MAFS fan favourite Ella Ding will be entering new side of reality TV… on the other side of the world.

The season nine fave has booked herself a spot on the UK’s longest-running reality show, Made in Chelsea.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Made in Chelsea – which I know is a much-loved show here in the UK,” Ding told Daily Mail UK. “I can assure you I won’t be marrying a stranger this time!”

The Aussie is “set to enthral” fans of the London-based drama in the new season, set to air on Channel 4 this autumn.

According to the Channel 4 website, Made in Chelsea is “an eye-opening reality series that follows the lives and loves of the socially elite 20-somethings who live in some of London’s most exclusive postcodes.”

Ding has so far kept mum on why she is joining the UK show, or who she knows, but the announcement finally answers fans’ questions about why Ella has been in London.

“I am proud of the women (sic) you are becoming, I am proud of you,” Ding wrote on Instagram last week. “Stay in your lane and do your thing. Work hard but stop and smell the roses. Next Stop LONDON BABY!”

She followed it up with a “cupcakes and smelling the roses kinda day” post in Kensington and Chelsea.

Ding was a breakout star on the last season of Married at First Sight Australia, where she was matched with Mitch Eynaud.

She was rumoured to be dating co-star Brent Vitiello after the reunion, with a radio show even sending the pair on a romantic getaway to Far North Queensland.

Vitiello is now smitten with his new girlfriend, though, which leaves Ding potentially open to dating in London…?
