They ruffled a few feathers amongst the group by striking up a romance in Bali.
Yet Dan Edgar and Ella Rae Wise brushed off the backlash as they enjoyed another cosy date upon their return to Essex.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they filmed for TOWIE at Chelmsford Ice Rink on Thursday with James ‘Diags‘ Bennewith and girlfriend Jodie Wells.
Dan, 33, embraced Ella, 22, as they watched their friends spin around on the ice, later sneaking off for a smooch.
Love was certainly in the air for all, as Diags, 32, was snapped giving Jodie a cheeky squeeze on the bottom during their date.

During the show’s latest episode, Ella confessed that she had been ‘snogging’ Dan ‘the entire time’ they were in Bali and they ‘couldn’t take their hands off each other.’
The pair cosied up wearing next to nothing as they embraced each other in the water, with the Essex beauty later admitting: ‘The sexual chemistry is so f***ing strong.’
Their steamy romance comes after Ella told MailOnline in 2022 that Dan had ‘inappropriately’ touched her in a nightclub despite him being in a relationship with Amber Turner at the time.
Ella also made her feelings clear towards the couple’s former romance, saying: ‘I’m not the biggest fan of theirs and they’re not the biggest fans of me but I’m the worst person he could have touched up in a club because I’m not going to keep it a secret.’
At the time, Dan refuted Ella’s claims and the pair didn’t speak for months following the dispute.
During the show’s latest episode, Amber seemed to reference their past drama as she shared: ‘Let’s not forget, she’s always had a thing for Dan… she always has.
‘Obviously, she’s single now… naturally she’s going to want to go for Dan. She doesn’t owe me anything, she’s not my friend.’
In an interview, Amber admitted Ella’s interest in Dan didn’t ‘shock her’ as she has ‘always had thing’ for him, but her pursuit was natural given her single status.

Whilst some say their fling is completely unexpected, others say their new relationship doesn’t come as a surprise – even for his ex-girlfriend Amber Turner, 30, (Amber and Dan pictured)
Speaking to The Sun, Amber said: ‘Let’s get one thing right – Ella’s always had a thing for Dan, she always has. She is single now – naturally she is going to want to go for Dan.’
She added Ella owed her nothing and whatever the pair of them got up to, was none of her business, but she would feel uncomfortable if she saw the two of them kiss.
Reflecting on her past relationship with Dan, Amber also admitted she felt betrayed by him after he denied any flirting from his side.
She said: ‘He swore on his life he never flirted with her. It has made me feel like he had a thing for her in the past. At the end of day he was my boyfriend of 5 years. We’ve got a dog. We lived together.’
‘I do see the good in people. You are living with me. But when I turn my back, you are flirting with another girl. That was Dan back in the day. I didn’t think 33-year-old Dan would still be doing that.’
Dan and Amber parted ways last May after six tumultuous years. They had an on-off relationship from 2017 and were rocked by a number of cheating rumours.
Earlier this year, Dan and Ella reportedly snuck away from TOWIE filming in Bali for some intimate alone time.
The loved-up reality stars were spotted flaunting their new romance in front of their co-stars – including Amber – during their lavish trip.
Ella and Dan were said to be in their own ‘bubble’ and ‘couldn’t keep their hands of each other’ while filming the ITVBe show.

It was rumoured Dan and Ella had grown close while he was still with Amber which later led to the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram.
The pair’s relationship development comes after Ella was dating a mystery man, who’s identity she never revealed, from May 2023 but split from in early December.
Talking about the fling with Dan, Ella told OK!: ‘I am not rooting for anything, just letting nature take its course.
‘We buried everything in the past. When you are attracted to one another it is very hard not to gravitate towards each other.’
Meanwhile, Amber reportedly split from her new man after being left ‘heartbroken’ by Dan’s new romance.
The blonde beauty was said to have been seeing someone new for the last few months but the relationship ended after she ‘realised it was a rebound’ after the breakup from Dan.
A source told The Sun: ‘Amber had been seeing a guy who was based out in Dubai in recent months, but she recently called it a day with him.
‘She realised it was a rebound after her break-up with Dan, and she didn’t see a future in the new relationship, so she quietly ended things before she went to Bali to film TOWIE.’
The insider also claimed Amber was hoping to rekindle things with Dan while they are filming the new series of TOWIE abroad but his growing romance with Ella has got in the way.
The source added: ‘Amber had a breakdown on camera about it and sobbed to her co-stars, which will all play out on the new series of TOWIE.’
The insider told how Amber wasn’t expecting to see Dan move on with another cast member and she found it difficult to watch and now feels ‘heartbroken’.
While the group had started out promisingly they ultimately ended up in a heap on the ice
