Equestrian student Ellie Melville is dreaming of riding into stardom – as a singer playing to audiences of millions.
She is studying at the College of West Anglia at Cambridge but has already sung her way through three auditions for TV’s X Factor and is waiting to hear if she has been selected for the all-important final stage – the first televised auditions. Seventeen-year-old Ellie, 17, from Reach near Cambridge, is in her first year of a two-year Level 3 equine course.
