Celebs Go Dating and MAFS star Ella Morgan: 'Paul Brunson goes hard on you'
Ella met Paul's "wrath" plenty of times.
Ella Morgan is on the lookout for love and has turned to the Celebs Go Dating agency to find just that – and there is one familiar face who will be helping her along the way.
Best known for her historical appearance on Married at First Sight UK, Ella was given expert advice from Paul C Brunson and now at the agency, he will be giving her advice all over again, as he stars on both shows.
In an exclusive chat with RadioTimes.com, Ella opened up on what it was like to get advice from Paul and how it differed from her time on MAFS.
"It was really nice," she said. "This time around he got to just see Ella and see me, rather than when we did MAFS together he saw me in a relationship with Nathaniel and with JJ, so he didn't really get to know, I guess, me and my personality."
She went on to explain that she and Paul "get on really well" and that Paul became very "protective" over her whilst on the programme.

Ella said: "I think he was quite protective of me, he actually said that and was like, 'I'm so protective of you out of everyone', because we have a relationship anyway."
But despite their friendship, that didn't stop Paul from calling out Ella if needed during the show.
Ella admitted that Paul "does go hard on you" and that she "faced the wrath quite a few times".

But why did Ella decide to put her trust in experts to find love yet again? Well, life is too short according to her!
'I think as a trans person it is really hard to date," she told RadioTimes.com. "I used to date prior to going on Married at First Sight and since then I haven't really dated.
"I'm one of these people that always just thinks life's too short, and I think you should say yes to everything. So I was like, 'Is this cliché what I'm doing? Like, another dating show?'
"But actually, I don't see it as a dating show, because I feel like it's been life changing for me and I think this series there is a lot more about the celebs and our journeys and who we are as people, rather than being just us going on date after date."
