‘Shocked’ Dan Edgar blindsided by Ella Rae Wise dumping him just hours before CBB lockdown
DAN Edgar was left totally “blindsided” by Celebrity Big Brother beauty Ella Rae Wise after being dumped.
The Towie man has told pals that he’d thought the break-up was pretty friendly until seeing her bragging about being “flirty” on her VT for the reality show.
Ella, who once dated Pete Wicks, giggled: “I could literally float with a loaf of bread. I could flirt with anything! I’m flirting with the camera.”
The comments have left Dan bemused as he’d thought the break-up was amicable, pals say.
Clearing up the timeline, the friend said they broke up last Wednesday after a string of rows but remained in contact as pals.
The friend told The Sun: “They were still chatting after the big row on Wednesday as had both agreed it just wasn’t working.
“But everything was pretty amicable.
“They were just chatting as normal, the odd text and that, and spoke on Sunday just before she went into lockdown.
“But he was blindsided by the comments she made about being such a flirt last night, and how she flirted with everyone constantly, as that’s just not nice to hear.”
Speaking exclusively to The Sun just hours before she entered the nation’s most famous house, Ella confirmed the end of their 18 month relationship.
Ella, 24, 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?”
She went to explain that she and Dan are very different people.
“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.”
She did have some kind words for her ex, however, and praised his prowess in the bedroom.
“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.
Ella added: “We can’t just be together because we have a great sex life, it’s got to be deeper than that.”
