She soon set her sights on Liam Cavanagh – even manipulating things so she could see off love rival Chas Dingle.

Her behaviour has seen fans become convinced she is connected to serial killer Meena Jutla.

Now in tonight’s episode she has appeared to open up about her relationship with her own parents.

After Liam opened up about Leanna’s death, Ella finally decided to let Liam in.

“My mum was never really around so I don’t think about her,” she told him.

He asked whether her father was around for her and she told him: “For a while yeah but I don’t speak to him anymore. 

“We just never really got on. I reckon that’s why I don’t mention those bits of my life. And I’m just used to it so it feels normal.”

But is Ella telling the truth? And could her parents be connected to the village?

Next week another aspect of Ella’s secretive life will be revealed when Manpreet discovers that she’s been sleeping in her car.

Ella then accepts an offer to move into the spare room at Tenants cottage but while moving in desperately tries to hide photographs from a helping Mandy.

And later when a photographer approaches her and Liam, she refuses to let him take a picture and rushes off sparking intrigue from Mandy.

Ella will later be seen visiting a care home – but who is she visiting? And what other dark secrets is Ella hiding?
