TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise finally confirmed her relationship status on Celebrity Big Brother on Thursday night as she revealed that she has officially split from Dan Edgar. The reality TV star, 24, who has seemingly been flirty with housemate and former Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, called it quits with Dan, 34, just one week before heading into lockdown ahead of her stint in the famous house.

Ella revealed that while her chemistry with Dan was undeniable, she wanted more from the relationship than just physical attraction. Dan had thought their split had been pretty friendly, up until he tuned into Big Brother this week where Ella dished the dirt on their breakup.

Following their fresh split, Ella has since confirmed that their split had nothing to do with the fact she was entering the Celebrity Big Brother house and more to do with the fact that Dan is "very set in his ways". The Essex beauty admitted that she needed more from a relationship, despite saying that she and Dan were best friends.

"We are not together. And it's really, really sad that we're not together. We split up a week ago. It has nothing to do with Big Brother. It was a decision that I had to make because I didn't feel that we were getting things that we wanted out of each other," she told The Sun.
