Series five of Love Island is now underway with plenty of drama to keep fans entertained at the sun-drenched villa in Mallorca - while girls from last year's series turned heads as they headed out on the town here in Manchester.
Ellie found romance on the 2018 dating show with socialite Charlie Brake, whose grandfather is the founder of food distribution company Brakes, but they split weeks after leaving the villa.
While viewers were hoping that Alexandra would strike up a bond with Dr Alex George, the show's 'Dr Love' but unfortunately the dream fell short and they proved incompatible.
Ellie wore her hair in beachy waves as she attended the Say it With Diamonds store launch, wowing fans in a cream off-the-shoulder dress.
"Stunning!" exclaimed fans as she shared a photo of her look on Instagram.
Newcastle-native Ellie recently moved to Hale after finding life in London not to her taste.
“When we got out the show I felt that I needed to move to London but it was the worst thing ever,” she explained previously.
And she's in good company because Olivia Attwood, Kendall Rae Knight and Stephanie Lam from the 2018 series of Love Island have also moved to the area.
And Ellie looked chic in a white one-shoulder blazer dress with metallic heels.
"Stunning," praised Geordie Shore and I'm a Celebrity favourite Vicky Pattison.
"Loveee the dress," said another follower.
The girls were joined at the launch by Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent, who is expecting her first baby with Sheffield United player Kean Bryan.
Brooke, who plays Sophie Webster in Corrie , looked radiant in a nude-coloured skirt and distressed-effect denim jacket with a colourful T-shirt and coordinating lip and nail colour.
Also in the area to do a spot of furniture shopping, at Arighi Bianchi in Macclesfield, was another Love Island star, Kem Cetinay who won the ITV2 show in 2017 with Amber Davies and struck up a bromance with Chris Hughes.
