THE men’s football team are on a rise to stardom after their recent recreation of popular reality series, Made in Chelsea.

The parody videos, uploaded onto YouTube, have received thousands of views and have even been praised by the show’s own, Binky Felstead.

Using the hashtag #MIScene, the lads plan to make the series go viral. Gemma Parry spoke to Tom Cullimore, Alex Lee Josh Allard and John Roberts (pictured below) about their inspiration behind the series, their favourite character roles and on-set chemistry.

So far four videos have featured on YouTube and have had around 2,000 views overall.

GEMMA: Why did you decide to do it?
TOM: We love the show. We all watch it together every week. It was just a bit of an impulse thing.
ALEX: There was an episode with a big scene at the end which we all reacted to in fits. We couldn’t believe what had happened.
TOM: Yeah, we were all screaming at the TV and shaking our fists. And it was in that moment that we all turned and looked at each other and thought, “Why not recreate it?”
ALEX: It was John’s idea. He came up with is and he created it and we’ve never looked back. He’s not just a pretty face.

GEMMA: Who is your favourite character in the show?
ALEX: I think the character we can get the most material from is Spencer.
TOM: He’s just always causing havoc – he’s the wrecking ball of Chelsea. We get a lot of our material from Spence just being an idiot really. His lack of human empathy is something we can really draw on.
ALEX: The most controversial character is definitely Spencer but my favourite character has to be Jamie.
JOSH: To be honest, I’ve ever performed as Andy, but my favourite character has to be Proudlock. He’s just too cool.
JOHN: For me, it’s got to be Mark Francis. He’s incredibly entertaining.
TOM: Francis Boulle. He’s just something else in the whole series. He doesn’t take it all too seriously – it just goes over his head and he takes it all in his stride.

GEMMA: How is seeking international fame going?
TOM: We’ve had a tweet from Alexandra Felstead who plays Binky in Made in Chelsea and she said that she loves our
parody. So it’s going pretty well.
JOHN: When we first started posting the videos on Facebook, the reaction was great. The feedback we get every week while the show is going on is fantastic. We get tweets saying: “We can’t really watch the show without thinking about what scene you’re going to be performing.” So, we’ve decided to make the transition to YouTube, using Facebook and Twitter to promote them, and it’s gone brilliantly. We’ve got over one thousand views for our series so far.
JOSH: In terms of filming, we have our own cameraman, Akash Chibber. It’s really the team behind us and the chemistry we share that makes it work so well. I don’t think that we realised what it would become when we started. But I’ve always said, a good idea is a good idea forever.
