Ella Morgan was spotted locking lips with EastEnders star Bobby Brazier earlier this year, but now she is hoping to find the love of her life on Celebs Go Dating
Ella Morgan has given an update on her relationship with EastEnders hunk Bobby Brazier.
The Married at First Sight UK star, 29, was seen getting it on with Strictly fave Bobby, 21, back in May. Since then, fans have been awash with speculation of a budding romance between the two stars.
Now, Ella has broken her silence on the pair’s fling and said that the twosome are now just pals. It comes as she prepares to take part in the new series of E4 dating show Celebs Go Dating.
The pair had been seen locking lips at the BAFTA TV Awards after-party in May and initially had stayed quiet on the debacle after being papped. However, Ella has now set the record straight, speaking to the Mirror about what happened.
When asked the question of a potential romance with Bobby, Ella – still rather avoidant of the question – said that the pair did not go anywhere after the initial snog. “We had a nice time – but now I’m putting everything into this,” she explained.
“Yes, we’re friendly. Bobby’s a lovely boy and we get on really well. He’s aware I’m doing this show.”
Ella shot to fame when she made her TV debut on the British version of Married at First Sight last year. Ella made history as she was the first transgender contestant in the history of the format.
She initially thought she had found The One when she married Nathaniel Valentino some two minutes after meeting him on the show. But Ella admitted that things did not go to plan.
She then hooked up with JJ Slater, but later realised he was never really interested in her.
“JJ was the first guy in a long time who I really liked and who accepted me,” Ella said of her co-star, who is now dating showbiz legend Katie Price. “But being with JJ helped me realise what I do not want.
“I was the star of the show,” she went on to add. “It was convenient that he liked me on the show.”
Now with new ventures on the horizon for Ella as she takes part in Celebs Go Dating, Ella is hoping that she will find her Prince Charming this time around. Looking ahead to the new series, the reality star said that she was happy to be a guinea pig to show what it is like to date someone who is trans.
“My life stopped from 16 to 20 as I focused on my transition,” Ella admitted. “Now I’m making up for lost time.”
She will not be alone in her quest to find love as a host of other well-known faces put themselves out there in the hopes of finding love. Corrie bombshell Helen Flanagan has confirmed she is taking part in the new series, as is Lauryn Goodman – who recently found herself in court over financial arrangements with her baby daddy and ex-flame Kyle Walker.
