I WAS AN EXTRA ON MADE IN CHELSEA!

If you're as obsessed with Made in Chelsea as I am, then you'll understand how BLOODY EXCITED I was when I got an email through saying I had been picked to be an extra on the show. A few months back I saw an advertisement on E4's Twitter account asking people to email in if they wanted to be an extra for a gig scene on MIC. I happened to be off work that week so obviously my first instinct was ERM YEAH (despite the fact that I had no one to go with because it was a Wednesday and all of my friends work!) It was first come first served but I emailed them instantly so I knew I had a good chance of being picked. Annoyingly, they didn't let us know we had been chosen until the day before so my coach to London was way overpriced - but it was a once in a lifetime thing so I decided it was worth it!

I had to be in Farringdon for 9am so it was a ridiculously early start (pretty sure I left the house at around 3am to catch my 4am coach from Nottingham > London Victoria) Coaches take SO long (plus it was late so it made the journey like 4 hours long!) but last minute trains to London are so expensive so I had no choice really. When I got to Victoria, it was rush hour so the 30 min tube journey ended up taking around an hour. Luck was seriously not on my side that day!

In the end it all worked out okay and I ended up meeting a lovely group of girls who took me under their wing for the day. One of the girl's boyfriend was in the band that the gig scene was focused around, so they had been invited down for that reason. There also seemed to be a lot of paid extras there too, which seemed a bit pointless seeing as loads of us were there for free. We made sure that we were at the front of the crowd cause we were really hoping that you'd get to see a glimpse of us on the show (I mean who wouldn't want to appear on MIC?) I was literally stood right behind Steph (I was that close I could see what she was texting her friend!) which was pretty crazy considering I used to watch her on The Hills when I was like 14.

FYI - the girls are even prettier in real life (if that's even possible?), JP and James are perf, Ollie was the only one who acknowledged us so he really is that nice in real life, Jamie was as loud and bubbly as you'd expect him to be and the girls are a lot shorter and look so much younger in real life!

I'll link the scene I'm in here if you're interested! Some insider gossip for you... the scene was filmed at 10am, not in the evening like they make you think! We were drinking fake alcohol, we had to listen to the same songs over and over again, were told to look like we were having a good time... oh, and all of the sly looks to the side they give each other are completely set up. Basically most of it is set up (which everyone knows already) but still, I CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE IT.
