“I’d need to have a wee think about what shows and movies I’d like to do.”
She also revealed the one star she would love to work with, adding: “I love Viola Davis. She is just an amazing actress and I’d definitely love to meet her.”
However, the model is hoping to follow in the footsteps of previous islanders after leaving the villa and would be open to a fashion brand collaboration in the future, saying: “Yeah definitely. I’m into my fashion, so I’d love to.”
Ahead of her villa appearance, Ella revealed she “can’t wait to get in there,” and that she and her parents are very “excited,” ahead of the series launch.
She said: “They’re excited for me. They know it’s an opportunity that I want to take to go on and they’re happy for me to do it. They said be myself and have fun with it.”
As a fan of the show, Ella also explained she is prepared for the attention that contestants receive following their appearances, adding: “I’ll guess that’s something I’ll have to face when I get out and see what’s to come.”
“From watching previous seasons, I kind of know what to expect so I’m prepared.”
