lie their way to the prize money as long as they don't get caught out.
As a result, she's often known for her glam style and look as she takes on presenting duties.
