TOWIES’ Amber Turner breaks down in tears as ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar moves on with Ella Rae Wise: ‘He was my family’

Amber Turner broke down in tears during Sunday’s episode of The Only Way Is Essex after ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar moved on with their co-stars Ella Rae Wise.

As the reality show returns for a brand new series in Bali, the former couple, who split last May after six tumultuous years, have faced awkward run-ins.

Amber, 30, and Dan, 33, had an on-off relationship from 2017 and are currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their shared dog.

Despite Ella admitting she had been ‘snooping’ Dan ‘the whole time’ they were in Bali, Amber had managed to keep her cool until now.

Amber has now admitted that Dan and their pet, Oliver, were her family as she cried on the shoulders of her friends Elma Pazar and Chloe Meadows.

“The fact that they’re together, I think because I knew it was going to happen — that part doesn’t shock me,” she explained.

Elma replied: ‘You’ve done it all really, really well – almost too well.’

‘That’s why it makes me emotional, you’ve handled it so well that I feel like I’m taking on your feelings!’ Chloe said.

Amber went on to explain how Dan and their dog Oliver were ‘her family’ before breaking down at the thought of losing them.

“I’m already crying and I don’t even know why,” she explained.

The former couple have been involved in a bitter custody battle over their dog, with Dan taking over his care while Amber has been living in Dubai.

In previous episodes, Amber was seen telling Dan to ‘be free’ to hang out with her ‘if it makes him happy’ during an argument about their ‘shared’ pet, Oliver.

Within days of landing at the Balinese resort, fans saw a whirlwind of drama as Dan and Ella ignited an unexpected romance, catching everyone off guard.

Dan and Ella, 23, became close while filming the thirty-third series but are not believed to be serious.

Amber and Dan dated on and off from 2017 to 2023, after starting their relationship with Amber rocked by rumors that she had cheated on her boyfriend.

Amber reportedly split from a new partner after being devastated by a romance between Dan and Ella, who is a decade younger.

A source said The sun: ‘Amber had been seeing a guy based in Dubai for the past few months, but she recently called it a day with him.

‘She realized it was a rebound after her break-up with Dan and she didn’t see a future in the new relationship so she quietly ended things before heading to Bali to film TOWIE.’

The insider also claimed that Amber was hoping to rekindle things with Dan while they filmed the new series of TOWIE abroad, but his budding romance with Ella has gotten in the way.

The source added: ‘Amber had a breakdown on camera about it, sobbing to her co-stars, who will all star on the new series of TOWIE.’

The insider told how Amber didn’t expect to see Dan move on with another co-star and she found it hard to watch and now feels “devastated”.
