Wise was wish Edgar until just before she entered the Big Brother house. “We are not together. And it’s really, really sad that we’re not together. We split up a week ago,” she said to The Sun before entering the house. “It has nothing to do with Big Brother. It was a decision that I had to make because I didn’t feel that we were getting things that we wanted out of each other.”
You may have also seen Wise in some of her other shows. In 2022, she appeared in Ex on the Beach and in 2023, she appeared in The Challenge UK.

Ella Rae Wise on Celebrity Big Brother
Wise joined the cast of Celebrity Big Brother in 2025.
“I think the most I’m looking forward to has to be meeting and getting to know new people and learning new things about myself and others, as well and being out of my comfort zone and under pressure, weirdly because I deal with pressure really well,” she said before entering the house. “I’m quite relaxed but it might be a bit different being in a house with loads of people that I normally wouldn’t spend time with, or know in normal day to day life.”
She added, “I’d like to think I would be an easy housemate to get on with. I’m quite a big team player. I always want people to feel happy and comfortable around me. Even though I am a little bit blonde I do feel like I have a really understanding way about me. I do also have quite a caring side that I don’t feel has been shown to its full extent yet. I’m really looking forward to being my 100% genuine self in all ways.”
So far, Wise has made headlines for her so-called “feud” with fellow housemate Chris Hughes, as well as her conversation with JoJo Siwa about her sexuality. While talking about coming out, Siwa said, “They say if you have the thought like, ‘I wonder if I am gay,’ you’re gay,” to which Wise replied, “Oh my god I have had that thought quite a bit.”
