The Only Way Is Essex has seen some explosive couples over the years, but none more so than Ella and Dan.
But after calling it quits for good earlier this year, it is being reported that Dan has started dating Chloe Lewis, who was on Towie back in 2015.

A source told Closer that it was "early days", but that Dan are Chloe were said to be "smitten" with each other.

Ella has no broken her silence on her ex's new romance.
"I think she's an absolutely beautiful girl and, look, at the end of the day, if they are exploring things I wish them all the best," she told Closer.
When asked if she knew Chloe, she replied: "No, we don't really have mutual friends."
However despite her ex seemingly moving on to a new relationship, Ella teased there was "unfinished business" between herself and Dan.

She said: "There's a lot of speculation that has been cleared up. But it is good, and it's probably ended the best way it could have ended."
Meanwhile, Ella recently spoke out about her experience with Dan, especially in the aftermath of their break-up and promised fans would get to see why they ended things on the upcoming season of Towie.

She made the comments during a recent appearance on the Not My Bagg podcast and was asked by the hosts if things were amicable with Dan while filming the latest Towie season or if the situation between the pair was tense.
"Nothing's kicked off with us on camera... obviously off screen there's been a hell of a lot of conversations and look at the end of the day, I don't feel as if I've been treated with much respect, so I felt as if I needed to say certain things," Ella said.

"But away from the show, because it's personal life. He was just my boyfriend before Towie, he was my boyfriend because we actually had a lot of love and care. It wasn't a 'showmance'."
Ella added: "So it's been really hard to navigate what I show on TV for the whole world to see, and then what is personal, because it's private."
Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar first got together when the stars of Towie took a trip to Bali at the start of the show's 33rd series in early 2024.
They had a few ups and downs and a short break-up, they decided to put the past behind them and got back together last summer.

Love is Blind UK hosts: 'People are just sick of the swipe culture'
Netflix's hit dating show Love is Blind UK is back for a second season with husband and wife duo Matt and Emma Willis at the helm, who say the massive popularity of the series is partially down to people being jaded by online dating apps and "swipe culture". The series began in 2020 in the US, where there have been eight seasons, and spawned a host of international spin-offs, including Brazil, Sweden, Mexico and Japan, with the UK edition premiering last year. The second season of Love is Blind UK sees UK and Ireland-based singletons choose someone to marry "sight unseen" after a whirlwind period of dating in Pods, where an opaque wall separates the contestants. Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment, Emma Willis, best known for presenting Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother and The Voice UK, said she was "super excited" to be back for another run. "I'm pumped and ready to see who walks down the aisle!" she said. "I love it. I feel like we're just peeping through the window of someone's personal life. It's great." Her husband and co-presenter, Busted star Matt Willis, agreed wholeheartedly. "You know, I think we're both very much into love," he said. "We love watching our friends fall in love. Emma's the matchmaking queen, if she can match anyone up, she will. So this is kind of a perfect job. It's just a really great thing to be part of." "It's lovely to watch it in the flesh as well. We get to watch it all unfold," Emma continued. "We have the best job on in it really, because we see them at the beginning, we dip in along the way and then we see them again a year later to see how's it's gone and if they're still together." The first season of the UK version of the series stood out as the contestants, for the most part, seemed to be in for the right reasons, and not, say, to achieve a certain type of overnight fame. For Matt and Emma, what do they think draws people to apply for the show in their droves? "The thing we hear again and again is that people are just sick of the dating world," Matt said. "It's a very different terrain out there to when I met Emma, you know, and I can't imagine it. "And look, for some people, it's really working, some people are finding love on the apps and they definitely are a good thing. But I think a lot of people are just so sick of this 'swipe culture'. "They want to find something true, want to find something real, want to know the other person wants it to. And this is that show." "Going on emotion rather than visuals, I think it's something really special," Emma agreed. The physical barrier of the wall really does seem to lead to intense bonds forming quickly between the contestants. It's something that's difficult to imagine as a viewer. "There's something about that Pod," Matt said. "When we went in there, it's this glowing purple wall that you stare at and fall in love with. And I get it!" "It's really calm and the air is warm, it's that kind of perfect temperature to make you feel comfortable and it's really peaceful," Emma interjected. "There's no external noise. So when you think about yourself being in a pod where you could hear your own breath, it's like that. But the only thing you can hear is one other person. It's mad, really isn't it? "Once you go in one, you can understand how they let their guard down, because you can't see any cameras either." Despite becoming acquainted with the contestants, they weren't able to call who might end up together after the Pods. "I was really surprised," Matt said. "I made a list of people, I started to match them up and had a piece of paper with lots of names written down. I got it way wrong! Nothing was right." "Yeah but you've done that on visuals haven't you!", Emma teased. "I try not to, you can't guess," she added. "You can't meet a bunch of people for the first time for 10 minutes and then look at their picture and go 'Oh, they're gonna be together, they're gonna be together.' Matt loves that game!" As for what people might expect this season - the hosts didn't hold back. "There is lots of beautiful romance, and there is drama," Emma said. "It's a gentle start and then it really kicks off. That's all I'm going to say." "It's a slow builder," Matt observed, before promising plenty of "gossip juice". "It's pure people watching, isn't it?" Emma commented of the enduring love for the series. "And I think there's nothing nicer than watching people fall in love. "I know everybody likes drama and controversy, but watching a love story unfold in front of your eyes - that's pretty special. We all love rom-coms, don't we? Whether you admit it or not, this is like a very long rom-com." And as for advice for anyone considering applying for the third season of the Netflix dating series? "If you're apprehensive, just do it, give it a go," Emma said. "Please go in there with good intentions and be open, be open to the process. And be open to the person or the people that you're talking to. "I know that is much easier said than done for some people but if you're gonna go into something like this then go in open and ready to immerse yourself." "And I'd say don't play it cool," Matt added. "That's a killer piece of advice for most of life. Just show them who you are, don't try to be someone else."

Joe, 58, made this revelation while chatting to filmmaker Kevin Smith. However, he also clarified: "Yeah, I don't know [Gerard], but we're cousins." The pair are connected through Joe's grandmother Josie - who was Gerard's aunt. More on My Chemical Romance FINAL POST My Chemical Romance star's final post paid tribute to fellow rockstar who died Joe's varied career includes stints as a comedian, actor, UFC commentator and TV host. He launched The Joe Rogan Experience in 2009 - and by six years later, it had become among the world's most popular podcasts. Aside from Gerard, My Chemical Romance also includes his brother Mikey, Ray Toro and Frank Iero. The rock group, which first formed in 2001, became a genre-defining group in the emo era with their album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge in 2004. Their iconic status was then cemented with the multi-platinum selling album, The Black Parade, in 2006 – a concept album that followed a man's journey to the afterlife. The band initially split in 2013, but reformed in 2019 for a string of special shows. My Chemical Romance star Bob Bryar dead aged 44 & 'lay undiscovered for weeks' after 'no one heard from him for 22 days' (1) They officially returned to the road for a new tour earlier this year.

But on top of that they have released collections of recordings, Conventional Weapons, as well as bonus tracks and specials on their Greatest Hits album. Since that point, each have gone on to work on other projects, with Gerard notably helping create Netflix series The Umbrella Academy, based on a comic book he created by Gabriel Bá. It comes as My Chemical Romance recently announced two massive UK gigs at Wembley. They will be bringing their massive stadium tour to the UK after a sell-out run in the US. The band will perform at Wembley on July 10 and July 11, 2026. However, fans were left furious at the "extortionate" ticket prices for these performances.
