The Huffington Post UK
The 'Made in Chelsea' gang were back last night - and, frankly, it was though they had never been away, or grown up a single day in the meantime.

Chelsea's latest love rat, or sorely misjudged? Alex Mytton gets to try on Spencer clothes in the new series
So, before the first commercial break, we had our first 'you told me you loved me, then went on holiday and met a girl' conversation' swiftly followed by the 'I've heard rumours he's been a naughty boy' chat, and these two liaisons weren't even RELATED.
Here, then, in no particular order, is our definitive catalogue of the 12 best things to happen in 'Made in Chelsea' last night - did we miss anything?
Louise and Rosie knowing it's going to be awkward between Lucy and Jamie, even before WE did. Louise and Rosie spreading their wisdom about relationships, generally, because they've always been SO successful.
Who to believe? Binky is a troubled lady in love
Spencer doing his country gent routine in the park, telling anyone who'll listen that "I was really rooting for them" - roughly three minutes before spilling to Binky the minutiae of Jamie's love rattedness in Miami.

"This is fun," announced Binky, of the bright idea to bring her suspected-scoundrel boyfriend to dinner with ex-couple Louise and Spencer.
