She certainly brought the drama when the Made in Chelsea lot hit Mallorca

When we first met Made in Chelsea's India Hovenden in 2022, she seemed the perfect Made in Chelsea recruit. The receipts...

She lived in Chelsea and only really left to go glam places like Mallorca (where we first met her on a cast holibob), she was a model for MOT Models, she was stunning (obv still is), she was PA to the Editor of Vogue (which gives her a whole new Devil Wears Prada/Emily in Paris angle), she worked out more in a week than we've done our entire lives. She was a real MIC vibe from day dot.

In the summer of 2022, MIC switched things up by setting the series in Mallorca and airing an episode a night for five days on E4 – they also introduced FOUR new faces, including India.

The new additions to Made In Chelsea Mallorca, which aired in August that year were India, Issy Francis-Baum, as well as Malek Amro, and Willow Day.

It turns out that India was the mystery lady that Julius Cowdrey had in his bed on the same night as Tabitha Willett (remember that?). Earlier on that year, Julius was outed for having had another woman in his bed the same night he’d been on a date with Tabitha - which at the time, he denied and said they were just friends.

Four years prior, India worked at Fulham spinning studio Ride Republic, where she first met Julius. The pair hit it off and had an undeniable chemistry, which later blossomed into romance, becoming 'more than friends’ in June 2020. For two years, Julius and India had an on/off relationship which she describes as ‘being boyfriend and girlfriend without the label’.

It's safe to say that description didn't match what we saw on Chelsea that summer.

Remember now? Fab. But where in the name of Raffles and Harrods is this Chelsea queen now, because she certainly hasn't been on our radar for some time (no shade). Is she still on MIC?
