The 25-year-old, who joined the ITVBe show in 2019, has had a very on/off relationship with the hunk over the past 12 months.
Ella Rae and Dan, 35, got together for the first time while filming in Bali for the 33rd series of the programme back in January 2024.
Following on from that, the former couple broke up a number of times, but as TOWIE fans will know, the pair recently
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail about if she still talks to her former flame, Ella said: 'No we don't need to speak.
'We don't really have anything to say to each other anymore, we just left it as amicable and that's about it.'

Now the reality star, who took part in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, is keen to focus on herself rather than get into another relationship.
Ella added: 'My dating life at the moment is non-existent. Not happy about it when it's not non-existent, I'm gonna be quite honest. I'm just focusing on myself.
'Look at the end of the day, I went away for a month and I really thought, and I stayed off of social media and I really thought about what I want in my life and the way that I want to go down the road of what way that my career can go down.
'And it's not only that, like what I want out of a relationship and also what I want to build, what I want to do for me. If that makes sense...
'So going away was the best thing and it come around at the best time as well, like I've had a hell of a lot going on this year, I've had an amazing year and at the same time I've had an amazing year, I've also had like quite an emotional year too.
'But I do also think that when I went away and I had that time to think, I did really think about what I wanna do in my life, and it made me strip back, now this is time to focus on you.
'And at the end of the day when a man comes into my life, then he will come naturally. I won't need to go out and look for it, I just need to focus on me, my mind, my body, my soul, my work, my career and that's something that I want to do.
'I just want to level up in the game that I'm in.'
The 25-year-old, who joined the ITVBe show in 2019, has had a very on/off relationship with the hunk over the past 12 months.
Ella Rae and Dan had a very emotional chat during the finale of the latest series.
Breaking down in tears, Ella said to him: 'I don't want to hate you.'
Dan replied: 'I hate the way this has turned out, just as much as you do.
'Whether you believe that or not.
'I find it just as hard being in this place today as you do, trust me.
'Like it's been horrible, but whatever went down earlier in that auction, I didn't like it.'
Ella said: 'I'm not ready to meet anyone else. I'm still hurt that it never worked.
'And I wish I weren't.'

'I feel frustrated at the fact things went the way that they went, and that it didn't work for whatever reason,' Dan replied.
He went on to explain: 'Away from all of the chaos and the madness, and our day-to-day lives, we clearly had something, there have something there..
'But when you throw the rest of it into it, it seemed to not work.'
Ella said: 'Yeah, but we loved each other.'
'Yeah, of course,' Dan replied.
Earlier this year Celebrity Big Brother viewers saw the star get emotional as she spoke about her break up with Dan.
She took part in the programme alongside the likes of Angellica Bell, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes.
Reflecting on how vulnerable she felt, Ella previously told us: '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.'
Ella has previously been linked to the likes of Jordan Brooks, Pete Wicks, Roman Hackett, Kris Boyson and Callum Izzard.
Meanwhile Dan came out of a six-year relationship with co-star Amber Turner in May 2023.
Strictly viewers slam judges ‘diabolical’ scoring after Thomas Skinner’s Paso Doble liennhi
STRICTLY viewers have slammed the judges 'diabolical' scoring after Thomas Skinner's Paso Doble dance.
Thomas, 34, who confessed to The Sun on Sunday that he had an affair, has been partnered with Welsh dance pro Amy Dowden.
Thomas kicked off his paso doble routine in spectacular fashion, carrying a dazzling Amy onto the dance floor.
But the sparkles failed to distract some judges as they were left far from impressed by the performance.
Anton Du Beke commented: "I need a bit more next week."
Craig Revel Horwood said: "It was very square, flat and stumpy and it was more tin soldier than it was matador. It wasn't for me at all."
Strictly
Motsi Mabuse pointed out: "What we needed was more shaping."
Shirley Ballas chimed in: "I was quite impressed, well done."
However while Craig scored him a 2, Motsi scored him a 4. Shirley scored him a 5., and Anton scored him a 5 giving him an overall score of 16.
Viewers flooded social media with comments about the judges being too easy on the newcomer.
Taking to X, one wrote: "Thomas skinner only being 1 point behind Balvinder is actually diabolical #strictly."
"Strictly you have Balvinda who's amazing, then you get Thomas who's not, but gets 5s whatever judges!!!" said another unhappy fan.
Another added: "Shirley giving Thomas more than Balvinder, someone make that make sense."
While a fourth said: "Anton thinking Amber Davies was only 1 point better than Thomas Skinhead Skinner is asinine to me."
Just days before last night's show, Thomas said: I’m absolutely buzzing about Strictly.
"I’ve been working so hard with Amy and enjoying dancing more than I thought.

Thomas has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons after admitting he cheated on wife Sinéad just weeks after their wedding in May 2022.
But the reality TV star insisted his marriage is “stronger than ever” and was all about family values last week as Amy joined them for dinner.
He declared he was determined to make it far in the competition, saying: “I am not letting Amy down, I am gonna work so hard and can’t wait for you to all see my live dance this Saturday night.”
But viewers have voiced their sympathy for Amy after she was partnered with Thomas amid his off-screen controversies.
But tough Amy, who has overcome breast cancer, has vowed to make a success of Thomas on the dancefloor.
