So, who is Jack McDermott? What happened with him, Chloe, and Ella?

Jack and Ella Rae Wise’s relationship

When Ella joined the TOWIE cast, she was in a relationship with Jack McDermott. It is unconfirmed when exactly they split, but the couple had been together for four years by the time the separated.

Ella explained in episode 1: “He [Jack] was my young childhood love and I thought he that was going to be there forever and I was going to get married to him, have his kids, everything.”

As Ella is 19 years old, it is likely Jack McDermott is around the same age and they could have met while at school. Ella would have been 15 when they got together. However, one report states that Jack is 28 years old. This must mean that he was 24 when the couple got together.
