MARRIED At First Sight star Ella Morgan took a tumble after a long evening at a boozy awards ceremony.
The E4 reality TV beauty donned a bandeau bodycon wrap dress in a classy olive shade as she attended the Metro Pride Awards at The Grand Connaught Rooms in Holborn, London, on Wednesday.

Ella, 31, styled her brunette locks with chunky fringe in a chic up-do, with the front parts styled in ringlets framing her face.
She added a splash of dark red lipstick to accentuate her sophisticated look, paired with a red bag.
Yet after posing for stylish images on the red carpet, things took a downward turn after the long night.
The trans activist, who was the first ever transgender bride on MAFS, came a cropper with her skyscraper heels on the huge staircase at the event.
She was seen tripping on the step and hurtling forward, before catching herself on her hands.
Ella then glanced behind her to see if the cameras had captured her trip.
During the ceremony itself, Ella made a poignant statement as she urged broadcasters to educate audiences on LGBTQ+ issues.
She called on telly bosses to educate their audiences as she presented the Trailblazer Award at the first ceremony of its kind.
At the same shindig, RHOC alum Christine McGuinness was seen supported by BFF Duncan James as they linked arms and headed out of the event.
Her outing came just weeks after she looked unrecognisable with a swollen face.
It came after the Celebs Go Dating alum showcased the results of her secret hair transplant.
ON SCREEN
Meanwhile, Ella made her return to MAFS this week as part of the show’s explosive reunion episode.
Select couples from the popular dating show returned for a special dinner party, which aired on E4.
Those who braved the reunion included Adam Nightingale, Amy Kenyon, Holly Ditchfield, Lacey Martin, Nathan Campbell, Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
And in addition, a number of 2023 stars were in attendance, with the likes of Erica Roberts, Tasha Jay, Paul Liba, Matt Pilmoor and Shona Manderson taking part.
Lacey Martin came in for the harshest criticism after her ex partner Nathan Campbell claimed she wanted a “showmance”.
Meanwhile, Hannah Norburn was the first to break down in tears as her arch enemy Holly Ditchfield walked through the door while Erica shared the news that she had kissed Kieran in Edinburgh.
In a more romantic moment, Matt surprised Shona with a “promise ring”.
Yet Ella, who sat at head of the table, managed to avoid the drama.
In her Instagram caption, ahead of the show airing, Ella joked: “Did Somebody Order An Icon?
“The Comeback Queens back! Made a special guest appearance in tonights brand new Married At First Sight UK Reunion Special!”
