TWO Towie stars have revealed they knew about Dan Edgar cheating on Ella Rae Wise before she found out.
In a clip from the show's upcoming series 33 premiere, Roman Hackett, James 'Diags' Bennewith and newcomer Livvy Jay discuss Dan's infidelities.
Sitting around a pool in Cyprus, Roman was left confused after Livvy branded him "such an idiot".
When Diags explained that he'd had sex with someone else, Roman replied: "This is Dan Edgar, mate."
Diags replied: "It sounds like typical Dan Edgar. From the outside point of view, everyone's looking in.
"And probably from the other girls, probably from everyone's going to be like, 'Oh, there we go, it's Dan again. Dan does it again.'

"But, the God honest truth is that this time, he rang me when it first happened, before anyone knew, and he was like, 'Oh, I've made a mistake, I think it's going to come out, I need to come clean, I need to say, do you know what I mean?'"
Livvy added: "I spoke to him about it, and I feel like he really feels like he messed up and wants to make up to Ella."
Roman asked: "Wait, so Dan actually has feelings for Ella?" to which they confirmed that he appears to.
Earlier this summer, Ella took a swipe at "cheat" Dan and told the hunk: "No more bulls**t."

However, they called time quickly on their romance.
The Sun then revealed how Ella was left furious after finding out Dan had hooked up with Hannah Rally while she was in Dubai.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun in July, Ella said that their budding relationship was poisoned by all the background noise.
She said: “When we got home from Bali and when we’d finished filming, I’d still see him and we were pretty close.”
But it did get to the part where communication was lost massively and we were playing things down so much and not actually being 100 per cent truthful with our feelings.”

EXOTIC ROMANCE
Sparks flew when Dan and Amber jetted off on a cast trip in Bali back in March.
In a flirty chat, they described their situation as two singletons having a "bit of fun".
Awkwardly, Dan's ex Amber Turner was on the same trip but, surprisingly, she took him to one side and gave the burgeoning romance her blessing.
CHEATING CLAIMS
Dan was accused of having a fling with his ex-girlfriend Hannah Rally behind Ella Rae's back while on holiday in Dubai.
Ella Rae was said to be furious by Dan's actions and is said to have made her feelings known to Hannah.
BITTER FEUD
Ella Rae and Hannah engaged in a social media spat, trading digs at each other through memes and barbed comments.
The most cutting of which was saw Hannah share a post of a human hand holding up a miniature man by his genitals.
It was accompanied by the caption: "Your man was in my DMs again sis, I believe this is yours."
Hannah added: "More than dms but now you can get out of mine love @ellaraewise [kiss blowing emojis]."
SINGLE LIFE
In May, a representative for Dan told us that the Towie hunk wasn't in a relationship.
Days later Ella Rae confirmed the two had split and declared she's happy being single, telling fans in a Q&A: "Yes and happily single. Focusing on myself and my brand."
