Ricky, who runs Lawrence & Winslade bespoke tailors in Knightsbridge, hit headlines last year after he was cleared of assaulting his ex girlfriend and former Miss Universe finalist Chloe Othen. Speaking to The Sun, a close pal of Ella’s said: “Everybody was really surprised when Ella posted with Ricky. They aren’t married, it was a joke but they are spending time together. She loves love and Ricky has swept her off her feet. “She knows what happened with Ricky in the past and has no concerns whatsoever about him, but it’s concerning for some of us that she’s linked to him now. “He has a bit of a reputation and was in a relationship with someone else not too long ago. “He really showered his last girlfriend with gifts and big gestures and was talking about marrying her all the time before he met Ella. “There are constantly rumours about his wealth as well – he appears incredibly rich online and drives a Rolls Royce, but is just renting his place in Knightsbridge. “We all just want Ella to be happy and just hope she knows enough about him.” Comment now
