This isn’t Ella’s first time making history, as she also became the very first trans contestant to take part in Channel 4's Married at First Sight last year.
"It's the first time Channel 4 or anyone has really done this, and we've had very limited representation in the media at all, especially in the UK," she told Digital Spy at the time.
"And I mean, when it comes to reality shows, apart from Nadia [Almada] on Big Brother, I feel like there's not really been that much representation. So it feels amazing.
"I knew I was going to get hate from very uneducated, one-minded people... People are saying things like 'You're a man' or 'You're this, you're that'. And it's like, it's not like I haven't heard it before. But I know that hopefully a lot of those people might change their minds, and change their perception of trans people once they watch the show."
