Watch moment Celebrity Gladiators is thrown into chaos as 'fight' breaks out on set
She launched to fame when the iconic 90s show was brought back for a reboot last year by the BBC.
Ella-Rae has been involved in sports her whole life, which included being an elite gymnast.
Speaking about her incredible physique, she told the BBC: “Previously, women have been told that being muscular just makes you look like a man, but that’s absolutely not the case.
"I have muscles but I’m a proper girly girl.

“I love shopping, I love beauty, I love fashion and getting all dressed up.
"But I also love being powerful, being strong, muscular."
Ella-Rae added: “I’ve been told that I’ve got one of the strongest hits on Duel [one of the show’s main events], and you might think that’s a game for someone who is more bulky, who looks physically stronger — but you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Ella-Rae also revealed that she is starting to feel famous thanks to Gladiators.

She joked: “Funnily enough I’m recognised in the gym all the time, and that’s probably because I’m in less clothes, so people look at me like, ‘Oh, I know who she is! She’s on Gladiators’. It’s flattering.
“After the first series, people didn’t really know me because I was out of the show injured — I went to a meet-and-greet event and someone handed me the phone to take the photo of them with another Gladiator!
“That was a bit of a hard pill to swallow at first. I didn’t get to show off the skills that I have.
"Now I really love speaking to the fans and giving back where I can — taking five minutes out of my day to talk to them, especially the kids, because you know it’s making their day.”
