THERE is a shock new romance brewing between two stars of The Only Way Is Essex.
The Sun can reveal Dan Edgar, 33, and Ella Rae Wise, 23, have had a holiday fling while filming out in Bali.
Our exclusive pictures show the new couple with their arms around each other on a sunbed after sharing a kiss.
They're seen leaning in close together to take a cosy selfie as Ella kissed Dan on the cheek.
The Towie pair also appeared to make a "pinkie promise" before necking shots as they enjoyed a fun date in paradise at a beach bar overlooking the ocean.
An insider told The Sun: "Dan and Ella have been growing close while on the away trip with their friends.
"Ella's always had a thing for Dan and the cast could sense there was chemistry between them.
"On a night out with the rest of the cast, Dan and Ella kissed and have spending time together ever since.
"The fling is set to cause major drama and fallouts between the group."
Ella joined Towie with former close pals Chloe Brockett and Kelsey Stratford.
She's had an on/off feud with Dan's ex-girlfriend Amber Turner, who is also on the Bali trip.
Dan and Amber split after six years together in May last year.
They first got together in 2017 but they since had their ups and downs unfold on the long-running reality programme.
However, there were also rumours Dan had grown close to Ella while he was with Amber.
They were said to have been spotted dancing together in a club.
It led to rows between Amber and Ella - with the pair unfollowing each other on social media.
Meanwhile Ella split from her mystery man just before Christmas.
The reality star had been dating him since May 2023, sharing snaps of what they got up to on social media, but never exposed his identity.
She implied she was single during the festive period when she reposted a quote on her Instagram story that said: "Some people come to your life just to let you know that you deserve better."
The cast flew out to Bali last week - but there was trouble before the plane even took off.
The Sun revealed one cast member had been accused of getting "special treatment" from producers.
