Rosie Fortescue is one of the Made In Chelsea originals. And who doesn't love an original cast member? She appeared on the show when it first launched in 2011 - yep, we’ve been watching the show for that long - and though these days she's not as constant a presence as she was back in the day (sob), she still crops up every now and then with a witty one liner and some no-nonsense advice.

But how much do you really know about Rosie? Besides the fact that she’s BFFs with Binky Felstead, Millie Mackintosh and Louise Thompson, and can be relied upon to fill those awkward silences with whatever’s on her mind? Here's everything you need to know:

How old is Rosie Fortescue?

She’s currently 30 years old. Her date of birth is 3 January 1990.

Where did Rosie Fortescue go to school?

Rosie went to Downe House Boarding School. The very same girls’ school that Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge went to. After that she headed off to Goldsmiths, University of London to do a History of Art degree which seems rather fitting, don't you think?

Does Rosie Fortescue have a twin sister?

Why yes she does. Her name is Lily and no, they’re not identical. Lily, who is not part of the Sloaney MIC cast, has founded a dating app called Ciao, which focuses on location based dating. (Instead of matching you with a whole bunch of virtual singles within a few miles' radius, it should pair you up with people in the same bar or venue, meaning you're far more likely to approach them IRL. Plus, it puts safety at the forefront of the experience, which is always a plus.)

Does Rosie Fortescue have a blog?

It’s called At Fashion Forte and it’s all about Rosie’s love of fashion - particularly street style.

Rosie’s jewellery line

Rosie founded her own jewellery line called, you guessed it, Rosie Fortescue, which is chic and affordable. She's launching a new collection from the brand this summer, along with a new website too. She has also partnered with jewellery brand Laura Gravestock a little while ago, to create The Dream Collection.

Rosie Fortescue's net worth

Oh hello, nosey. It's estimated to be £1.1 million.

Rosie on Twitter

She’s @RosieFortescue and tends to tweet a lot about her blog, jewellery and fashion.

Rosie on Instagram

She goes by @rosiefortescue over here as well, which is helpful. Again, lots of really cool, very beautiful shots of her street style stuff, all dressed up for fancy events and just generally being Rosie Fortescue. But she also likes to throw a foodie shot into the mix every now and again. Mac and cheese has popped up more than once.

Rosie Fortescue and Kim Kardashian

There are two names you probably never expected to find side-by-side, but here we are. Two reality TV world collide. What's the occasion? Well, funnily enough, Rosie sat to interview Kim Kardashian about the Kardashian collaboration with Lipsy back in 2014. You can watch what went down below:

Who is Rosie Fortescue's boyfriend? Is she single?

Rosie is either a) very much single b) not one of those showy social media relationship types c) all of the above. In short: she keeps her dating history on the DL.. Which we appreciate.
