Ella Rae Wise has opened up about the challenges of working with her ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar on The Only Way Is Essex, admitting that the split has been 'very hard' as they cannot avoid each other on set. The 25-year-old reality star, who has her own fashion line, described their relationship as a 'full-blown relationship' compared to previous situationships.
In the latest series, Ella and Dan had a conversation about their post-breakup friendship, agreeing that its flirty nature was not 'respectful' to his new girlfriend Chloe Lewis. While Dan has moved on, Ella remains single, telling new that she is 'quite happy and content' and focusing on herself.
Ella expressed interest in joining Love Island, saying she would 'absolutely love' to take part, and also hopes to appear on Strictly Come Dancing like her former fling Pete Wicks, to make her nan proud. However, she revealed she no longer speaks to Pete, though there is 'no bad blood'.
Reflecting on public scrutiny, Ella admitted it can be 'upsetting' and 'angering' when people comment nastily, but she has developed a thick skin over eight years on the show. She maintains a private life away from the cameras and copes with low moods by shopping or spending time with family.
