Louise Thompson

These people would come on.

They already knew what the show was.

It's a bit like Love Island now where people, they know what the deal is and they try then quite hard to be in it loads and to be dramatic.

And the producers don't really like that, although they encourage them to be like that, but then they drop them.

It felt really unfair.

Yeah.

There's like loads of girls.

There was this whole like revolving door of girls that would come on, like very pretty girls.

Yeah.

I think actually one time I pushed one of them out of a seat.

I know.

I look so just like cooked in that scene.

I do remember that.

I think the joy of reality TV back in the day was the fact that people didn't know what they were getting into.

Whereas then later on, so say like by season 12 of me and Chelsea, like we're already quite established.

People are going, I want to join that show because it could be my lucky break.

And like, that's probably the wrong reason to join a show like that.

I remember the first time getting papped outside because we used to have like an end of season party and it always been a club on the King's Road.

I didn't realise shiny Louise does a thing.

I thought that was from this fucking podcast because I'm always shiny.
