Now the moment she decided to pursue things with JJ, 30, has been revealed.

In an exclusive clip ahead of tonight's show, Ella can be seen sending a message to the Essex boy and insisting she came to "find a husband".

She tells the camera: "I need to go with my gut and what it's been telling me for a long time.

"Nathanial doesn't fancy me and I just need to think about me now. I came here to find a husband, I didn't come here to find a friend. I feel like I owe it to myself to see if there's anything there with JJ.

"I feel like there's a connection. I just need to do this for me, I need to be selfish."

Ella is then seen sending a text to JJ that reads: "Hey JJ. Would u fancy going for a drink?"

The affair between Ella and another groom was previously revealed, with an insider claiming she saw a future with him.

A source told : "Ella's natural type is a straight man with masculine energy so one of the other grooms ticked more of her boxes.

"She didn't want to hurt Nathanial or go against the process because being part of the show means so much to her.

"Ella was looking for love and with the other groom, he adores her body and mind, and they had a much better chance of enjoying a long-lasting relationship together."
