Schoolgirl Ella Richardson (Erin Palmer) is in for a horrible shock in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).

In yesterday’s episode of the channel 4 soap, Ella sent some private pictures of herself to her ex-boyfriend Charlie Dean (Charlie Behan). 

Insecure Ella had  started to worry that Charlie didn’t fancy her and thought sending a few selfies would be a good idea. 

However, tonight she is bitterly regretting it and in a state of panic she begs Charlie to delete the images.

However, it looks like it’s too late!

Later on there is a back-to-school sports day but what is supposed to be a fun day of physical activity ends in disaster when Mason Chen-Williams (Frank Kaur) who has a crush on Ella, reaches boiling point after consistently being rebuffed by her. 

In a pique of anger Mason hurls a ball at Ella.

Ella’s ex-boyfriend, Charlie, chases after him and soon a big argument between the two lads erupts.

A furious Charlie, who has anger issues, punches Mason but is caught out by his mum, deputy head-teacher, Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox).

Ella is mortified about the punch up and her boyfriend's actions and makes a BIG decision.

However, later on she has far more to worry about when her private photos are posted online and all her peers get to see them.  

Ella is beside herself!
