Made in Chelsea: Rosie explains it all

Those of you who know me well will know that I have never been Rosie’s biggest fan. It’s not that I don’t like her, I’ve just always found her a bit, well, blaeur. But one thing I’ve always respected is her honesty – except for the time she got with Hugo behind Millie’s back, but we won’t mention that.

And last night she was dropping truth bombs like Meek Mill calling out Drake. It may not have been nice to watch and it may have felt uncomfortable at times, but there’s a lot to be said for being upfront. And while I love Ollie, Rosie delivers it in her stoic and deadpan way, and it basically makes it all the more hard hitting.

Fleabag: Disgustingly dirty and cleverly caustic  

This brilliant new comedy started life as a successful Edinburgh Fringe show. 

The titular Fleabag (we never learn her real name, but we do learn EVERYTHING else about her) is a woman of around thirty or so, trying to manoeuvre her way through life with a failing cafe, a big sister who is her polar opposite, a distant father, a discreetly nasty step mother, and the recent death of her best friend and business partner.

Strictly Come Dancing: “This is gonna be a corker!”  

The glitter, the spray tans, the six-packs,  Claudia’s fringe and Tess’ awful jokes are back. And boy, is Planet Strictly planning to brighten up your weekend for the 14th series. And – get your tissues ready – it is Head Judge Len Goodman’s final series. The only upside of that is that we may get Arlene Phillips back on the panel.

X-Factor: Hello old friend, we’ve missed you 

The Dream Team. And Louis.

It’s that time of year again, when autumn reminds you that you’ve had no summer, when you realize you have to spent Christmas with the in-laws again; and when a collection of stars, diamonds and poor comedians make their way into a room to sing and be embarrassed/praised by a bunch of people at a really cheap table.

And if that sentence was hard to swallow, it’s nothing compared to the amount of X-Factor we’ll be force-fed over the next four months. But we’ll still watch it, we’ll still talk about it and moan about it like our lives depends on it. It’s the reality TV disease. And would we have it any other one?

Made in Chelsea – South of France: Triangles, backgammon and other games

I thought this was Made in Chelsea, not Playa in Marbella…

I can’t keep up with the Chelsea lot. Who fancies who, who’s slept with who and who wants to sleep with whom. 

I mean is bloody hard to keep up when these lot swap partners like the rest of us swap lipsticks. So to recap… 

Francis has been hooking up with Toff, but he had a date with Olivia and they have a connection. 
Jamie is worth Frankie, but being the little scamp that he is, he thought it was cool to share his bed with two girls who aren’t his girlfriend. 

Alex is no longer with Nicola after dumping her via text, before sleeping with Liv days later. Neither of them wants a repeat performance but it appears as if he thought it was acceptable to flirt with Frankie. Yep, the girlfriend of his ‘best bois’. 

And Louise isn’t single but she isn’t with Alik, but she’s dating her personal trainer, but she was also flirting with the French graffiti artist. The personal trainer is is coming to visit her, but so is Alike. 

Ollie has realised that he is very and he’s dating a cutie who is, well, very cute. 

Sam and Tiff are happy and loved up and Jess is playing fashion guru / relationship advisor to everyone. 

I think that’s it, and I think that’s all. I could be wrong, because I’m hella confused! 

If you are too, the next episode is on Monday at 10pm on its usual channel, E4. 

Maybe by then I would’ve figured out what the hell is going on, coz right now I have zero idea.
