MAFS fan favourite Ella Ding has said she’s interested in being part of another reality show.
Ella was a participant in this year’s season of MAFS and went on to appear in the British reality series Made in Chelsea. While the 28-year-old had a fairly solid relationship with her on-screen ‘husband’ throughout Married at First Sight, Mitch, the pair broke up shortly after the show wrapped.
Regardless of not managing to find love on MAFS, Ella admitted she’d be interested in giving reality TV another try.
“I’d love to do I’m A Celebrity,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia. “I feel like that would be an amazing experience, it would be super challenging and outside my comfort zone. It would be very different.
“I think reality TV is great, I really do. I have fun and I’m always just learning from it.”
Shortly after MAFS finished airing, Ella had a brief stint on Made in Chelsea, and although the episodes haven’t aired yet, Ella has revealed that she will be Miles Nazaire’s love interest on the show. Comparing her time on MAFS Australia to Made in Chelsea, the reality star said the British show sometimes didn’t feel real.
“It’s more like they’re acting and I’m definitely not an actress,” she said. “They make it look like it’s a movie and it’s pretty amazing, but there were definitely times where it was like, ‘action’, ‘cut’, ‘redo’ and I was like, ‘Guys, I’m only going to say this line once’.

“I wouldn’t do that style of TV again, but I would do reality TV again. I don’t know, they say the third time’s a charm! I would really have to be careful because both times really took it out of me and I invested a lot of my energy into both men so I’d just have to be really careful.”
Ella added that while her time on Made in Chelsea wasn’t necessarily positive, she’s grateful for the experience.
“Maybe it was because I was in another country, I was by myself, I was going on a show that these people already had solid foundations on,” she details. “It was pretty lonely out there and then when things kind of just happened on the show, it was just so confusing in the brain and I was like, ‘I’m ready to come home’.
“But again, I can always take away the positives. Even though it was one of the hardest things I’ve done in such a short period, there were still such amazing memories and it still was so amazing and I learned so much and I grew so much and all that stuff.”
