And another added: “Well I didn’t expect to get emotional about JJ and Ella. ‘The two most sensible ones about this tonight.’
During the vow renewal, Ella burst into tears as she was the first to give her speech, in which she admitted she didn’t think they were compatible.
Ella, who is transgender, gushed about how accepting JJ was of her transition and shared how it changed her life forever as she burst into tears at the very emotional moment.
“For Ella to be seen as Ella, without any judgment, is something I thought would never happen to me,” she said.

“You have done so much for the little boys and girls like I once was, I may not have found the right thing in you, but I have found myself and my worth. ‘I will always love you so much.’
JJ seemed overwhelmed with emotion during Ella’s heartfelt tribute, before giving his own speech and agreeing with their decision to split up.
He gushed: “I think you’re amazing, I’ve learned so much from you, but looking back now I think the healthiest thing for both of us is to become friends.” “You’re really an inspiring person.”
On camera, JJ added: “I’m pretty sad that things didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but I don’t think we’re compatible romantically.”
While Ella said emotionally: “I didn’t expect this to be as hard as it was. “I’m sad but deep down I know I did the right thing.
“JJ will also hold a special place in my heart. “He showed me that I am good enough and that I shouldn’t settle for someone just accepting me, but that I should aim high.”
Ella and JJ were both originally set up with different spouses, but soon bonded and cheated on their partners together.
Her original partners Nathaniel Valentino and Bianca Petronzi both left the series, while JJ and Ella later rejoined the E4 show as a new couple, making it to the final episode despite being unmarried.
Elsewhere in Tuesday’s episode, Peggy and Georges got over their differences during the show and decided to stay together.
After a cliffhanger in Monday’s episode, Peggy shared that she trusted Georges would “prove anyone who doubted you wrong” after her family expressed uncertainty about their relationship.

Strong: Adrienne and Matt also faced the same big decision and decided to stay together after their future faced a major hurdle
She said: “This is by far the biggest decision of my life.” My family wants the best for me and family and respect for me is everything.
“You want me to be happy and put myself first.” As much as I wanted to trust you, for me trust is something that is earned.
“Maybe I don’t trust easily, but I trust myself.” And I also trust that you will prove everyone who doubted you wrong. That’s why it’s my decision to stay and continue our story together.”
Adrienne and Matt also faced the same big decision and decided to stay together after their future faced a major hurdle.
Adrienne recently told Matt that she didn’t want to have children, leaving her husband to decide whether he was willing to sacrifice a family to be with her.
Renewing his vows, Matt said: “I’ve always wanted children and knowing that might not be part of my future, I have to imagine what life would be like in the outside world and if I see you and me together. “Hand on heart, I can’t see anyone but you in my life.”
A thrilled Adrienne then also vowed to stay with Matt as she said: “I thought I’d be happy to have some time apart, I was nervous I wouldn’t miss you.”
“But it’s true what they say: absence makes the heart grow fonder. “I’m ready for a life together outside of the experiment.”
Paul and Tasha also renewed their vows during the series’ explosive final episode, and the fan-favorite couple also decided to stay together.
Paul admitted he questioned his decision after speaking to his friend, who said he didn’t think he and Tasha would last in the long run and Tasha asked if she was “too much” for her be a man.
However, Tasha chose Paul as she said: “The question I had to ask myself was: Can I trust you?” Could I see a life together for us? “You are one of the few people who have come into my life that I can count on.”
“You bring out the best in me… Paul, I choose you now, tomorrow and forever,” she added.
While Paul gushed: “I started questioning us and wondering if we were really a good match.” However, you’ve taught me so much… I’m so grateful for the life we’ve created together… Tasha, I love you and I can’t wait to continue our journey together.’

Speaking to the camera afterwards, Laura admitted: “Arthur’s vows have made it quite difficult for me but I’m moving forward with a lot more confidence.” “I’ll miss Arthur but the ring is off.”
