Made in Chelsea's Melissa Tattam chatted to her BFF Sophie Habboo on their 'Wednesdays We Drink Wine,' podcast and you are not ready for this hilarious revelation.
Melissa and Sophie were discussing Boris Johnson (random but stick with us here) and as Sophie chatted about BJ's long list of kids, Melissa couldn't help but interrupt and boy are we glad she did.
"Oh my god, mic drop," Melissa laughed much to Sophie's bemusement before continuing, "I don't know if I can say this... but I'm going to say it."
The words that fell out of Melissa Tattam's mouth have never been uttered before and will probably never be spoken again.
"Boris Johnson's wife has previously DM'd Toby Watkins. And she follows him," she confessed.
Mic drop indeed. We told you it was comedy gold.
"No you're lying. No you're lying," Sophie laughed in complete shock
"Deadly f**king serious," Melissa told her as she joined in with the hysterical laughter.
Toby Watkins is of course Melissa's boyfriend and as Sophie quizzed her pal on what the contents of the message said, we were left gutted when she admitted the message was deleted before they could read it.
Dammit.
This was also a partly educational episode because we were NOT aware that even if you unsend a message the recipient is still aware you tried to contact them.
All those drunken messages you sent to Tom Hardy confessing your undying love? Oh he is well aware, even if you did 'unsend' them.
Toby and Melissa are in a good place now but they previously had a bit of a rocky time of things when it came to their relationship and they both spoke openly about it on Melissa and Sophie's podcast.
Toby starred alongside Jamie Laing, on Melissa and Sophie's podcast, for a cracker of a Christmas ep. After a bit of chat about the girls comparing Toby and Jamie's dick pics and obvs some wine pouring, Toby and Melissa decided to spill the tea.
Melissa commenced the conversation by stating that she didn't want to talk about Toby's reasons for ending the relationship (that was the first gag) without him being there. She said, "I never actually said why we broke up. I never even said that you broke up with me. I was always very, like, mysterious about it. You weren’t here to explain yourself; I didn’t want to say too much.”
She continued, "You weren’t a dick or anything. It wasn’t like you cheated on me or anything.”
Toby then jumped in explaining why he made the choice he made. We should stress right now the pair are back together and happier than ever, so this sad story does have a nice happy ending.
Toby immediately opened up about his recent battle with anxiety, stating that his mental health was the reason he thought he needed to split with Melissa earlier this year. He said, "I basically had real bad anxiety and the newest thing in my life was Melissa and therefore I misdiagnosed the problem – that it was her.
"I handled it wrong; I should’ve opened up and spoken to Melissa about it more. Anyway, I just got my knickers in a big old twist, and freaked out, and broke up with her – and felt even worse. I realised that was not the problem and I was very fortunate that Melissa was understanding enough to realise there was so much love there and was not the problem.
"There was some stuff that I needed to work out and get to the bottom of, but our relationship was not the problem at all. Actually, it was the best thing in my life," he admitted.
Melissa Tattam and Toby Watkins reunite

Melissa spent several weeks on the Indonesian island filming the next series of the E4 reality series along with the likes of Miles Nazaire, Julius Cowdrey, Issy Francis-Baum and Ollie Locke.
Toby recently sparked rumours he was joining the cast when he flew out to join her, however, Melissa later clarified that Toby isn't joining Made in Chelsea and insisted that it was just a coincidence that he was in Bali at the same time.

What happened with Melissa Tattam and Miles Nazaire?
Well, we think they have only ever been friends but when Melissa announced she was back with Toby it meant that the rumours her and Miles became an item while in Bali were complete BS. Which in turn proves that Miles has literally no idea what's going on in his own love life, because he definitely suggested there WAS something going on between the pair towards the end of the Bali trip via his Instagram Story.
What happened with Melissa Tattum and Harry Baron?
Melissa announced she and Harry broke up in an Instagram post back in September 2021. This news was a shock to many as they were considered one of the stronger relationships on the show. Melissa and Harry had been together for three years and were even at one point considering getting married.
The reason they broke up is unclear, although on an episode of her podcast Melissa revealed that "everything is very amicable" between the two and that "nothing bad has happened, no one cheated."
