We just KNOW that all hell is going break out on the new series of Made in Chelsea – which kicks off in Mauritius, btw – and we cannot wait to see it all unfold on our TVs.

One person who has been at the forefront of a lot of drama since he became a official MIC cast member, is David 'Temps' Templer.

Temps joined the show as the bestie of Miles Nazaire and within the first few episodes he was in a relationship with Imogen Bloom and bickering with her on a daily basis.

The short-lived romance came to an end in Corsica and soon after Temps started hooking up with Liv Bentley. Alas that was NOT to be and the two are now just pals.

Who is David Templer?

Most commonly referred to as Temps but also known as Temp Tation or The Shirtless Chef, David Templer joined the cast of Made in Chelsea for series 16 as the BFF of Lothario turned dog dad Miles Nazaire.

He shot to fame on TikTok as, you guessed it, a shirtless chef and has also starred on reality TV show Written in the Stars and now MIC.

How old is David Templer?

Born 15 July 1990, Temps is 33 years old. He is also a Cancer which played a significant role during his time on Written in the Stars.

How did Temps land his Made in Chelsea role?

heat previously caught up with Temps to chat all things MIC and the TikTok star revealed how he landed this particular reality TV gig and we can't say we're surprised.

Although Temps is close pals with Miles, it was a different Chelsea chap who introduced them to each other. When we asked how he knew Miles, Temps name-dropped another cast member.

"Through Tristan Phipps, who is also on the show. I met him when I went travelling back in 2016," he admitted.

But it wasn't Tristan who introduced Temps to the set of MIC. Chatting about his friendship with Miles, Temps touched on the first time they met.

"We met rock climbing first time, we were wearing these harnesses, they were pretty tight around our nether regions.

"I say it all the time, I saw him [Miles] in a harness, and we were friends since then."

The start of a truly budding relationship. Temps confirmed as much when he added, "Yeah focused around Miles’s penis."

Ah, of course. What else is a true friendship based around if not a certain appendage?

Temps then went on to reveal how his MIC stint came about, "There's a few cast members who haven't come back for this season and Miles felt that he didn't have close friends on the show, so he wanted his actual reality to be the show.

"So we had a conversation about me doing it - because that's part of his reality - and now I'm on Made in Chelsea."

Are Temps and Liv Bentley dating?

Sadly, after a short-lived but cute AF romance, Liv and Temps are no more. Sad times.

What happened between David Templer and Imogen Bloom?

What does David Templer do?

He cites himself as a digital creator on his Instagram and is involved in countless other endeavours and revealed to heat that he will be going into business with Miles, as well.

"I’ve got quite a successful career on social media already, Miles and me have a business launching that is related to social media and obviously the relevance of Chelsea will help massively for that."

Was David Templer on Love Island?

No, but he was on Written in the Stars, please keep up. This was a series where singles were jetted off to a Greek villa and matched up according to their birth charts.

Temps admitted that a lot of his mates have taken part in Love Island, but he opted for Written in the Stars instead.

What happened between David Templer and Sam Prince?

Sam Prince and Temps clashed since day one and it didn't help that Temps' bestie, Miles, despised Sam and vice a versa, but in the past few months it looks as though Sam and Temps have found some common ground.

The duo are two of the MIC cast members who spent the summer in Sydney and apparently are now pretty much inseparable, if social media is anything to go by anyway.

In a recent episode of Chelsea, Temps thanked Sam for his meddling ways when it came to light that Liv did not, in fact, like Temps as much as she had implied, which is what Sam had been saying from the get-go.

When did Temps dye his hair blond?

It's not often a member of the Made in Chelsea cast reaches for the bleach. The SW3 crew are more about subtle highlights and bouncy blow drys but Temps clearly ain't afraid of mixing it up.

Back in May 2023, he attended a film premiere alongside Miles - obviously, because those two genuinely can't do anything on their own - where he showcased his new bleach blond locks.

Sharing a picture on his Instagram of his ice white hair, Temps' fans all seem to be saying the same thing. One wrote "Draco Malfoy," with another commenting, "Are you auditioning for Lucius or Draco Malfoy in the new Harry Potter TV series?"

Don't let the muggles get you down, Temps.

Does that make Miles, Crabbe or Goyle? We could even throw their pal Love Island 2022 star Charlie Radnedge into the mix to pick up the other role and the Harry Potter x Made in Chelsea crossover is complete.

Does David Templer have Instagram?

He sure does, it's @temp_tation.
