Selling Sunset: Who is Welsh star Ellie Greenberg?

Selling Sunset has made its highly-anticipated return to Netflix - and it features a Welsh star. The reality television show, which follows the lives of those that work at The Oppenheim Group, returned to the streaming service on April 22.

The new series teased "major drama" and "explosive truths" ahead of its comeback, and if you've already binged it, you will know that it did not disappoint. Season five was filled with new romances, luxury listings, and even more fallouts.

It also saw the arrival of a brand new agent, Chelsea Lazkani. The new cast member was introduced to Netflix viewers during the first episode of the new series after meeting Christine Quinn at an open house.

Chelsea, who moved from London to LA six years ago, has a lot connections in the world of real estate and quickly become the newest agent at The Oppenheim Group after impressing Brett and Jason.

During one scene Chelsea introduced viewers to her client and longtime "fabulous" friend Ellie Greenburg - who just happens to come from Wales - after believing a property in the Palisades would be the perfect fit for her pal.

But while Ellie seemed impressed by the property itself, calling it a "great s***pad", she wasn't as keen that the surrounding area had ongoing construction work or that the home was located in a quiet neighbourhood.

But who is Ellie Greenberg?

Introducing Ellie to the show, Chelsea explained: "Her family own the Skechers shoe empire and she's actually built a pretty impressive business herself of buying and selling real estate. She has an extensive real estate portfolio."

Chelsea went on to say that the pair met at a house party and quickly became pals. "We clicked instantly because she’s 100% about her business and 100% wild," Chelsea said.

According to her Facebook page, Ellie hails from Barry, although she now resides in LA. She also has her own show called What the Flip which she describes as an "audacious new take on the transformation of property, possessions and people".

Her website states: "Ellie Greenberg, as seen on Selling Sunset, a.k.a. 'The Flippin' Queen,' is a spunky Los Angeles-based, British transplant who will flip anything, in order to make her client’s wildest dreams come true: Be they sexy. Scary. Heartwarming. Or absolutely bonkers."
