In the saucy snap, she tucked into a plate of chips whilst enjoying the sunshine in California.

Wearing a classic-cut bikini, she grinned as she enjoyed her pool-side set up under a parasol.

Her hair, which is currently dark brown had chunky blonde highlights and framed her face in beachy waves.

She showed off her sporadic tattoos which are dotted across her thighs and arms.

"Chips of fries you decide";, she wrote in the caption.

Fans flocked to the comment section to sing her praises, with one writing: "id travel the wasteland with u".

"gaaad damn girl," another swooned.

"stunning", a third chimed.

Last week Ella enjoyed a country music festival in California with her boyfriend Max Bennett Kelly and their adorable dog Milo .

Embracing the theme she wore a cowboy hat with a low-rise rainbow skirt and strappy yellow top.

She and Max looked loved up as they danced to the music at Stagecoach Festival.

The couple have been dating for around three years and have managed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

Max is a singer-songwriter and he released his debut EP, Junk Male, in June 2023.

The couple appear to be very supportive of eachother's career and have collaborated on a short film together to celebrate the release of his album.

In 2011 she appeared in BBC HD film short Candy in June.

In 2013 she appeared Kick-Ass 2 as Dolce and then the following year she starred in independent film WildLake.

In 2018 she starred in Sweetbitter, where she played Tess, a 22 year old who moves to New York to pursue a new life.

In 2021 she played Jackie in the Showtime drama series Yellowjackets and later that year she was the voice of the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy.

She also played Jinx in the Netflix animated series Arcane.

Ella starred in the film but was also credited with directing, co-producing and co-writing the project.

Max plays a boxer named Hollywood Thompson and Ella plays his love interest Decency "Dee" DiMartini.

Fallout’s TV adaptation launched on Prime Video last week but has already seen immense popularity.

In fact, it’s been so popular that Amazon has already announced that it will be renewed for a second season.
