It's been a hot minute since anyone discussed life on the poshest reality show on telly, but Sophie Habboo ('Habbs' to her friends) chatted all things Made in Chelsea during a recent appearance on the Scenes of Beauty podcast and she had some serious thoughts.
Sophie touched on the need to bring the drama when you are on the show and we guess she has a point. She admitted, "You're not really any benefit to a TV show or reality show unless you are bringing some form of drama."
Joining the show back in 2017, Sophie dated Alex Mytton and Sam Thompson for a time before falling for fiancee Jamie Laing and was, naturally, involved in a fair bit of chaos but we guess when her and Jamie settled down the drama was no more.
Sophie went on to talk about the way it can have an impact on your mental health; constantly feeling the need to cause a scene, "And to be in that space where you are constantly, like, God, I just have to be having some form of drama in your life is quite negative. It's quite like soul destroying, in a way."
Continuing the frank chat, the podcaster mentioned how people (we assume fellow Made in Chelsea babes) created a less-than-ideal environment, "People are seeking out storylines and it does become a bit toxic."

Eeeek, that's not a vibe, is it? Sophie didn't stop there and only went and questioned the integrity of the show as it has "an atmosphere is very... I would hate to say inauthentic."
By saying that, Habbs, we get the impression that's EXACTLY what you mean. But at the end of the day, MiC is classed as a 'structure reality' show so we understand it's not totally legit.
But it is onwards and upwards for Sophie now as she is engaged to long-time beau Jamie and hosts TWO podcasts; Newlyweds with Jamie and Wednesdays We Drink Wine with BFF Melissa Tattam.
Sophie Habboo's mum
The world of social media went wild when Jamie shared a video of his fiancée's mum - and we totally get it.
The couple took to Instagram to play a joke on Sophie's mum, Sarah with hilarious consequences and the revelation that she is drop-dead gorgeous.
The 'Molly Mae prank' started out on TikTok when Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague created a 30-second video of her wishing a friend happy birthday but made silly faces throughout the video, leaving boyfriend Tommy Fury in total confusion.
But it wasn't the prank itself that had Jamie's followers talking, it was Sophie's mum, Sarah. Fans of the couple filled the comments section with compliments and statements of disbelief that this was Sarah was Sophie's mum and not her sister.
One follower declared, "No way is that her mum, looks more like her sister !!"
Another commented, "They look like sisters, beautiful ladies!"
One fan pointed out, "Omg Sophie and her mum have the same wrists." Not the most obvious of similarities to pick up on, but we love an observant fan.
"I thought Sophie’s dad was the most attractive parent I’d ever seen but now her mum is kicking him off of that pedestal 😅🔥," added another.
One more commented, "Omg her mum is insanely hot 😍😍😍 as is soph 😘🔥."
Habbs and Jamie announced they were engaged in December 2021 and she spilt some major tea on their upcoming nuptials on her podcast, Wednesdays We Drink Wine, earlier this year.
While answering listener queries over a glass of vino on a Wednesday with co-host Melissa Tattam and special guest, Love Island 2022 finalist Tasha Ghouri, the topic of weddings was brought up, leading Sophie to reveal her hen-do plans.
She told the girls that she and Jamie were planning on merging their stag and hen dos into a giant "sten" party in Ibiza.
Speaking of her decision, Sophie said, "Personally, for me, I find the thought of a hen gives me a bit of anxiety. It’s like all eyes on me and it scares me.
"Do you know why it scares me? I worry so much that my friends are having fun. I’d be like, ‘Are you all having fun?’"
As such, the couple has decided to share the load, by holding a huge joint Ibiza blowout (we're not sure when) with all their posh chums and chumettes.
Despite Sophie's announcement, bestie Melissa stressed that there will also be some sort of mini-hen in London to give the bride-to-be her moment.
Sophie 'Habbs' Habboo may live the ultimate influencer lifestyle on the gram, but she's more widely known for her appearance on Made in Chelsea. After joining the cast of the glam show, she's gone on to make a name for herself as a brand ambassador and businesswoman.
