Former Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson has shockingly claimed she was paid just £25 a day when she first appeared on the E4 reality show.The 34-year-old made a brief appearance on the first series, which first aired 2011, before becoming a full time member of the cast in the second season.
During her eight year stint on the show, the mum of one went through several dramas in her love life. From being introduced as Jamie Laing’s love interest, to later going on to have a roller coaster relationship with Spencer Matthews.
