Addressing the reaction, Ella said to Danny: "Why is everyone so serious today? Pats made me feel really bad about saying that. But I didn't reply to the DMs. I didn't reply."
Patsy added: "I think it's sometimes also good to flag up because everyone gets carried away. You do have to be protective of yourself because you might regret it in the morning. You know how things can go and it's not nice."
Following the remarks, Ella assured that the message on social media had been received from the celebrity - whom she didn't name - before he had been married. She said: "Oh no, this was obviously before he was married."
Viewers shared their thoughts on X. One person wrote: "Ella totally backtracked when Patsy called her out on it." Another said similarly in a post tonight: "Ella changing her story after Patsy rightly so told her not to mention anything about a married man. 'Oh he wasn't married then' please."

Some viewers instead appeared disappointed that Patsy shut down the discussion. One person wrote: "I get what Patsy is trying to say but I also wanted to know who slid into Ella's DMs smh." Another said: "Oh Ella get yourself back on the Challenge! You can share that juicy gossip on there without the likes of Patsy getting upset."
It isn't the first time that Ella has spoken about her personal life on Celebrity Big Brother. She last week just days into the experience whilst speaking to and about her latest relationship coming to an end recently.
Ella had been in a relationship with TOWIE co-star Dan Edgar prior to entering the Big Brother house. Last week though, it was , with Ella then telling her co-stars that it happened "like a week ago".
After saying that she was "alright," Ella was seen in tears as the other two housemates comforted her. She said: "Thank you. It's just one of them things. I just feel like an idiot because everyone ... I just knew he weren't gonna be what I wanted him to be. And I thought maybe he might for me but he's just ..."
She told them: "And I don't want to waste years trying to change someone. Do you know what I mean?" Angellica replied: "That just shows strength." Ella then commented: "Just have to let it be. It doesn't mean we can't be friends."
Ella had aannounced that her 18 month relationship with Dan had come to an end shortly before entering the Big Brother house last week. She said that while their chemistry was undeniable, than just physical attraction.
She told : "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." Ella said: "We can be best friends, but if something's missing, what are we wasting our time for?"
Sharing her thoughts, Ella suggested that Dan is "very set in his ways," adding that she can't "expect someone to change". She added: "And if he's comfortable in how he is and if he thinks what he gives in a relationship is enough, that's okay because that can be enough for someone." Ella continued by stating that it's "just not enough" for her though.
Dan has since . He said in a statement: "The past week has seen a strange turn of events and things have been said that I didn’t really want to comment on, but to put it straight, Ella and I agreed to go our separate ways amicably last week, and were speaking right up until she left to go into the house."
He added in the statement issued last week: "I think we both have our reasons for why it wasn't working out, but there are certain things in life I would rather keep private. I wish her all the best and hope she enjoys her experience."
