A STRICTLY star left fans gutted when she pulled out of a gig with just hours to go.
The comedian, 41 – who took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2022 – had been due to perform a stand-up set, but a family emergency meant she had to cancel.



Taking to Instagram, Ellie Taylor wrote: “So sorry for everyone who had tickets to see me at the fabulous @alwaysbecomedy tonight.
“My baby has been unwell and I had to pull out of the gig.
“He’s on the up now hopefully and will be back terrorising the house like usual tomorrow I’m sure.”
Ellie added: “Amen for childrens’ A&E staff who were so ace with this scared mother and her poorly bubs.”
She welcomed her son in December 2023, her second child with husband Phil Black.
And Ellie later revealed she was forced to miss another appointment due to her son’s illness.
She wrote: “Thanks for all your concern.
“Honestly though the little rhino was back on his bullsh*t before bedtime.
“Never has tyranny been more joyous to witness.
“The real issue you should focus your sympathy on is this geriatric mother who had to cancel her Botxo appt today.”
Ellie was partnered with Johannes Radebe for her time on Strictly, with them become the eigth paring to be eliminated from the competition.
Earlier this year she and presenter Joel Dommett were crowned the winners of the Gladiators celebrity special.
