TOWIE’S Ella Rae Wise fights back tears after a blazing row with Dan Edgar over blocking him.
In our exclusive clip from the ITVBe show, Ella, 24, opens up about a recent fallout with her boyfriend Dan, 34, who The Sun revealed have secretly split off-screen.
She admits in the upcoming episode, “It was so awkward in the beginning. We basically got forced by other people to say hello.”
Jodie Wells, joining her at a nail salon, asks, “And it was OK?”
Ella responds, “Oh, it was fine,” explaining that she had to clarify why she blocked him, expressing her unhappiness.
“He was like, ‘Well, you should have just told me, and we could have spoken about it.’ I was like, ‘Right, OK. I did overreact a little bit, but it felt right at the time to block you.'”
Dani Imbert chimes in, admitting, “No, I was egging it on,” as Ella reflects on the aftermath.
She continues, “I went back to mine and just the same stuff. I’m like, ‘I don’t know what we’re doing. What are we?’”
Dani tries to reassure her: “I don’t think you should let this holiday completely throw you off because you were in a good place.”
Jodie adds, “He did stay with James every night. Every night, he did say that.”
Dani advises, “Don’t let it get to your head too much.”
But Ella reveals her vulnerability, sharing, “I just don’t know, like, maybe… I get in my own head about it.
“Look, I’ve been on the receiving end where I’ve been blocked and kicked out of someone’s house, not knowing why.
“I always question myself. ‘What have I done wrong?’ I feel like now it’s just going to be so hard for me to give my all to someone because I just feel like I’m going to be rejected again.’”
Dani urges her to open up: “In the long run, it’s not going to do you any favours. You need to speak to him a bit more.”
Ella confesses, “I don’t know why I don’t do that.”
“Because it’s hard,” Jodie replies, encapsulating the emotional weight of the conversation.
Just this week, The Sun told how Ella has already moved on with a millionaire’s son after her shock split from Dan.
The reality star is said to have grown close to north London lad and wealthy business owner Teddy Brunt, 21.
A source told us: “She might be dating Dan on-screen but off-screen Ella has moved and she’s secretly dating a very rich 21-year-old called Teddy Brunt.
“She has been in Dubai with him – she’s staying in his apartment out there.
“He is only 21 but runs his own business and is well known in the Essex circles – and his dad’s a millionaire.”
Ella has been keeping tight-lipped on her new romance, but she has been dropping hints about a new fella in her life.
The smitten star received 1,500 roses in the shape of a teddy bear a couple of days ago.
She then posted a photo of her boarding a yacht with a private hot tub.
This won’t come as a surprise to many Towie fans after Dan revealed his inability to commit to Ella on the latest episode.
During a chat with James “Diags” Bennewith, Dan said: “It’s not that I don’t feel like I could ever get to that place, I don’t know if I could or couldn’t.
“I just know right now at this moment, I’m not at a place where I’m thinking of this as long term thing and when I do think of it as a long term thing, I start to then close off and go back because of other previous situations.
“That’s messed me up as well with it.”
Diags replied: “Then you’ve gotta tell her that.
“Say ‘listen, I can’t give you any more assurances in the fact that I don’t know where this is going’.”
Dan said: “Do you know what’s mad about it?
“She’s someone who I, well you know full well, wouldn’t even have thought I’d never talk to again in my life to someone who I hold highly in my head.
“Do you know what I mean, as a person, I like her a lot but there is other stuff that needs to be spoke about, and I feel like before everyone gets carried away with it and before either of us get carried away, we need to have an honest chat about how we both feel.”
In that same episode, all the signs of their split became evident as Dan refused to recognise Ella as his girlfriend.
Diags, who is in a relationship with Jodie Wells, raised a toast to their ‘girlfriends’ to which Dan noticeably hesitated and said, “To our what?”
A source has confirmed to Closer that Dan has indeed got cold feet and their romance is off. “After a steamy romance which started in Bali earlier this year, the pair have decided to call time on the love affair.”
It was recently confirmed Dan will take part in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice and the insider added Ella has gone in a very different direction.
They said: “Dan is set to focus on Dancing On Ice, whilst Ella has jetted off to Dubai for a month before filming starts for the Towie Christmas special.
“There isn’t any bad blood between the pair and it was fun while it lasted, but a long term relationship was sadly not on the cards.”
