Strictly Come Dancing fans were shocked as Ellie Leach celebrated her win at a local pub on Sunday.
The former Coronation Street actress, 22, who won the Glitterball Trophy with her partner Vito Coppola, 31, on Saturday, enjoyed a roast with her family at The Boot Sarratt in Ricksmanworth.
Ellie cut a stylish figure in a gray bomber jacket, which she teamed with a black bodysuit and jeans.
She pulled her dark locks back into a neat updo and still showed off a glowing tan after her appearance in the finale the night before.
Ellie couldn't contain her smile as she posed with fans and pub staff while enjoying a relaxing day out with family.

Another pub-goer told The Sun: “Nobody knew Ellie was coming over for lunch – she was very reserved coming over with her family.”
“People were very surprised to see a Strictly winner enjoying her Sunday lunch.
“Many customers wanted pictures and she was happy to oblige. She seemed really relaxed and happy to have a well-deserved break.”
Speaking on This Morning alongside Vito on Monday, Ellie revealed how she celebrated her Strictly Come Dancing win.
She said, “I feel like it's never going to feel real.” Yesterday I thought, “What's going on?” and laid in bed all day and went out for tea with my family.
Elsewhere on the ITV show, the pair broke their silence on romance rumors after being romantically linked since the start of the series.
This Morning presenter Josie Gibson asked her: “I have to ask because the chemistry between you is magical. “We saw you on the dance floor and it was so beautiful to watch.
“Is there a romance between you?” Are the rumors true or not?'
Ellie then replied: “Honestly, we just had the most amazing time dancing and have built a really strong bond and a friendship that will last forever.”

Vito also reiterated: “We have a really nice bond, a good bond.” When you see a person and you immediately connect with them.
“I have a very first impression and when we met we felt like we had known each other for so long.”
“I’m so lucky to have you in my life.”
Josie's co-host Craig Doyle then probed further, adding: “There's 100 percent romance, 100 percent… I can see it.”
Then Ellie and Vito quickly shouted, “No, no.”
Ellie continued: “We've been through so much together, we've spent every day together for the last three months.”
“So we’re really lucky to have this bond that we have and we’ll be friends for life.”

“Actually, I really can't believe this,” a stunned Ellie muttered, before exclaiming that this was the first time she had seen Vito cry.
They lifted the Glitterball trophy as confetti fell from the ceiling and they were lifted onto the shoulders of their competitors.
The pair impressed throughout the finale, performing the Pasodoble, a show dance, and finally an American Smooth.
