Originally from Bloemfontein , her father Ed and mother Pamela arrived at the resort having supposedly completed a 1000km across the Namibian Desert in aid of Leukaemia research . Ellie first met ' disabled ' Chesney Brown at a dinner and they took a liking to each other . Cilla Battersby - Brown grew suspicious and forced son Chesney to capture whatever dirt he could about the family on camcorder . Later that day , Chesney and Ellie talked about the competition which both of their families were participating in , and almost kissed but Ellie ' s parents returned as Chesney hid in the closest . From there he was witness to Ed ' s bullying ways , berating his daughter for getting three wrong notes on the violin piece by Paganini that she played . Chesney duly filmed the encounter . When all the families went on a safari , Ellie was worried sick about Chesney as he had got stuck out in the bush . She was relieved when he was found safely but when Chesney ' s family won the competition , he revealed that the family made him lie about him being disabled . As Cilla had given the footage of Ed over to the judges , they too failed to win the money . As Ellie was leaving the hotel , Chesney tried to say goodbye , but she told him that her parents were divorcing and called him a liar , saying that he was just like his mother . Chesney was devastated .
Ethel Bostock Ethel Bostock ( née Wilkins ) was Alderman Chapman ' s Mayoress from 1972 to 1973 . When Alf Roberts , Chapman ' s replacement , chose Annie Walker as his Mayoress , Ethel called at the Rovers to meet and advise her . Annie ' s first sight of Ethel was of a woman mucking in with the decoration of the Rovers living room , having arrived at the pub while Annie was away shopping and found Bet Lynch and Betty Turpin slaving away at the job . As she had just put in an advertisement for a temporary cleaner , Annie assumed that she had arrived for an interview . Though Annie was mortified when she learned the truth , Ethel laughed off the misunderstand and let her know that she had actually worked as a cleaner before . To Annie ' s surprise , Ethel was not the woman of pretension she ' d expected , but a down - to - Earth working class woman who had grown up in an ordinary terraced house in Bradshaw Street , near the glue works . When they actually got down to discussing Annie ' s upcoming role , Ethel advised her not to get delusions of grandeur from the job and put down the women who did - earning her the disdain of the incoming Mayoress who very much sought the role for the glamour and prestige . After Ethel had left , when speaking to Alf Annie put down Ethel and was shamefaced when Alf told her that Ethel had done more in her year as Mayoress than any other in recent memory . Ethel met Annie again when the Mayoral chains were handed over at the official ceremony and at a reception afterwards . Ethel upset Annie ' s sense of decorum then when she talked about getting home , getting her corsets off and having a good scratch !

Nevertheless , she attended the party that Annie held in the Rovers afterwards . Ethel was also an old friend of Minnie Caldwell ' s from the Over 60 ' s Club .
