Celebrity Big Brother star Ella Rae Wise is gearing up for an on-screen reunion with her ex Dan Edgar, just weeks following their sudden split. The TOWIE cast member, 24, laid her heart wide open when she entered the iconic ITV house days after breaking up with Dan.
At times it seemed the move may have come too soon following her heartache, yet Ella managed to power through and focus on herself. She had raw and sometimes vulnerable moments in the house, but she tells us that it is all part of the job.
Since leaving Big Brother, Ella is ready to make a return to screens as she heads back to her TOWIE clan. Things will be different for her though, as her ex boyfriend Dan will also be around.
TOWIE fans left the couple on a high note, as Dan had just asked Ella to be his girlfriend at the end of the latest series. However, before Celebrity Big Brother got under way, Ella revealed the duo had gone their separate ways.
She said at the time the duo had struggled on agreeing on their futures. Ella revealed to the Mirror she is set to reunite with Dan very soon as they begin filming for the next series of TOWIE.
She told us about reuniting: "On screen, definitely, we probably will film together. We go away for 10 days as a cast for the new series, so who knows? But I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get away from him as we'd all be in the same hotel."
Speaking about what it was like watching her romance blossom on screen when it had in fact broken down in real life, Ella said: "I feel when I watched that episode of TOWIE, that's the chapter in my life that felt right at the time.
"So I don't look back and I don't feel sad for it at all because it felt right in that moment. And for the months on afterwards, but no one knows what happens behind closed doors. Like everyone has their reasons as to why things aren't working in relationships.
"Just because me and Dan didn't work doesn't mean we can't be friends and we can be amicable because we really get on and it's not like anyone was deceitful to each other or anything bad happened. We just wasn't working and that's also okay."
Ella also teased we will see the breakdown of their relationship on screen. She said: "Definitely will do as just from what last series was left at was me and Dan making things official and him asking me to be his girlfriend.
"It would be something that would be played out on camera and I feel like hopefully this series is a happy one like the past series have been for all of us.
"We've all sort of gelled together as a team and let bygones be. There's not much drama on the show anymore against friends and friendships. It's more all about relationships at the moment. So hopefully we keep on that path because it's a pleasure to be around."
Reflecting on her time on Big Brother, having broke down in tears when talking about her romance with Dan, Ella admitted: "I feel like I was very emotional maybe because I was so out of sauce and so out of my normal routine which I don't really deal with.
"I like to have a routine otherwise it's not good it's pretty boring and you just end up getting down in the dump."
However, she added: "I am so used to showing my emotion on screen it doesn't really affect me because that's who I am and I feel like to be a TV reality person you have to be who you are because you have be able to relate to the public."
Ella also made sure to settle any rumours she is leaving TOWIE as she insisted: "I don't know where that's come from, I just meant 'series 35 over and out, happy to see the back of you', that's what I thought.
"TOWIE is my home and TOWIE is what's got me to where I am today and I'll be forever grateful with my TOWIE team. I enjoy TOWIE so no, not as of yet, nothing is in the pipeline of me leaving."
