Ella Willis turned heads on series thirteen of Made in Chelsea when she first joined the cast.
The blonde beauty returned a year later for the fourteenth series, with the cameras following her relationship with fellow cast member Julius Cowdrey.
While we got a short glimpse into the then-student’s life for a couple of years, she hasn’t returned since. So who is Ella Willis and what do we know about her?
Who is Ella Willis?
Ella Willis appeared on series thirteen and fourteen of the E4 reality series. She was known for being Julius Cowdrey’s girlfriend.
She starred on the show when she was just 19 years old, and balanced her studies at the University of Edinburgh with filming for the show. At the time, Ella was studying for a degree in business.
Originally from London, Ella’s parents, though separated, are both also hard workers. Her mother is in alternative medicine, while her dad works in finance.
Speaking to The Tab, she explained: “During term time I travel between Edinburgh and London roughly once a week.
I usually get the train down to London on a Thursday afternoon and come back up to Edinburgh on Tuesday mornings and go straight to university from the station! It is tiring but I love doing both so I make it happen.”

Now, Ella works as a marketing executive at a London-based company. Previously, she has also worked as an investment analyst.
With her good looks and brains, the people of Made in Chelsea were certainly in illustrious company. She also gathered a whole host of fans during her time on the show, and now has close to 60,000 Instagram followers.

During her time on the show, Ella Willis said that she was “really getting along with Julius, Fred, Mimi and Toff. They’re awesome people.”
However, viewers were most interested in her relationship with aspiring musician Julius Cowdrey. The musician had even gone as far as to introduce Ella to his mother – the three of them all went for dinner together in a lovely scene.

However, things went south for the couple when Julius admitted that he’d gone home with someone else after one of his gigs.
Speaking to castmate Fredrik, Julius explained: “I hooked up with someone at the weekend. Do you think Ella will be p***ed off?”
The answer to this was – quite understandably – yes. Though Julius broke the news to his girlfriend as gently as he could, Ella was shocked and appalled by his actions, and the two didn’t last long afterwards.
Where is Julius Cowdrey now?
Since his cheating scandal on Made in Chelsea, Julius Cowdrey spent some time out of the spotlight.
In 2019, the former reality star revealed that he had become disheartened by the music industry. He also said he was still struggling with heartbreak.
Julius said: “I have been heartbroken not just by the music industry but also by the girl I thought was the love of my life.
But I am proud to say I have come out on the other side a stronger and more mature individual.”
The 28-year-old poured his feelings into two new songs.

This year, though Julius rejoined the Made in Chelsea cast for series 21. In March, he teased fans on the new series of the reality show.
Though he said that fans might be waiting for him to find love again, that’s not what this series had in store for him.
“I guess to be honest my main story this series, which can sound boring but it isn’t, is my friendships. Some friendships had to be re-checked out and some were brand new. There was, however, a clash with one of my best friends in here.”
