She may have been absent from the last series of Made in Chelsea, but Paris Smith is finally back on screens now that the show has returned for series 27.
And the socialite-turned-model definitely knows a thing or two about bringing the drama, having won Reality Personality of the Year at the National Reality TV Awards in 2023, so we have high hopes she will continue to give us everything that we need.
Since she joined the show in 2020, Paris has been involved in some of the most intense MIC moments, including her fall out with, well, pretty much everyone at some stage and her honest take on dating.
Here's everything you need to know about the model before tuning into Made in Chelsea: Mauritius.
Who is Paris Smith from Made in Chelsea?
Paris joined the cast in the autumn 2020 series as a friend of Verity Bowditch and Amelia Mist.
She’s a Chelsea socialite and model.
How old is Paris Smith?
Paris was born on 26th June and is 25 years old. That makes her star sign a Cancer.
Where is Paris Smith from?
Paris is from London.
In an episode of MIC and during a conversation with Olivia Bentley, Paris spoke about her experiences of racism while dating.
"I was dating this guy and he even came up to me and was like, 'Do you know it’s so funny, my friend', he showed a photo of her with a black guy, 'My friend’s got a Black one and I’ve got a Black one haha.'
"I didn’t understand why it made me feel like sh*t. I remember I just stared at him and I took in what he said and thought, 'I don’t know what to say,' and walked out. I just left," she said on the show.
What is Paris Smith’s job?
As well as being a socialite and influencer (and reality TV star, obv) Paris is a model signed to Wilhelmina Models.
She did her schooling at The Hampshire School in Chelsea and went on to study Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts.
What happened with Paris Smith, Verity Bowditch and Amelia Mist?
Paris was introduced as a friend of Amelia’s and was initially billed as a love interest for the rather hapless Freddie Browne.
Things didn’t exactly go to plan though and after Tristan Phipps and Amelia’s bezzie Verity split up, Paris ended up rowing with Olivia Bentley over Tristan’s attention.
When it became clear that Paris was fighting a losing battle, she ended up slipping a throwaway comment that Verity had made to her and Amelia (about Tris and Verity having break up sex)... to Liv.
Cue chaos as Liv confronted Verity about the comment and Verity was left in tears.
What has Paris Smith said about Made in Chelsea?
"I think my favourite part about living in the houses has been getting to know everyone," she told Channel 4 during MIC series 20, when some cast members quarantined together in houses in Surrey.
"You learn a lot about people by the way they live."
And apparently, she wasn't nervous to move in with anyone as she "strives for a positive mental attitude".
"The most fun things I have done in the houses are the dinner parties," she added. "We had a lot of themed games and, of course, good food and alcohol."
Speaking to Grazia she also said, "Working as a model, you constantly work with new people, so this wasn't anything I was too worried about.
"And I tend to have a positive mindset, so I don't allow myself to make worries up. If I hear them coming, I go 'No no.’ I also get along well with people generally."
Who is Paris Smith's boyfriend?
Paris was dating Irish businessman Cillian but they haven't been seen on the socials together since December 2021. The split was confirmed when she returned to season 26 of MIC a single woman, although not much is known abut the break-up.
Paris hasn't confirmed she's seeing anyone new, so we're going to assume she's now single. Although, who knows, that could change during the series...
What happened with Paris Smith and Robbie Mullet?
Well, Paris decided to paint a piece of art for her pal Joel Mignott and his bae Robbie Mullett, but he wasn't too happy when Paris depicted Robbie looking rather devil-like.
What happened with Paris Smith and Yasmine Zweegers?
After Yasmine Zweegers and Issy Francis-Baum fell out over some of the MIC lads, Paris took Issy's side and called out Yas for her less than cool behaviour, at a spa getaway no less.
Oh so Chelsea of them.
