ELLA Rae Wise broke down in tears during tonight’s Celebrity Big Brother as she opened up about her split from Dan Edgar.
Ahead of her CBB debut, Towie stunner Ella, 24, confirmed she and Dan, 34, had called time on their romance after first getting together in January last year.
Ella was quizzed on her relationship status by housemates Angellica Bell and JoJo Siwa, who were shocked to learn how recent she and Dan had broken up.
She told them: “It was a week ago.”
As she started to sob, presenter Angellica, 49, said: “I knew something wasn’t right.”
Ella replied: “I just feel like an idiot because I knew he wasn’t going be what I wanted him to be.
“I don’t want to waste years trying to change someone. It doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, because we can.”
Ella exclusively confirmed she and Dan had split when speaking to The Sun before entering the CBB house.
She said: “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.
“We can be best friends, but if something’s missing, what are we wasting our time for?
“I just feel that he’s very set in his ways and I can’t change someone and I can’t expect someone to change either.
“And if he’s comfortable in how he is and if he thinks what he gives in a relationship is enough, that’s okay because that can be enough for someone. But it’s just not enough for me.”
Fans are convinced Ella will hit it off with Love Island’s Chris Hughes in the house, predicting a new reality TV romance.
