JJ certainly has the makings of a lavish screen star, with his jet-setting lifestyle and posh nights out.

Now we can report how TOWIE bosses are eager to bring him on board.

A source was first to tell us: "JJ has made quite the impact on Married At First Sight, thanks to all the headlines generated by him ‘wife swapping’ with Ella, and he’s caught the eye of Towie bosses.

"They think he would be a perfect fit for their show - he’s from Essex, he looks good and having starred on MAFS, clearly knows how to bring drama.

She then furiously confronted the pair in front of the experts - with Ella's partner Nathanial having walked out - before making her dignified exit.

Meanwhile, following last night's emotional commitment ceremony, viewers were up in arms on JJ's behalf.

Ella was called out by her partner on the show for drinking too much and saying nasty things to him.

However, viewers felt like the experts focused on what JJ could do to make Ella feel better, disregarding her 'toxic' comments.

They took to X to slam the relationship therapists for not offering advice more geared towards Ella fixing her issues.

Ella's former MAFS husband Nathanial, who had been paired with her by the experts, had also mentioned similar issues with her drinking.
