They set up a cozy display case during a romantic date at a local vineyard in Essex.
But Ella Wise has voiced her thoughts about her 11-year age difference with co-star Pete Wicks after the couple rekindled their will – they won’t – romance.
The blonde beauty, 22, has expressed concern about “what people will think” about her relationship with Pete, 33, but admitted she is “more mature than her age.”

Speak with The sunElla explains: “He is 11 years older than me. It’s quite something,” before confessing that Pete is concerned about outside opinions.
She continued: ‘It’s hard because in my head I’m not 21, I feel more mature than my age and I get that from people too.
“Even Pete doesn’t feel like he’s talking to a 21-year-old when he’s talking to me.”
Ella also expressed her fear that the couple wouldn’t be able to remain friends if their romance didn’t work out, saying she’s not sure if Pete is “looking for a relationship.”

MailOnline has reached out to Pete’s representatives for comment.
It comes as The Only Way Is Essex stars were spotted sitting down for an al fresco date in the beautiful setting while filming upcoming scenes for the ITVBe Show.
Pete and Ella seemed to have rekindled their flames as they also enjoyed a kiss and a cozy hug after the ITV Summer Party last month.
The blonde beauty and tattooed hunk had a steamy cuddle outside Stringfellows in central London after their brief romance on last year’s TOWIE series quickly spiraled out of control over their 11-year age difference.
Ella and Pete dominated the 2021 series of ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex with their undeniable chemistry.

The couple never made it official. The will-they, won’t-couple then decided they were a better match as “flirty friends” after sharing an off-screen kiss.
He also admitted he wasn’t looking for a relationship after two failed relationships with TOWIE co-stars Chloe Sims and Megan McKenna.
In an interview with Closer Magazine in April, Ella said, “When I said to the girls, ‘We’re kinda flirty,’ I think they take it as a small thing; they didn’t know how flirty we were. Even the producers of the show said, ‘we can sit there and watch you two look at each other’.

Still, Ella decided she had to do what was best for her at the time.
“Pete doesn’t have the best track record in that regard and I’ve been injured before, so I’m concentrating on myself now.”
She added: “But never say never – if it happens, it happens. I’m not going to pressure the situation. If it is meant to be, it will find its way.’
It’s time? Last year Ella explained: ‘Pete doesn’t have the best track record in that regard and I’ve been hurt before, so I’m focusing on myself now’
