‘How have I gone from this to this in a week? I tell you us trans dolls are stronger than weightligters. We are the blueprint.’

Showing off the results of her surgery, she wrote: ‘One week post hair transplant and this is the glam we’ve managed to pull off. I have the best team I swear.’      

Ella’s surgical procedure comes after she reportedly split from her boyfriend Alex James Ali.

The reality star met Alex during her stint on Celebs Go Dating earlier this year but the pair are no longer together, according to The Sun. 

The publication claims that things have ended after she accused him of being unfaithful and messaging other women.

A source told the publication: ‘Ella is absolutely heartbroken and disappointed but the trust is gone now for her. On the outside they appeared so happy and loved up but there was cracks growing on the inside.

‘Fans absolutely adored them and that initially spurred them on to try and make things work and they even planned to move into Alex’s house at some point.

‘She’s going into the New Year single with a positive mind frame but it has come at the worst time with Christmas and her birthday just days away.’

Ella has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. 

The trans activist found love with boyfriend Alex after sparking up a connection on Celebs Go Dating.

Speaking to the Daily Record last month, Ella gushed about her new romance and admitted her joy at finding ‘the one’ at last.

She said: ‘He’s honestly incredible I can’t say a bad word about him, he’s amazing. I’m just so glad I have found someone after all these years of being single and everything I have gone through.’

They became official shortly after filming wrapped on the hit E4 show.

Before Alex she was linked to Strictly hunk Bobby Brazier.

But in September Bobby rebuffed her advances as she appeared to make an attempt to rekindle things at the National Television Awards.

The pair, who were first introduced in May when the 21-year-old, who plays Freddie Slater in Eastenders, was seen locking lips with Ella at the TV Baftas.

And at the raucous afterparty, which was held at the O2’s American Express Lounge, the Ella made a beeline for the actor once again, but this time Bobby was ‘having none of it,’ according to a fellow reveller.

Revealing the ‘cringe’ moment, an onlooker told MailOnline: ‘Ella was keen to show off her dress to Bobby and clearly hoped that sparks would fly again, but Bobby wasn’t interested and gave her the cold shoulder.

‘He was polite, but firmly shut down any suggestion that the pair of them would enjoy another drunken snog.

‘Bobby made his excuses before darting across the room and hiding from Ella.’

Speaking about her dalliance with Bobby, Ella said: ‘We had a nice time, but now I’m putting everything into this (Celebs Go Dating). 

‘Yes, we’re friendly. Bobby’s a lovely boy and we get on really well. He’s aware I’m doing this show.’ 

Recently Bobby, the son of television presenter Jeff Brazier and the late Big Brother star Jade Goody, was spotted kissing X Factor star Virginia Hampson, also 21, while in the streets of London however he is believed to be single.

Following last year’s Strictly, in which was a finalist, Bobby was seen out with Ellie Leach, who won the glitter ball. However, sources close to both parties insist they were only ever good friends.

Bobby won the prestigious rising star award at last year’s NTAs and went on to become somewhat of a national treasure while appearing on Strictly.
