TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise and Roman Hackett look cosy as they enjoy a date

Ella Rae Wise and Roman Hackett put on a cosy display as they headed to lunch in London on Thursday.

The TOWIE beauty, 21, who has been linked to her co-star, 19, since April, stunned in a frilly cream bandeau and beige shorts that drew attention to her toned pins. 

She opted for a loose style to her blonde locks and teamed the stylish outfit with cross-over strappy heels.

Carrying a Louis Vuitton clutch, Ella grinned from ear-to-ear as she held the hunk’s hand and strutted along the street. 

Roman dressed in a sharp shirt and ripped jeans for their date to the Ivy Asia, wearing a pair of black-and-white trainers.

He also couldn’t keep the smile from his face as the pair laughed with one another.

The blonde beauty also shared a few highlights of the outing with her Instagram followers.

Snapping a mirror selfie, Ella added a beige blazer that matched her shorts and posed up a storm in her stylish ensemble.

TOWIE fans saw Ella and Roman’s romance start to heat up on the show back in April, with the beauty later saying they were taking things slow.

She told OK! in May: ‘We’re just getting to know each other and seeing where things go. At the moment, it’s all going quite well and good to be honest.

‘I’m getting to know him and I’m liking what I see and I’m liking what I’m getting to know.’

The romantic lunch also comes as it was announced that a slew of TOWIE stars will be getting axed from the reality show, with Ella being one of them. 

Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows are the biggest casualties in the ITVBe show’s mass cull that has seen 10 cast members axed.

The best pals, who joined the series in 2015, have been dropped in a huge bid to breathe new life into the long-running reality series after a ratings slump.

Harry Lee, 26, Kelsey Stratford, 20, and Clelia Theodorou, 26, are also tipped to leave, while Chloe Brockett, 20, has confirmed she will remain in the cast.   

Ella has been let go from the series after joining in 2019, and prior to dating Roman, she enjoyed a ‘flirty relationship’ with Pete Wicks, to the annoyance of his ex-Chloe Sims.

The Only Way Is Essex’s Instagram page penned last week: ‘[Cast member changes] allows our cast more time to film their real lives, showing more of their personal passions and professions, alongside their strong bonds and dynamics with family and friends.

‘Devastating’: Chloe (pictured), who joined the series in 2015, has been axed in a huge bid to breathe new life into the long-running reality show after a ratings slump 

‘Those who won’t appear regularly on screen next series will always be part of the TOWIE family and we wholeheartedly thank them for sharing their lives with us in recent years.

‘As always, their wellbeing is of paramount importance to us and we will continue to offer welfare support if needed to all past and present TOWIE cast. We ask and urge all our viewers to think before commenting below, and remember that #ThesePeopleAreAllReal.

‘Thank you to our audience for your continued support. #TOWIE will be back soon for it’s 29th series on @ITVBe, stay tuned for further announcements’.

Be mindful: TOWIE producers asked and urged all of their viewers to ‘think before commenting’ and ‘remember that #ThesePeopleAreAllReal’.
