A FORMER TOWIE star has been proudly showing off his new girlfriend – three years on from his split with Ella Rae Wise.
Tom McDonnell has remained largely out of the spotlight since his time on the ITV2 show and dating Celebrity Big Brother star Ella but he hasn’t been without love behind-the-scenes.

The former reality TV star is loved-up with a beautician named Elsie who has clearly made an impression on the Essex lad.
Just this week, Tom shared a snap of him and Elsie on a getaway overseas as part of a romantic trip away.
It is understood that Tom has been involved with Elsie since at least March 2024.
The hunky star was used to sharing countless shirtless snaps on his social media feed before becoming more wholesome upon his new romance now choosing to share many loved-up snaps from his and Elsie’s date nights.
These days, he works as a personal trainer and also describes himself as a “Professional Boxing Seconds Licence Holder” on Instagram.
Tom was first involved with Ella around 2020 with the young couple’s explosively rocky romance playing out for all to see on TOWIE.
But things soon went sour when it emerged that Ella had been swapping text messages with another boy behind Tom’s back.
The pair’s split was filmed for TOWIE during a heated row at a Halloween party.
Ella confessed to exchanging a number of messages with another boy but did not feel as though she needed to tell Tom.
She then spat back with her own accusations when she reminded him he had departed a recent after-party with his ex-girlfriend.
A fuming Tom said at the time: “I’m not a f**king idiot… there’s no smoke without fire… you can go crack on.
“Well I’m done, f**k this then! I’m f**king done.”
But whilst Tom has since managed to settle with his new brunette beauty of a girlfriend, Ella’s love life has not been as smooth sailing.
She has had a high-profile on-off romance with Dancing on Ice hunk Dan Edgar.
Ella and Dan finally called it quits just days before she entered the CBB house in April of this year.
