In a candid chat with Inside Soap magazine, Elle confessed: “I remember doing the audition and worrying that the other person was going to get the part. My cardigan was buttoned up wrong, and I had beans down my top. I even said my line wrong! ” She’s made quite an impression since then, landing consecutive nominations for “Best Young Actor” at the Inside Soap Awards. Daily Star has reached out to Elle’s representatives for further comments.
