A new series of Made In Chelsea can only mean more fresh faces. We were recently introduced to royal newcomer Freddie Knatchbull - and now it's time to meet Mel Hornbostel. You might have spotted her looking radiant during the first look of next weeks episode. Mel has been teased as a potential new love interest for Harvey Armstrong after he tells the boys that he's met someone new. Viewers will remember Harvey was recently dumped by Emily Blackwell after cheating on her - but has he changed? Only time will tell.
So, who is Mel? Here's everything we know about the new face in Chelsea.
Who is Mel Hornbostel?
Mel Hornbostel is a model turned reality star who is now set to appear on Made In Chelsea. She recently moved in with Willow Day in London, so perhaps we will also see her hanging around with Chelsea girlsIssy-Francis Baum and Paris Smith.Mel appears to be a woman of many talents as she is a trained ballerina and was also part of the official dance crew for Basketball team, Toronto Raptors. She is currently signed to First Model Management and B&M Model Management.
Where is Mel Hornbostel from?
After some digging we found out that Mel is not from Chelsea - or the UK at all for that matter. Mel is originally from Ontario, Canada. She moved to London in 2019 for university and says on the show she has been here on and off over the last few years. According to her LinkedIn, she got her BA from The University Toronto, and in 2019 she moved to London for further education. Mel studied for her MA at King's College London from 2019-2020. A number of MIC alumni have studied at Kings College London including Verity Bowditch,so perhaps that's how she fell into the Kings Road crowd.
How tall is Mel Hornbostel?
Mel glided onto Kings Road looking like a runway supermodel so, it's understandable why everyone is curious. According to her modelling portfolio, Mel is 5'9.
Is Mel Hornbostel dating Harvey Armstorng?
Well, it looks like they will be going on a dates. They haven't confirmed anything but perhaps we will see their romance blossom during the upcoming episodes. However, after episode 4 (which you can now watch on All 4) it appears Harvey might have some competition from another one of the Chelsea boys. In the battle for Mel's affection, we wonder who will come out on top...
Does Mel Hornbostel have Instagram?
Yes, so be prepared for more stunning pictures and outfits that are fresh off the runway. We have also noticed that Emily in Parisstar Kevin Dias (who plays Mindy's boyfriend Benoît) liking her pictures so maybe they are friends. Follow her @mel.amber. She currently has 10k followers but that is sure to change dramatically after her debut on screen.
