Celebs Go Dating viewers hit out at Ella Morgan as she takes savage swipe at co-star
ELLA Morgan has been slammed by Celebs Go Dating fans after making a cutting dig at her co-star.
Ella, 29, took the savage swipe in the latest episode of the E4 reality show and it didn’t go unnoticed by shocked viewers at home.
While lying on a bed after being sent to a ‘retreat’, Ella was shown chatting to Gogglebox’s Stephen Lustig-Webb about newbie Lauryn Goodman.
Stephen admitted he didn’t know who Lauryn was, to which Ella replied: “I don’t think she’s got, say, a talent.”
She continued: “The only reason I know who she is, is ‘cos she’s had two children with a footballer.
“The thing is, he has a wife who I think has stayed loyal to him.”
The pair then giggled before Ella told Stephen they shouldn’t be “b***ing” about Lauryn, who was downstairs in their retreat accommodation.
Fans were so shocked by what Ella – whose own claim to fame is tying the knot with a stranger on TV show Married At First Sight – had said.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer wrote: “‘I don’t think she’s got a talent’ IS CRAZY FROM Ella. Ella I like you but what is your talent other than getting married on telly?”
Another added: “Has Ella just said ‘I don’t think she’s got a talent’ with a straight face…”
And a third chimed in: “Ella saying Lauryn doesn’t have a talent on Celebs Go Dating Really? From her? In fact, do any of them?”
Lauryn, 33, is the older sister of Chloe Goodman, who appeared on MTV‘s Ex On The Beach in 2014 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
She is a model and influencer and runs her own fashion brand.
But it was her relationship with married footballer Kyle Walker that made her a household name after it came to light they have known each other for a decade and have two children together.
In July, the former lovers were embroiled in a high profile child maintenance court case, where the England player accused her of “insatiable greed” after the judge ruled in his favour.
During court proceedings, It was revealed the ex-mistress had been using the footballer as an “open-ended cheque book” after giving birth.
But, Lauryn has since claimed the millionaire footballer told her he had never “for a second” been sorry they had got together and wanted to “have my cake and eat it”.
