In news we did NOT see coming, it looks as though TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise and Katie Price’s ex-fiancé are an item after they were papped looking cosy together on a night out in Basildon.
What great love story didn’t start in Basildon?
According to sources, Kris Boyson and Ella met while filming the upcoming series of Celeb Ex on the Beach and have been making a go of things since landing back on UK soil.
"They met on Celeb Ex On the Beach and now they're dating," the insider told The Sun.
"It's really early days and I don't know if they're official yet, but it's going really well and they really like each other."
Kris is only recently single after splitting from glamour model Bianca Gascoigne earlier this year, each citing busy work schedules as the reason for their break-up.

After his smash hit 'Out of Your Mind' with Victoria Beckham (who Katie reportedly had a feud with) Dane went a bit quiet on the music scene. Fast forward to 2013 and he reformed with Another Level for The Big Reunion. More recently, Dane has been linked to Love Island star Laura Anderson, who he apparently ended up cheating on. He must have been out of his mind #sorrynotsorry

Matt married an actress and model called Rachael in 2016. Bizarrely, his photos have also been used in quite a few catfishing incidents. But Katie recently started following Matt on Instagram - what can this mean?
11 of 19Peter Andre 2004 - 2009
The nation watched Peter Andre fall for Katie's charms on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004.

Katie and Peter had two children together, Junior and Princess, during their five years of marriage.

Before meeting Katie, Alex starred in Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow (OK, so it was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment). After they split, Alex went on to star in Celebrity Big Brother and he continues to fight. He's been married to Nikki Manashe since 2013. Most recently, he has been involved in a sex tape allegation - claiming that Katie showed a group of people a video of him performing a sex act. Will the drama ever end? (We hope not.)
15 of 19Kieran Hayler 2012 - 2018
It looked like Katie had a good thing going with Kieran Hayler and their two kids, Jett and Bunny. But Kieran had to go and ruin it by cheating on Katie with her nanny, two best friends (while she was pregnant), then again with a 19-year-old shop assistant. Katie kept taking him backbut she FINALLY called it quits in May 2018.

"Ella and Tommy [Collins] have been seeing each other for a number of weeks now and they're having a great time getting to know each other," the insider told the same publication.
