One of our favourite Made in Chelsea stars of all time has got to be Lucy Watson.

She joined the cast during series four and left after series 11 and while it's been eight years since she was on the show, we still think of her scenes. From her 'why's everyone getting up in my grill' comment to exposing Alex Mytton and Spencer Matthews' alleged orgy - she truly was iconic.

Now it's been confirmed that she's returning to reality TV for the spin-off show Beyond Chelsea we've had a look back at her time on the show and what she's doing now.

Who did Lucy Watson date on Made in Chelsea?

During her four-year stint, Lucy's most memorable relationship was with Spencer. Their relationship came to an end after (surprise, surprise) she discovered he had cheated.

It all came to light during the reunion show and at the time Lucy said, 'I can't even look at him. I got tweeted [that's how I found out].

'There's some nice people looking out for me.'

She went on to tell Spencer directly, 'Can I just say after this is finished [the reunion show], please don't ever speak to me ever again.'

Why did Lucy Watson quit Made in Chelsea?

Back in 2016 everyone was devo when it was confirmed that Lucy had quit the show and now she's spoken out on Private Parts podcast about why she left the show that made her famous.

'The real reason was, you know that argument with Steph [Pratt]? It wasn't portrayed - in my opinion - the way that it actually went down.

'Then I felt like from that argument it all came about my relationship, how there were things wrong with it and [Steph] started saying things like "[James] kicked her out of my apartment."'

And it turns out that was the final straw for Lucy.

'[Me and James] were arguing more during that time and I was like "this is going to make us argue" and then I realised you can't really be in a happy relationship on that show.

'At that point I was quite serious with James so I was like "actually I value this more."

'Plus the controlling side of [the show] where you couldn't do other work really annoyed me because I really wanted to do loads more.'

Is Lucy Watson returning to Made in Chelsea?

She's not back on MIC but she will be starring on the spin-off show Beyond Chelsea that will air very soon.

Does Lucy Watson have kids?

In March 2024, Lucy gave birth to her first child - a baby boy named Willoughby. She's yet to post his face on social media which makes us think he might not be on Beyond Chelsea.

What is Lucy Watson doing now?
