Ibiza Weekender’s Ellie Young splashes out on new £41k car despite series getting cancelled
IBIZA Weekender favourite Ellie Young has splashed out on a chic £41K car despite the reality TV show being scrapped.
The Yorkshire lass, 29, first appeared on screens for the fifth season of the popular Ibiza Weekender franchise and won over the hearts of the nation with her bubbly personality.
Earlier this month, we revealed how the iconic reality TV series had been scrapped after 10 years.
Yet Ellie's life is going from strength to strength regardless of the show's fortunes.
She took to her Instagram page to reveal she has forked out on a stylish Audi TT motor.
The car, which she has chosen in black, retails from £36,365 - but can cost upwards of £40,980 if additions are made.

In her happy caption she wrote: "Happy new car day.
"It’s sound so stupid but honestly before I stopped drinking I never thought I would be in a position to get this.
"But fast forward to feeling mentally and physically better I’ve actually started to put effort into what I do and it’s started to pay off.
"I’m proud of myself."

Her former co-star David Potts was quick to join in the celebrations and wrote: "Ahhhh baby! So proud of you!"
One fan then put: "This looks lush, you deserve it lovely."
Another gushed: "Omg that’s a beauty."
Her new purchase came after a tough few months for Ellie, who was recently attacked after filming a new TV show.
In April, she was left with a busted lip and clumps missing from her hair following the incident in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
After leaving the show in 2017, Ellie reportedly turned down a place on Love Island, which started on the exactly the same day Celebrity Big Brother.
Ellie had initially been signed up to enter the house as a pair with fellow Ibiza Weekender star Hayley Fanshaw.
Yet she got engaged in 2021 when boyfriend Matt Clow proposed on Valentine's Day.
