She was shipped out to Nantucket Island on the east coast of the USA and told to promote the label among super rich kids.

The 21-year-old said: "It's 100 per cent the best summer I've ever had."

Ella was involved in organising a bash on a yacht with a 'nautical chic' theme.

She said: "We had a DJ for the whole day on board, followed by a sunset dinner party."

Ella and other promoters – or 'seasonnaires' – she met on her travels guzzled champagne together in the name of work.

Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, she added: "We also did a brewery takeover with Cisco brewery, which is famous on the island where we were doing Jack Wills giveaways.

"We also got our DJs to do a set there – it was so fun.

"Also, every Monday there was a night called 'Jack in the Box' at a place called Chicken Box.

"It was basically a huge Jack Wills night that everyone on the island would go to."

But Ella said partying for a living wasn’t all fun and games, claiming it was actually hard work.

She said: "The social aspects like the events were a definite perk of the job and I did have loads of fun.

"But there was a lot of hard work involved too.

"It's not one of those jobs you can just go home and relax after the work is done.

"It was a 24-hour job, seven days a week. But I loved it so it didn't really feel like work."

Ella is originally from St Albans, Herts, but is living in Newcastle while she works towards her degree.
