CBB chaos as star is ‘in meltdown’ and could quit amid ‘fears TV star boyfriend can’t be trusted’ while she’s in house
TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise is having secret meltdowns over her upcoming stint on Celebrity Big Brother.
She’s just days away from entering the house for the second star series of the revamped show – but has sparked fears she could quit before it’s even begun.
The Sun can reveal 24-year-old Ella is worried about being apart from her boyfriend Dan Edgar, 34, with no contact following a series of rows.
A source told us: “Ella has been having meltdowns about going on Celebrity Big Brother.
“She doesn’t trust Dan while she’s in the house and the fact that she won’t know what’s going on is giving her anxiety.
“By the sounds of it she’s having major cold feet.
“It’s really stressful in there if things are unsettled on the outside and as they’ve been rowing lately, it’s made her feel worried about being away.
“Everyone knows Dan is a flirt and Ella doesn’t trust him. They always argue over trust issues.”
Ella and Dan’s relationship began when they hooked up on the cast’s trip to Bali at the start of Towie’s 33rd series in early 2024.
He hadn’t long been out of a long-term relationship with his show star ex Amber Turner.
They entered into an on-off relationship before becoming an official couple.
Dan – who starred on Dancing on Ice this year – was supported by his girlfriend from the sidelines.
She proudly posted about his achievements – and showed off a huge bunch of red roses he’d sent her for Valentine’s Day.
The Sun revealed Ella had signed for the new series of CBB, which kicks off on April 7.
Producers hope she’ll spill the beans on her ex Pete Wicks, 37, and her current beau Dan.
A telly source said: “Ella has lots of promise and producers think she’ll be really good on CBB as one of the youngest housemates.
“She’ll bring a lot of fresh viewers with her and could spill on her famous love life.
“ITV like to cross reference between their shows as it helps with promotion.
“Ella’s got her head screwed on and is really witty and funny and isn’t afraid of a bit of drama.”
Former Love Island star Chris Hughes is among the names also set to take part in CBB.
The Sun has reached out to Ella’s rep for comment.
