Louise Thompson is basically Made in Chelsea royalty, appearing on the reality show as a main cast member for eight years.

She is mostly remembered for being involved in some of the show's most iconic romances - not to mention being the centre of multiple love triangles. Most notable was perhaps her on-again off-again romance with Spencer Matthews and of course that unforgettable break-up on the bridge where Spencer revealed his infidelity.

Although she left the show in 2019, her fanbase has remained loyal and supportive mainly due to her honest and heartbreaking social media posts.
