My thoughts on Beyond Chelsea:
- Rosie is horrendous. She said she's "changed a lot" since MiC, but obviously not for the better because she's even more conceited, rude and stuck up than she was before. She's clearly got undiagnosed mental health issues, including and ED, body dysmorphia and delusions of grandeur. I think she really resents the fact she was always the Plain Jane on MiC and is now massively overcompensating for the fact. The way she banged on about her bag inserts like they're some revolutionary product that hasn't been invented already, and yonks ago. What a bleeping idiot. All that Botox has clearly seeped into her brain. I can't even find her company on Google. Clearly it's a winner!
- Lucy's face: what a state. And how different it looks to her Instagram pics. She's giving Zac Efron vibes with the massive lantern jaw, false teeth and orange peel skin. James's teeth are an equal fright. He gives Ruby Adler a run for her money.
- Binky didn't come across as arrogant as I was expecting but I do think she was acting up for the cameras A LOT. She was trying way hard to recreate her early-20s persona. I also got irked by her PR manager talking like Binky was some A-list Hollywood acteess. "Ohhh I've got you the M&S clothing line and the Vogue shoot. How well deserved Binks!". Such rubbish. The girl hasn't worked a day in her life, bar a brief stint as a PA before she packed it in for MiC. The husband looks old enough to be her dad but he seems very sensible and grounded. I have no idea what common ground they must both have. Binky's nose is also as bunged up as it was during her cokey heyday on the show. Her and Cheska constantly had bunged-up noses and never seemed bothered about hiding it.
- Rosie still doesn't like Lucy, does she? It's so obvious from the body language and icy, unimpressed stares she shoots Lucy whenever she speaks. Rosie HATED Binky bringing up Lucy's infamous line and pretended to have no knowledge of what she was talking about. She was literally sat at the dinner table when Lucy said it FFS. It feels a lot like Rosie doesn't like sharing Binky with Lucy, and is just tolerating her company for the sake of the show. The promo shots for the show are also very telling. Note how Rosie keeps herself at a distance, or poses in the opposite direction if she's next to Lucy in a shot.
