Ella Morgan insists she's 'not a liar' in Celebs Go Dating showdown
What did you miss?
Celebs Go Dating viewers were gripped as Ella Morgan faced a tense showdown with three men.
The reality star has gone on the E4 dating show in a bid to find love, after making history on Channel 4 reality series Married At First Sight UK as its first trans bride. Thursday, 12 September's episode saw her growing close to Alex and everything was going swimmingly until two of her other love interests showed up.
Her date then descended into chaos as Morgan was accused of not being honest with former flame Reece.
What, how and why?
Before meeting up with Alex, Morgan made it clear that she felt a connection with him but told the show's dating experts that she was concerned about his stance on having children, because she definitely wanted them in the future but he didn't.
They managed to iron it out over a drink, with Alex hinting that he could change his position for the right person, and their blossoming romance seemed to be in the clear. But as Morgan and Alex entered the restaurant where they were having dinner she spotted dating guru Paul Carrick Brunson sat at her table with Sam and Reece, who she had previously felt a spark with.
A row broke out and Reece claimed Morgan had indicated that she wasn't interested in Alex, but she replied: "I'm not going to be accused of being a liar! One thing I am not is a liar."
"Your ego has been bruised because i have rejected you," she told him.

Turning to Carrick Brunson, Morgan insisted that Alex was the one she could "see a future with" and the others left, although Reece later returned for another chat after explaining that he wanted to leave on a good note.
What did Celebs Go Dating viewers say?
Fans could not get enough of the dramatic scene, with one posting on X that they were "really loving Ella" on the show. "The secondhand embarrassment/awkwardness is real," someone else said as they watched the showdown.
"Ella should go into politics," said another fan, who was apparently impressed by the way the star handled the awkward situation.
However, others pointed out that it was a lot of drama considering it was early days in all of the relationships.
"I want to feel bad for Reece but like he’s been on 2 dates with Ella and he KNEW she’s in a dating agency so surely he knew there was a possibility she might meet someone she clicked more with?" said one.
Another agreed: "This. He literally said he didn’t want her to go on more dates too, but the whole point of this is to go on dates. There’s no way the agents would’ve let her stick with Reece and not go through the whole experience."
"This show is laying it on seriously thick with all this talk of 'old flames' and 'exes'," someone else remarked. "They've been on one — maybe two — dates."
Celebs Go Dating airs on E4, and is streaming on Channel 4.
