11 cringey modelling photos of the new Irish Made in Chelsea star

We knew her before she was famous.

MADE IN CHELSEA was back on our screens last night - and it featured a new Irish star in the form of model Nicola Hughes.

Before her appearance on the E4 gossip-fest though – she is dating Binky’s ex Alex – Nicola was a model around Dublin. And here is the excruciating evidence:

1. It looks freezing in Stephen’s Green

It’s a rite of passage for all Irish models.

2. And that poor pepper looks unusually happy at being chased

Still, she came through all the stereotypical Irish model photo shoots to make it over to the UK and on to E4. We salute you Nic, it can’t have been easy.
