StarStruck Season 7 alum Ella Cristofani starred in her first-ever lead role in GMA Public Affairs's romance-fantasy anthology My Fantastic Pag-ibig: Ghosted along with award-winning actor and new Kapuso hunk Royce Cabrera.

In the series, she played the role of Sunshine, the love interest of Gio, portrayed by Royce.

A week after its finale, Ella got featured in GMA Artist Center's online show In The Limelight, where she talked about her experiences during the show's taping.

Her leading man, Royce, clearly left an impression on the young artist as she commended his work ethic and his knack for acting.

“Actually nung una sobrang na-intrigue ako kasi siyempre sobrang galing niyang umarte and meron na rin siyang nominations sa iba't ibang awards. Syempre nahiya ako kasi sabi ko, 'Hala, parang kakainin naman ako ng buhay nito.'

“Pero nung nakatrabaho ko, sobrang humble niya ang super-duper bait niya plus he helped me a lot when we were working together. Sa totoo lang, gusto ko siyang makatrabao ulit. Sobrang worth it niya katrabaho and super saya. Napagaan niya lahat,” Ella said.

The well-loved actress also regarded her My Fantastic Pag-ibig stint as one of her most memorable yet as a Kapuso artist since her appearance on StarStruck.

“'Yung pinaka-memorable talaga sa 'kin is 'yung nag-start ako sa 'My Fantastic Pag-ibig' kasi first time ko lang talaga parang maging isa sa lead and until now hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nagawa ko pala 'yon.

“Until now, I'm very overwhelmed and sobrang happy ko kasi another achievement unlocked. Sana more achievements na maa-unlock pa in the near future,” she added.

Meanwhile, aside from Royce, Ella also related that she dreams of working with Kapuso stars Rhian Ramos and Miguel Tanfelix.

“If ever may makaka-work ako in the future, sa babae gustung-gusto ko makatrabaho si Rhian Ramos. Sobrang naging idol ko siya sa 'The Rich Man's Daugther' and super pretty niya. Isa siya sa mga Kapuso stars I look up to.

“And sa guys naman siyempre si Miguel Tanfelix po talaga. Bata pa lang ako e sobrang naging crush [ko siya] especially sa early teens ko. And baka naman po…baka naman po puwede ko siyang makatambalan in the future,” she quipped.

Since Ella started her acting career, she revealed that she aspires to portray a bida kontribada role.

“'Yung dream role ko talaga is 'yung bida kontrabida. Gusto ko ako 'yung magiging person na you will love to hate,” she added.
