Harvey Armstrong caused quite a scene when he was introduced to Made in Chelsea in the Buenos Aires spin-off five years ago. But, you know, it was totally a coincidence... Harvey, who is Sophie Habboo’s ex of three years, was conveniently in Argentina on a business trip when she was filming MIC.
Harvey is also known for going out with Sophie's former best mate Emily Blackwell, who he dated for two years before they broke up when he was caught cheating.
Nowadays, Harvey juggles his time between filming Made in Chelsea and pouring his efforts into ‘beers and business’. Here’s everything you need to know about the reality star, all in one handy place.
When did Harvey Armstrong join Made in Chelsea?
Harvey was introduced as Sophie Habboo’s ex-boyfriend in Made in Chelsea: Buenos Aires in 2019, which naturally caused quite a bit of drama, especially where her current beau and now husband Jamie Laing was concerned! And let’s not forget about the tension Harvey’s arrival also caused between Sophie and Olivia Bentley…
What does Harvey Armstrong do?
Well, quite a lot of things, actually. He started off as a chartered accountant at PwC before launching a craft beer start-up, Prime Time, with former co-star Sam Holmes. Prime Time is a 'new innovative craft beer brand looking to shake up the traditional market' which has 'launched the world’s first caffeine infused low calorie lager along with our low calorie craft lager.' Last year, he and fellow Made in Chelsea star Gareth Locke-Locke launched a new bar and eatery called BÓHA. Any guesses for where it's located? Yep, that's right. The King's Road.
Harvey also plays rugby for Gibraltar, apparently. He must have a busy diary.
How old is Harvey Armstrong?
Harvey will turn 30 in January; he celebrates his birthday on the 9th.
Who is Harvey Armstrong dating?
As far as we know - i.e. according to his IG - Harvey is currently single. His last long-term relationship was with Emily Blackwell, but they split in 2021. They got together during lockdown which caused a bit of drama at the time, as Emily was best mates with Habbs (keep up?!) and it involved Emily moving out of the house they both shared with Miles Nazaire.
But their relationship was far from smooth sailing, and they split three years ago after he cheated on her. Emily turned to her old pal Miles for advice, who told her, 'All you’re asking for is a little bit of maturity when it comes to being a partner – it’s just like grow up a little bit now. You’ve got to know your worth and how amazing you are. I don’t want you to second gauss yourself or doubt yourself.' He concluded, ‘You are amazing, and he needs to know that – he’s being an idiot.'
After pining to get her back, it didn't work, and now Emily is happily engaged to her partner Jordan Oldershaw, with the pair recently announcing their pregnancy news too!
Harvey has dated several MIC stars since Emily, including Willow Day and Zeyno Taylan.
