There are many blonde bombshells in Made In Chelsea, but one that stands out for her personality just as much as her lovely swishy hair is Sophie Hermann. The cast member first appeared on the show years ago in series nine before leaving to take a break back in 2015. Then she returned to bless our TV screens with a whole host of fabulous outfits and some witty one-liners, before disappearing again after series 22.
We sat down with Sophie - a little while ago now - to quiz her on everything there is to know about her, because, we're very nosy and also happen to be huge Made In Chelsea fans. Here's what we found out...
What Is Sophie’s full name?
Sophie Caroline Hermann. How very fancy!
How old is Sophie Hermann?
She is 36. Thirty, flirty and thriving, some may say...
Where is Sophie Hermann from?

Who is Sophie Hermann dating?
Well, if you watched Celebs Go Dating you'll know that she found love with Tom Zanetti. More on that here... But after a brief cameo on MIC, the couple split. She previously told Grazia, ‘We have never defined anything because we only had the time to see each other for a short amount of time. It was nice to see him again, and to actually be able to hang out.’ Fascinatingly, she has also previously been connected with Johnny Depp. As in the A List Hollywood actor.
Which school did Sophie Hermann go to?
Seeing as she grew up in Switzerland, Sophie attended the Institut auf dem Rosenberg Boarding School in St.Gallen. That's right. She's serving up brains and beauty over here.
What’s Sophie Hermann’s job?
Aside from appearing on Made In Chelsea, Sophie is a fashion designer and social media influencer (we mean, have you seen her Instagram?). She previously designed a fairytale-like dress collection for Oktoberfest, which she attends every year, by the way. She's also collaborated with high-street brand Never Fully Dressed. Essentially, she's a lady of many talents.
What is Sophie Hermann's net worth?
Right, let's not be too nosey now! An educated guess and a healthy stalk of her Instagram will tell you that it's probably quite a bit.
Is Sophie Hermann a natural blonde?

Is Sophie Hermann really a Duchess?
During her stint on Celebs Go Dating viewers were noticing she was calling herself the 'Duchess' as did her ex-boyfriend Tom Zanetti. However, she is not a REAL duchess it's just a nickname. Having said that, we wouldn't be surprised if she really was one!
What’s Sophie's biggest fear?
Right, Sophie has two very different fears: 'a plane crash, and the comeback of fake fur'. Well, at least she's honest, right?
What does Sophie look for in a guy?
Not just good looks, we'll have you know. Sophie looks for 'good chat - no pretty face can save a lame conversation.' We totally agree. Boring guys, you can sod off!
Who’s Sophie Hermann's favourite Made In Chelsea co-star?
Sophie once told us that she 'absolutely loves Jamie Laing, but Victoria and Mark Francis are [her] timeless classics.' No surprise there! Now, she's pretty close with Fredrik Ferrier.
She's also great friends with former co-stars Gareth and Ollie Locke, and often posts photos on social media of the trio out for fancy dinners. Even if she uses some pretty heavy duty filters...
Which foundation does Sophie Hermann use?
One look at her Instagram will show you that Sophie's skin is literally glowing. She tells us that to achieve this look, she switches between the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation and the Chanel CC Cream. Brb, currently adding them both to our shopping baskets.

We got to chat exclusively with the duchess about her extensive skincare routine and make-up must-haves... more of this here.

The duo were reportedly linked - but Sophie has remained tight lipped about this rumoured romance.
Where does Sophie Hermann live?
Sophie lives in London, and has recently decorated her swanky flat. She told us that the walls of her flat are white or cream, because she like to accessorise with my favourite colours, which are light pink, blush and green. Check out Sophie Hermann's flat here for more interior design inspiration.
What is Sophie Hermann's favourite work out?
According to the sass Queen herself, Sophie swears by an exercise class which is meant to give you the benefits of a two-hour exercise class... in just a fraction of the time. It appears we all need to try Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), more about this here.
