MAFS star Ella Ding has opened up about her upcoming role on the UK reality show Made In Chelsea, and slammed people for calling it a “PR stunt”.
Ella was a fan favourite of this year’s season of MAFS Australia and recently filmed a stint on Made In Chelsea while she was in England. It’s been established that she will feature as Miles Nazaire’s love interest on the show.
Since the news of Ella’s new show went viral, some social media users have accused the romance between her and Miles of being a PR stunt.
Ella addressed the claims on her podcast Sit With Us that she shares with former co-star Dom. “People were saying that this was a PR stunt,” she said.
“I can reassure you it is not a PR stunt,” she continued. “And I think that you guys will see that when it does come to air.”
Dom added, “No one would put themselves through what Ella did and putting everything on the line.”
“Not only your name, but your heart, your soul, everything… No one would do that for a PR stunt, unless they are literally that desperate, and there’s no desperation here.”

Ella announced that she would be joining the Made in Chelsea cast last week. “Cats out of the bag! @e4chelsea Taking risks again for a connection… am I doomed ? What an experience so far it’s been in London with the MIC fam,” she wrote on Instagram.

And, Ella isn’t the only season nine MAFS alum that is set to appear in an upcoming reality show. Al Perkins who was another fan favourite on the most recent season has been papped filming Love Island Australia in Spain.
Daily Mail Australia papped Al surrounded by a bevvy of bikini-clad beauties in the show’s Spanish villa, which you can view here. To add fuel to the fire, his normally-active Instagram account has been silent since August 23rd.
Interestingly, Al’s former on-screen wife, Sam Moitzi, took to her Instagram stories today to question how participants from the 2022 season of MAFS were able to avoid a clause in their contracts that states they can’t star on additional reality TV shows.
“We’re actually not allowed to apply for any reality tv shows for over a year of the last episode airing, so that’s quite a long way away,” she said.
