Ellie Bramwell

Ellie grew up in Stockport, just outside Manchester, the youngest of four, with a dad who ran a five-a-side league and a mum who did everyone's nails at the kitchen table. She played netball for the county as a teenager, trained as a personal trainer at nineteen and built up a small client list at a gym near Piccadilly. She applied to a summer villa dating show on a dare from her clients and became the contestant everyone quoted: blunt, funny and always first in the pool. Since leaving the villa she does brand shoots for swimwear and gym wear, still coaches three early-morning clients a week, drinks her tea far too strong and plans every night out down to which shoes she can actually dance in.
