Dan Edgar, 34, was all smiles during a family lunch in Essex on Tuesday, marking his first public appearance since his split from TOWIE co-star Ella Rae Wise, 24, was revealed. The reality star, dressed in a black sports outfit, hugged loved ones and walked his dog, appearing in good spirits despite the recent breakup.

Ella confirmed their 18-month on-off relationship had ended just before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house on Monday. During her debut, she humorously declared herself single, joking, “I could flirt with a loaf of bread!”—a remark that reportedly blindsided Dan, who believed their split was amicable.

In Wednesday’s episode, Ella broke down while confiding in housemates JoJo Siwa and Angelica Bell. “This is fresh,” she tearfully admitted, explaining she realized Dan couldn’t meet her needs. “I don’t want to waste years trying to change someone.” Angelica praised her strength, and Ella hinted they might remain friends.

Sources claim Dan felt hurt by Ella’s flirty TV persona after their recent communication. “They’d agreed it wasn’t working but stayed friendly,” an insider shared. “Her comments felt unnecessary.”

Meanwhile, Dan focused on family, spotted laughing in a beer garden and doting on his pet. His outing contrasted Ella’s emotional CBB moments, where she clarified the split wasn’t linked to the show but admitted, “Something was missing.”

Ella emphasized their chemistry but stated, “We can’t be together just for a great sex life.” She denied rumors the split was due to her promise not to flirt with co-star Chris Hughes, insisting the decision was mutual.

As Dan moves forward with family support, Ella navigates the CBB spotlight, their paths diverging after a turbulent romance.
