THEIR bumpy road to love has made compelling TV across two series of TOWIE.
Now it seems that the romance between Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar is finally over for good, just months after they’d rekindled their relationship in Cyrus.
But towards the end of last night’s episode, it seems that all the signs of their split are there, as Dan refuses to acknowledge Ella as his girlfriend.
Enjoying a drink with friends James "Diags" Bennewith, who is in a relationship with Jodie Wells, raises a toast to ‘girlfriends’ to which Dan noticeably hesitates and says, “To our what?”
Diags laughs and says, “Just me.” Then Ella says, “I am your girlfriend.” And Dan replies: “He’s winding us up.”

Then Saffron Lempriere comes over the join the table and asks the question directly saying:
“This is looking more intense. label yet?” To which Dan replies: “Its only been a couple of weeks, she wasn’t answering the phone a couple of weeks ago.”
Then in a preview of the next episode, the pair are seen at a roller skating event, where Ella confronts claims that he's been unfaithful. She says:
"If I am a home and I hear that you've been with other girls then I will not be there when you get back."

Now a source has confirmed to that Dan has indeed got cold feet and their romance is off. "After a steamy romance which started in Bali earlier this year, the pair have decided to call time on the love affair."
Last month The Sun revealed the Towie Christmas special will return this year, two years after being axed.
And it's likely the fall-out from Dan and Ella's latest split will play out during the movie-length episode.
It was recently confirmed Dan will take part in the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice and the insider added Ella has gone in a very different direction.
They said: "Dan is set to focus on Dancing On Ice, whilst Ella has jetted off to Dubai for a month before filming starts for the Towie Christmas special.
"There isn’t any bad blood between the pair and it was fun while it lasted, but a long term relationship was sadly not on the cards."
Earlier this month Ella sparked fears she and Dan had split with a cryptic post on social media.
It read: "The thing about me is I get happier, funnier and hotter every time I choose peace over someone else's nonsense."
