Rebecca Kenny-Smith, Creative Director, Unscripted, Objective Entertainment said of the upcoming series: 'This is TOWIE’s first trip to Portugal and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable getaway! 

'We're anticipating lots of Towie antics in the Algarve and what better way to celebrate the milestone 15th anniversary. It’s fantastic to start the new series with a burst of sunshine and then we’re back in Essex for more drama.'

Other cast members on the upcoming series include Amy Childs, Billy Debosq and the twins, Joe Blackman, Junaid and Chloe Meadows.

Also slated to appear are Harry Derbidge, Sammy Root, Dan Edgar, Jodie Wells, Diags, Becks & Dani. 

Ella recently hinted that scenes in Portugal could be 'explosive' as she confirmed to MailOnline she would be joining the cast for the upcoming 15th anniversary special.

'I'm so excited! I feel like it's going to be explosive. The last couple of series have been pretty tame, so it's time for a big one. And everything's just better in the sun,' she teased.

Last month, Ella opened up about her split from her TOWIE ex-boyfriend Dan in a rare interview.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the break-up, she shared: 'I'd known about going on the show for a while and honestly thought I was going in with a happy relationship.

'But things happened behind closed doors that I couldn't get over. For once, I put myself first.'

Despite their relationship coming to an end, Ella insists things ended amicably, adding: 'Nothing bad happened, there was no cheating or anything, and we still speak. 

'In fact, we messaged the other day. I hope we stay friends.' 

Viewers saw Ella break down in tears inside the famous Celebrity Big Brother house as she opened up about the breakup just days into filming. 

Reflecting on how vulnerable she felt, Ella added: 'It took a lot of courage for me to be open up and vulnerable about my relationship on the show. 

'I was very emotional but honest about how I felt at the time.

'I also didn't know what was happening outside the show and what he was saying, so it took a lot for me to be so open on TV, where everyone will have an opinion.'

The reality icon, who left the show in a triple eviction alongside Patsy Palmer and Angellica Bell, also revealed she was surprised by the lack of support from her fellow TOWIE cast mates after her exit.

She said: 'I only got messages from Freddie (Bentley), Saffron (Lempriere), and Dani (Imbert), like those are my three best friends. But no one else, which surprised me, I'm not going to lie. 

'It was a bit sad because I would've messaged them if they were on a show, but I didn't hear anything.

'But then again, I don't know what they were going through at the time, so I don't hold it against them. I just know I would've messaged.'
