Ella Rae Wise & Dan Edgar relationship timeline
Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar first hooked up when stars of The Only Way Is Essex (Towie) took a trip to Bali at the start of the show's 33rd series in early 2024.
In May 2024, The Sun revealed how Ella was left furious after finding out Dan, 34, had hooked up with Hannah Rally while she was in Dubai.

"And to be honest I think it was a little bit of a blessing in disguise because it made him realise how much he actually liked me."
The pair decided to put the past behind them and said they were going to work on their romance while on a Towie trip away to Cyprus in the summer of 2024.
But by October of the same year, the couple split again, with Ella moving on with Teddy Brunt — a millionaire's son.
During Dan's debut on Dancing on Ice in January 2025, he sparked rumours he was back with Ella.

Speaking ahead of her Celebrity Big Brother appearance, she cited trust issues as the primary reason for their split.
Ella, 24, exclusively told The Sun: “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.
'What are we wasting our time for?'
“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.
“Look, he does do things that I think are so sweet, but there's just something that's missing. I don't know what it is.
