Ellie Costello TV

Alcohol addiction in lockdown

Ellie investigated how our drinking habits have changed during lockdown. The Royal College of Psychiatrists exclusively told her that they feared a spike in the complications of alcohol misuse in the coming months. Her report was commissioned for BBC Breakfast, the BBC News Channel and Radio 2 and Radio 4.

Eating disorders in lockdown

Ellie reported on the impact of lockdown on those with eating disorders. She investigated how diet talk, weight gain and a scarcity of food at the beginning of lockdown had triggered those with a history of eating disorders. Ellie met Grace Sinnott, from Leeds, who is in recovery from an eating disorder and explained how the pandemic was affecting her recovery.

LIVE- Hairdressers reopen but salons remain closed

Ellie reported live in West London as hairdressers re-opened in England but beauty salon re-opening was postponed. She interviewed an eyebrow technician live on air, Baljit Hunjan, as she explained she was struggling to make a living. Ellie later spoke to a client who was getting her hair done for the first time in months, and later interviewed the owner of the Richard Ward Salon in Chelsea. Ellie reported live throughout the day on location.

LIVE Parliamentary inquiry into fast fashion

Ellie spoke to presenter Karin Giannone about the findings of the Parliamentary inquiry into fast fashion live on BBC OS. It came off the back of a report she did on BBC World on the same topic. Ellie covered this story from beginning to end and appeared across several BBC outlets with her coverage.

Breastfeeding in lockdown

Ellie travelled to South London to meet Devinia, a black woman and first-time mum who had struggled to breastfeed her daughter, Zora- who was tongue-tied- as all breastfeeding services had closed down during the pandemic. Ellie revealed new research suggested that 30% of new mums struggled to get any breastfeeding support.

Hip displacia

BBC Breakfast commissioned Ellie to make a short film about hip-dysplasia-which affects 1 in every 1000 babies- and had been missed during the pandemic because of a lack of physical checkups. Ellie travelled to North Essex to meet Nicola and her daughter Emmie, who had been diagnosed with a severe form of hip dysplasia.
