MARRIED At First Sight star Ella Morgan today revealed what she really thinks of her ex JJ Slater’s relationship with Katie Price.
Ella, 29, and her ex JJ, 31, had an affair on the E4 show and even ended up re-entering as a new couple – but things didn’t quite work out for them.
While they agreed to be friends, Ella has struggled to be civil since she found out that JJ has moved on with Katie.
After it was revealed they were a couple, she was said to “fuming” with Katie for getting to know her ex as the girls had become friends after she appeared on Mafs.
But now it looks like Ella has had a change of heart, and even praised Pricey as an “icon”.
Speaking to OK! about her thoughts on JJ’s relationship with the former glamour model, she said: I’m really happy for JJ and Katie.
“I haven’t seen him since the show or spoken to Katie since she reached out to me after it aired to say she really enjoyed watching it.
“I’ve always been a Katie fan, she’s like a queer icon! They look really happy together so I’m really happy for them!”
Meanwhile, Katie and JJ were first seen “getting close” in the booth of Bobby’s Bar in Newcastle back in February.
The former glamour model then posted a loved-up snap of the pair on her Instagram page with a touching caption.
Katie said: “They say things happen for a reason , the unexpected happened . Fate . Ticks every box .
“@johnjoeslater you have proved to me you are a real gentleman and completely except me for me.”
JJ who shot to fame on the E4 dating show last year, wrote in the comments section: “Fate… thank you so much for being you.”
Ella was said to be blindsided by the news that Katie and JJ were dating.
A source said: “Ella is fuming and feels really betrayed by Katie for talking to her ex JJ.
“Ella and Katie have become friends over recent months, so it surprised her that Katie would do that.
Katie reached out to Ella before Katie had met JJ. Katie was so lovely to Ella and so supportive and giving her so many compliments, just being a genuine person.

“She doesn’t have any feelings for JJ, she’s just livid that Katie went behind her back and broke girl code.”
Katie and JJ – real name John Joe – have been inseparable since they met.
A source previously told The Sun: “They’ve met a few times and are texting each other constantly. She’s really into him – this is the first man she’s actually been interested in since Carl.”
Fellow MAFS star Tasha Jay has also spoken out about JJ and Katie’s blossoming relationship.
Speaking to Bobby Norris and Ellen Coughlan on FUBAR Radio, Tasha, 25, said: “Katie reached out to Ella before Katie had met JJ. Katie was so lovely to Ella and so supportive and giving her so many compliments, just being a genuine person.
“Then next thing you know she’s got her sloppy seconds. She’s not heartbroken and crying into a tub of Ben and Jerry’s but it was a bit of a kick in the teeth at first. It’s early days and they’re talking about babies and stuff now apparently so I’m just a bit confused.”
Tasha continued: “I do love JJ, we got on like a house on fire when we were filming but I just don’t know. I mean Katie is his type, so he says.
“But my only thing is, the reasons that he didn’t want to be with Ella, Katie does a lot of those things. That’s the one thing that’s confused me.”
Katie split for good from on/off fianceé Carl Woods on New Year’s Eve after four years of dating, leaving her single and ready to mingle.
Carl and Katie were even believed to have been planning a secret wedding after reuniting following one split, but the marriage never materialised.
