LOVE Island’s Ella Thomas has opened up about her surprise friendship with a HUGE US reality star after they were spotted partying together.
Back in March Ella, 23, was seen cosying up next to KUWTK star Kylie Jenner at Kylie’s perfume launch, Cosmic, in Los Angeles.
Love Island fans were left scratching their heads over how the pair know each other.
Speaking on the Saving Grace podcast, Ella said: “So I work with Kylie Cosmetics a lot, and they invited me to go to LA because Kylie was launching her new perfume Cosmic.
“So they took me and just one other girl from the UK to LA.
“It was fun, it was a little vibe. We went to the launch party, you know Kylie personally invited us.
“She personally chose every single person, the team were like told all the girls that they work with, choose who you want to come.”
She added: “She was so lovely. She was honestly such a babe!”
The reality star managed to chat to the mum-of-two while at the event – and Kylie’s pals made a reference to one of Ella’s iconic sayings in the villa.
Ella said: “Kris was doing her thing, Kylie came on in with her friends and she was so lovely.
“She walked in, she said hi to everyone. She was so nice. We spoke to her, I mean all the girls wanted to speak to her, but we spoke to her and she was so much fun.
“All of her friends were shouting at me ‘shut it down, shut it down’ , I was like no way!”
She added: “She [Kylie] didn’t say ‘shut it down’, her friends did.
“They were like ‘oh my gosh Ella shut it down’.
“I don’t know if she watched it herself, but she was like thanks for coming, she was like ‘let’s do shots, let’s do shots’.”
Kylie’s friends were talking about the moment when Ella told love interest Tyrique Hyde to “shut it down” with his former flame Ella Barnes.
Scottish beauty Ella shot to fame on the tenth series of Love Island last year.
The model placed third alongside Ty on the ITV2 show.
The pair seemed to be going from strength to strength but briefly went their separate ways back in November.
Months later in February the former couple split for a second time.
A source close to the couple told The Sun: “They have tried really hard but just been having constant arguments.
“At the end of day they want different things and it’s too hard to make it work. They are saying it’s over for good this time and there is no going back.”
Just last month fans spotted a clue that the two are back together as the pair both uploaded photos on a shopping spree in London.
Fans previously accused the pair of “faking” their break-up.
