Are Louise Thompson and Lucy Watson faking "hatred" of one another?

At any given opportunity Made in Chelsea stars Louise Thompson and Lucy Watson have always laid in to one another through the medium of Twitter, ever since Lucy started dating Louise's ex Spencer Matthews. Recently Lucy could not hide her amusement at Louise being labelled a 'slut' on Twitter. However at the TV Choice Awards on Monday the girls did not appear indifferent to each other, as they sat just one seat away from each other with co-star Binky Felstead sat in between them. Whilst ever friendly and entertaining Binky could have helped diffuse the tension between the girls, it does seem suspicious that these two were willing to be that close to one another, given their apparent hatred of each other.

Of course, this sets fuel to the fire, that some of the storylines in Made in Chelsea are exaggerated in order to boost the ratings. It could be that these two are civil with one another, but the reality show emphasised their hatred of each other, to create explosive scenes. This was famously done, when it was revealed on the show that Louise slept with Spencer Matthews, behind boyfriend of the time, Jamie Laing's back. However after facing a very public backlash for apparently doing this, Louise admitted that this storyline was in fact made up and she never did cheat on Jamie. If this plot can be made up then there is every chance that Louise and Lucy's continued "hatred" of each other is contrived for a public show. Indeed, in the past there have been questions raised over whether co-stars publicly "fight" on Twitter in order to get publicity for the show.

Whilst we will never know the truth behind this on-going 'spat' that they have, unless the show abruptly ends and the stars release memoirs, we shall assume for now that Louise and Lucy are civil to one another, despite their past disputes. There is of course every chance that these two girls try to get along at awards ceremonies for the sake of putting on a united MIC front.

Do you think Louise and Lucy have pretended to "fight" all this time? Is their supposed hatred of one another a show for the cameras? Do you think they are civil only for awards ceremonies?

Will there be more unity between the Made in Chelsea girls in series 6?

I recently reported on how Lucy Watson and Rosie Fortescue have enjoyed a budding friendship, seemingly going on nights out together and now it seems that the majority of the girls in the Made in Chelsea cast are now getting on. An image has emerged of Lucy Watson, Rosie Fortescue, Binky Felstead and Fran Newman-Young cosying up for a picture together whilst filming, along with Lucie Rake, producer of Made in Chelsea.

It is particularly surprising how Fran Newman-Young is happy to pose in the same picture with Lucy Watson, seeing as it was only last series in which she, along with her sister Olivia and friend Phoebe Lettice were hating on Lucy for showing interest in Phoebe's ex-boyfriend Alex Mytton. However perhaps Fran's friendship with Rosie Fortescue, which we saw emerging last series has introduced her into this new social set and made her more accepting of Lucy.

Cheska Hull has also posted pictures on her Instagram account of herself, Lucy and Binky wrapped in dressing gowns, enjoying time at a spa. Cheska used to be so dismissive of Lucy, so it looks like these two have also managed to put the past behind them.

Now that Millie Mackintosh has left, who was notoriously cliche with Rosie, it has allowed her to become more involved with some of the other MIC girls. It increasingly looks like we will see a more unified girl group this series, with the exception of Stephanie Pratt who is bound to ruffle some feathers!
