The show that is renowned for theatrical riverside showdowns did not disappoint this week, following rumours fuelled by Chelsea’s very own Emmeline Pankhurst, Cheska Hull. “I was just trying to help,” she pleaded to an understandably, ungrateful Hugo.
Apparently he didn’t consider allegations that accused him of cheating, the slightest bit helpful, especially since Millie, whom it is fair to say, stole the show on Monday night by ending her relationship with the incessant flirt, in typical Made in Chelsea fashion…
“I’ve never broken up with anyone that I have wanted to stay with before,” Millie sighed, “I just need to need to walk away,” and staying true to her word, women everywhere were waving their sashes as cool, calm and collected Millie, kissed Hugo swiftly on the cheek and walked away. Sauntering along the embankment, surrounded by trees and wind blowing her perfectly tussled hair, Millie left the befuddled Hugo, alone by the riverside… rejected.
Luckily for him, he had the old ‘baseball cap of sorrow’ on hand, and a pair of sun glasses to keep up the cool façade. A bachelor once more, look out single ladies of Chelsea because Hugo is back in ‘the game.’
But is Cheska really to blame? The poor girl rarely gets a storyline of her own and let’s be honest, if she weren’t interfering in the lives of the others, would she even be in the show at all? Perhaps we should cut the girl who writes her ‘girl about town’ blog to earn a living, a little slack. If she were axed from the show, goodness knows who’d keep her in Louboutins and ‘supps’ at the Bluebird?
Speaking of which, we we’re back at the Bluebird this week, as Gabs had some very exciting news for her best buddies, Binky and Cheska. I for one am rather excited to see the singer’s video debut which (by the way) you can catch right after next week's episode, exclusively on E4.
“This song is a hit, no doubt about it. It is a number one single” Gabriella assured us, speaking of the song she performed in the last series called ‘Fight.’ She wrote the track whilst she was still in a relationship with Ollie, whom she is totally over now - just to confirm. It’s just a shame that one of the silky haired, union jack clad Ollie look-a-likes whom she auditioned won’t really be playing her ex in the video… A girl can dream.
Speaking of silky things, “Did you guys ever have a blanky?” Jamie asked the boys over a game of FIFA, “I had two, one called big silky, and the other little silky.”
Could Jamie be more adorable? Rosie thinks so. She was lapping up his flirtatious antics like an excitable puppy whilst in Cowes this week. “You’re looking virginal (in your white)” he grinned at her. “You’re looking great too!” she smiled back.
To be honest, I was just glad to see Spencer finally out of bed – where he spent a good two or three parts of this week's episode, as he continues to explore the old ‘friends with benefits’ theory. Yes, that old chestnut!
Of course we all know how this will fair in the end, particularly with Caggie’s inevitable return, closer to the horizon. In fact, we can sigh with relief, as Cagg’s is back and looking beautiful as ever. Waiting on her doorstep she surprised an unsuspecting Millie, only to discover, a lot has changed whilst she’s been away.
It's like a game of musical chairs with this lot. One day the music will stop and there will be no eligible guys or girls left in the borough.
Noticeably, Francis had a twinkle in his eye this week and it must have something to do with the fact that the diamond heir has landed not one, not two but three dates this week, just as we were about to launch a Twitter campaign.
First he secured a date with old flame Louise, somehow, after rather rudely questioning his level of respect for her. Then the unsuspecting bachelor looked as bewildered as we did when Jewellery entrepreneur Amber made her move. Finally, whilst assuring himself and best friend Fredrick that he wasn’t a ‘flimsy’ he was introduced to third date and old friend of Chloe Green, Natalia, as “A kind of Daniel Craig-esk mixed with Rowan Atkinson.” With an adventurous spirit to match that of Casanova himself - how does one resist such a man?
We could hardly believe our eyes this week as Francis posed topless along side best friend and model Fredrick Ferrier, apparently for gay mag, Attitude. As Francis revealed his reasons for “Reaching out to the gay community” - metaphorically of course – he went on to explore the similarities between himself and Prime Minister David Cameron. Well Francis, you would certainly make a sexy MP and I am sure that this is one edition of Attitude for which the nation cannot wait to come out -excuse the pun.
It was rather Made in Chelsea meets Essex this week as Ollie suggested elongated nipple extensions as an addition to Binky’s new, more sophisticated look. I don’t think that was what Topshop heir Chloe had in mind when she took it upon herself to re-styled her new friend.
I wonder what Chelsea’s very own Fashion Council Mark Francis and Amber Atherton would think of this new phenomenon?
With the pair joining forces to create a men’s jewellery range, Mark made the directions of the project clear: “We have to be careful, I don’t want something that would be quite brash, I don’t want something that would be on the wrong beaches in Ibiza.” Ibiza? Goodness no. However they are thinking that Francis would make an excellent investor and partner in their little business soirée… he is a diamond expert after all.
And so another evening with the Champagne-swilling socialites came to a close, and before we catch a glimpse at next week's drama, I imagine the question on everybody’s lips… Who the devil is Gabalicious? And why does she keep popping up all over the place?
NEXT TIME…
Hugo has a cocktail thrown in his face. Chloe finally meets Gabriella for the first time. Spencer has a dream… until then darlings.
Rachael Kay is reviewing Made in Chelsea which is on Mondays, E4 at 10pm.
