A spokesman for Ellie told MailOnline: ‘Ellie is happy to comment to clear up what has been said which is completely untrue.
‘Ellie is out on holiday in Dubai with a group of friends. They all went out for drinks and met up with another group of friends in which Jake was a part of that friend group.
‘At the end of the night a group of five male and female who are all in the same friend group went back to the apartment Jake is currently staying in.
‘Ellie did not go back to Jake’s on her own and would like to confirm all accusations made are completely false and untrue.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Yazmin Oukhellou for comment.
Ellie, who prevously dated Love Island star Jack Fincham, made a bombshell appearance on the show in Casa Amor to break up his romance with Dani Dyer, but failed and was later dumped from the villa.
While they had been dating for a year, Yazmin didn’t confirm her romance with Jake, who previously dated Lauren Goodger, until December 2021.
She took to Instagram to make things official with a photo of her and Jake cuddling together in Dubai, but covering his face with a heart eyed emoji.

Yazmin captioned the snap: ‘We’ve been through more than most. Had our ups & downs but I wouldn’t have us any other way.’
The pair previously dated briefly in 2019, before rekindling their relationship after Yazmin split from James Lock in February of this year.
Yazmin took to her Instagram Story to share videos of the couple kissing and revealed Jake’s face to the camera.
Addressing her followers she said: ‘So finally I’ve announced my boyfriend on Instagram. I’ve been keeping it a secret for how long?
‘It’s only been a year’ quipped Jake in response.
She continued: ‘Well I thought now he deserves that status, so I’ve announced it.’

Jake then hinted that the pair are expecting, saying: ‘Are you going to announce the pregnancy as well? May as well,’ as Yazmin gasped and covered her mouth in surprise.
He previously dated Yazmin’s co-star Lauren Goodger in 2015 while he was serving a jail sentence for armed robbery, but they split shortly after his release.
Meanwhile Yazmin dated James for two years until she announced: ‘James and I have split up amicably. I love James but we’re not good together.
‘It couldn’t go on the way it was so I told James we should end things and he agreed.’

Yazmin quit The Only Way Is Essex shortly afterwards and moved to the UAE for a fresh start, but soon found her way back to Essex and rejoined the show.
The Sun first reported that Yazmin and Jake had rekindled their romance back in May, with a source telling the publication: ‘Yazmin and Jake rekindled their relationship when they were both single again.
‘They got on really well a few years back but obviously things didn’t work out and they both moved on. When Yazmin split with James, Jake got back in touch and they started talking again.
‘From the outside it’s clear Yazmin and Jake are both smitten but they are taking it slowly.’
