DAN EDGAR made a beeline for a stunning brunette on a Towie cast flight to Portugal in front of “fuming” ex Ella Rae Wise.
The Dancing On Ice star, 35, caused a stir on a Jet2 flight from London Standard to Faro in Portugal after making a bold move mid-journey.
An onlooker told The Sun there were “sparks flying” – but not everyone was enjoying the in-flight entertainment.
CBB ex Ella, 24, was accused of shooting “death stares” to Dan during the entire conversation as Love Island: All Stars couple Sammy Root and Elma Pazar watched on.
An image obtained by The Sun shows Dan locked in conversation with the stunning brunette, who he chatted to for 15 minutes after the pair were “drawn to each other” in the departure queue.
A source told The Sun: “We saw Dan Edgar chatting away to a woman who was on a hen do on our flight – the plane was full of the entire Towie cast.
“One of the girls from the hen do, he took a liking to. He was with her for quite a fair bit of the flight and his cast members didn’t seem too happy.
“You could tell it was a flirty exchange – they were laughing and touching. There were definitely sparks flying.
“Sat near where they were talking was Sammy Root, Elma and Ella Wise. Ella was giving death stares – it looked like she was fuming. It was a very entertaining flight.
“We noticed they were drawn to each other – we could see them eyeing each other in the departure queue.
“It looked like socials were exchanged so it seems their conversation went really well.”
Dan’s potential new romance comes as the Towie cast jetted off to Portugal to kick off filming for the long-running ITV reality series’ 15th anniversary.
He had been dating CBB star Ella in the run-up to her stint on the show in April.
While the last series saw Ella and Dan become “official” ahead of her stint on Celebrity Big Brother, it was revealed on the show that the two had split “amicably”.
The pair now face the first reunion since their split as the cast film scenes in the Algarve for the latest season, out later this year.
Sophie Kasaei, boyfriend Jordan Brook, Junaid Ahmed and boyfriend Joe Blackman also join them in Portugal.
Towie has been approached for comment.
Meanwhile, Matilda Draper and Jodie Wells have been soaking up the sun at the luxury resort’s pool.
Elma Pazar, Harry Derbridge, Amber Turner and Dani Imbert, AMY Childs and Lauren Goodger are also on the trip.
Dan is also set to face off with another of his exes – 31-year-old Amber Turner, who has since moved on from the Dancing On Ice star with Kent-based hunk Archie Chandler.
The pair have been together since May last year, with sources reporting that Amber has finally found “the one”.
