Jasmine Saunders has been on the Made in Chelsea scene since series 26, and her year on reality TV has been largely centred around her colourful love life. Never short of male attention, Jazz has caught the eye of several co-stars, including Harvey Armstrong, Miles Nazaire and Sam Vanderpump. But there is someone in Chelsea who has carried the brightest torch for Jazz, and that’s Freddy Knatchbull.
Until a regrettable lapse of judgement in series 27, Freddy – who joined in series 25 - seemed to epitomise the idea that nice guys finish last. From the moment Jazz burst onto Made in Chelsea, he made it abundantly clear that he was into her, and was a strong shoulder for her to cry on throughout her lows of dating. Fans really started to root for him and hoped that one day she would realise that they were perfect for each other.
When the crew headed to Mauritius in series 27, Freddy and Jazz let their guards down to really explore the flirty side of their friendship, with the pair sharing kisses and discussing the prospect of progressing romantically.
But, back in Chelsea, Freddy admitted to sharing a bed with Harvey’s now ex-girlfriend, Zeyno Taylan, after a night out in Raffles, leaving a disappointed Jazz calling things off between them.
‘Right now, you’re just a boy. With me, that can’t run,’ she told him. ‘Keep the flowers, give them to the next one. See you around.’
Safe to say, fans weren’t happy with Freddy’s actions, taking to social media in droves to condemn the reality star’s latest actions.
One wrote, ‘Now he’s f**ked up. Oh Freddy! Why would you do that when you’ve been trying so hard to be with Jazz. It’s [a] really bad move. Not a good look at all. I didn’t expect that from you whatsoever.’
Another even went to far as to call Freddy a ‘hypocrite’ saying, ‘The penny drops! Freddy, yes you are a hypocrite! Having a go at Miles and Hugo, now you’ve done exactly that. I expected better from you. Absolutely awful. I’m not going to sit here and feel sorry for him. He’s completely thrown it.’
Overwhelmingly it seemed that fans were incredibly disappointed by Freddy’s actions because it threw into question what women have been wondering all along: perhaps there’s just no such thing as a 'nice guy'.
Could it be that Freddy was never really into Jazz at all and was instead more excited by the idea of her and was enjoying the chase? Certainly it seemed that once she was single and ready to finally give Freddy a go, he immediately jumped ship. And with someone in a relationship no less!
What it has meant for Freddy Knatchbull and Jazz Saunders' friendship, we’ll have to wait until series 28 to find out.
