Their shock split comes just days after she reportedly promised Dan that she won't flirt with Chris in the Big Brother house.
But despite Ella's plea, The Sun reported that producers 'may have other ideas' and could be planning to 'pair the duo up' for tasks and 'airing any intimate chats'. A source told the publication: 'Ella and Dan have worked hard on their relationship to get to this point, having overcome several bumps in the road. 'The last thing Ella wants is for Dan to feel insecure about Chris while she's in the house with him'.
'She promised Dan that she won't flirt with Chris or lead him on. The very last thing she wants to do is embarrass Dan'. Before adding: 'But producers are already predicting Ella and Chris will hit it off, so they may have other ideas about pairing them together in tasks and airing any inmate chats they have'.

According to The Sun, Celebrity Big Brother producers were keen to land Ella - who once dated Pete Wicks - as one of the latest batch of housemates.
They are hoping she might spill the beans on some of her other famous exes. CBB kicked off on ITV on Monday night as 13 new housemates burst onto our screens. Chesney Hawkes and JoJo Siwa were the first to head through the doors after being welcomed by hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu .
Singer Chesney, 53, was given the first task as the episode began as Big Brother told him he had to introduce himself as 'The One and Only Chesney Hawkes' to the next four entries to the house. He is playing for points in 'Big Brother's super secret very hush hush gameshow' to win prizes for the first few days in the Big Brother house. He stripped down in his intro video as he admitted he was a 'bit of a nudist' - and later joked he'd 'peaked to early' with the risky move.
As he entered the house he said of the upcoming experience: 'I'm 53 and I've spent 53 years with myself, so I think I know myself pretty well. But I reckon I'm going to learn stuff about myself. 'If you can reach your mid 50s and there's potential to do that, then that's really exciting.
And I think I'll learn some stuff about other celebrities that I didn't know as well - so that's interesting.
