Ella's on-off fling with Dan was even brought up by DOI host Stephen Mulhern.

But she remained tight-lipped about their relationship status, only saying one word to Stephen.

The host jokingly asked Ella if she would go on a date with him if she is currently single, to which she replied: "No."

Later in Sunday night's episode of Dancing On Ice, Ella was replaced in the front row of the audience by Dan's nan Rose.

But her fleeting appearance was enough to have already set tongues wagging that they might have rekindled their romance.

Ella has also sent the rumour mill spinning by sharing a picture taken from the Dancing On Ice studio, along with a 'vote for Dan' message.

She said on Instagram: "@danedgar we are all here ready for you."

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "I hope him and Ella are back together they are my faves on #towie."

Another added: "Can see the Ella and some of the Towie cast supporting Dan on #dancingonice!"

The sighting of Ella, who was sat next to her Towie co-stars James 'Diags' Bennewith and Tom Pearce, comes days after Dan shared his concerns about a lack of Dancing On Ice support.

The budding skater said he feared the female stars of the ITVBe show wouldn't be backing him after his tumultuous year with women.

Dan found himself at the centre of drama on Towie due to his doomed romance with Amber Turner and subsequent dalliance with Ella.

He told The Sun: "Joey Essex is a very good friend of mine who has previously done the show and he’s given me a bit of advice.

"Hopefully he will be able to come down and support me, I know Diags and Lockie will be there for sure.

"I don’t know about the Towie girls, as I think I may have burnt my bridges with them."

Ella and Dan's rocky relationship

EXOTIC ROMANCE

Sparks flew when Dan and Amber jetted off on a cast trip in Bali back in March.

In a flirty chat, they described their situation as two singletons having a "bit of fun".

Awkwardly, Dan's ex Amber Turner was on the same trip but, surprisingly, she took him to one side and gave the burgeoning romance her blessing.

CHEATING CLAIMS

Dan was accused of having a fling with his ex-girlfriend Hannah Rally behind Ella Rae's back while on holiday in Dubai.

Ella Rae was said to be furious by Dan's actions and is said to have made her feelings known to Hannah.

BITTER FEUD

Ella Rae and Hannah engaged in a social media spat, trading digs at each other through memes and barbed comments.

The most cutting of which was saw Hannah share a post of a human hand holding up a miniature man by his genitals.

It was accompanied by the caption: "Your man was in my DMs again sis, I believe this is yours."

Hannah added: "More than dms but now you can get out of mine love @ellaraewise [kiss blowing emojis]."

SINGLE LIFE

In May, a representative for Dan told us that the Towie hunk wasn't in a relationship.

Days later Ella Rae confirmed the two had split and declared she's happy being single, telling fans in a Q&A: "Yes and happily single. Focusing on myself and my brand."

TRIP ABROAD

The Cypriot heat appears to have got the pair feeling smitten again. They've been looking close while filming scenes for the reality show and even kissed on a boozy cast night out

In November, Dan and Ella were shown having a blazing row in an episode of The Only Way Is Essex.

Ella was left in tears following the dispute, which was sparked when she blocked him on social media.

The Sun, however, revealed the couple had secretly split off-screen and that Ella had already moved on with someone else.

Ella was said to have grown close to north London lad and wealthy business owner Teddy Brunt, 21.

A source told us: “She might be dating Dan on-screen but off-screen Ella has moved and she’s secretly dating a very rich 21-year-old called Teddy Brunt.

"She has been in Dubai with him - she’s staying in his apartment out there.

"He is only 21 but runs his own business and is well known in the Essex circles - and his dad’s a millionaire.”
