Dan Edgar has been linked to a former TOWIE star.

The reality TV star has found himself in the uncomfortable position as he came face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend Ella Rae Wise – though any hopes of a reconciliation appear well and truly off the table, as Dan has clearly moved on with someone new.

The 35-year-old, who first joined the ITV show back in 2015, has been romantically linked to former cast member Chloe Lewis, with the pair reportedly getting together three months after his split.

It was Ella who ended things with Dan before she headed into the Celebrity Big Brother house last year. At the time, the 25-year-old revealed that they couldn’t “just be together because we have a great sex life”.

Now the former couple have been thrown together in an awkward reunion as they returned to our screens for the brand new series of Towie.

Together with their fellow cast members, they’ve swapped Essex for Vietnam, and since touching down at the holiday destination, whispers of flirting between the pair have been doing the rounds.

Dan has denied it, yet Ella has openly admitted she still harbours feelings for her former flame.

Reflecting on their reunion, Dan recently told Closer: “The stuff with Ella is a lot more recent, so naturally, it’s not ideal being away with your ex.

“It came to light that she was still quite upset about a lot of stuff. It’s not nice, I don’t like seeing anyone upset. It was a tough situation to be in.”

The TV star then appeared to soft launch his romance with former co-star Chloe as he said: “I’m with someone else now and to be out there and see someone else (Ella) upset and still trying to manage a friendship.

“It was all new ground to try a nd navigate. It’s obviously never easy, but we’ve been trying to manage it the best we can.”

The 35 year old reportedly rekindled his connection with Chloe at Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet’s second wedding in Majorca.

Speaking about his new girlfriend Chloe, who featured on the show between 2015 and 2019, Dan went on to say: “She’s very understanding and very grown up as a person anyway. She’s done the show before and she’s understanding of how it all works.”

The TV personality made it clear there was “no sign” of her making a return.

He added: “I’m happy with how it is at the moment and it being separate. I’m in a good place with it all. Things are going well at the moment.”
