Why Ella Rae Wise was culled from The Only Way is Essex is one of the great mysteries of our time, right up there with the continuing popularity of James Corden.
Ella was brutally cut from the Essex based reality show following series 27 (twenty-seven!) along with ten other cast mates and we are still not over it. We may never be over it.

Celia Theodorou we can understand. Harry Lee basically bored off. Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows, we didn't like the decision but we got it.
But Ella -Ella! - had been at the heart of some major Essex drama including but not limited to her 'flirty friendship' with sexiest-man-in-Brentwood Pete Wicks, her major fall out with Kelsey Stratford, and her almost but not really ("did we sleep together, though?") relationship with Tom McDonnell.
But now she's back.

Speaking of Char, remember when Ella went to work for, or at least help promote, Stephen Bear's new tanning salon? That was an odd time.
Our extensive research (looked at social media) suggests that - ahem - Bronzing Bear may no longer be open.
Ah well.
