Cast your mind back to the original and glory days of Made in Chelsea, 2011 onwards, when Spencer Matthews, Binky Felstead, Hugo Taylor, Millie Mackintosh and Caggie Dunlop were all the talk of the King's Road.
The years following the original series were also iconic, with Francis Boulle teaming up with his besties Jamie Laing and Oliver Proudlock to give us all the Chelsea LOLs. They even called themselves Three Lost Bois.
Even though we know where Jamie is now (getting ready to marry his co-star Sophie Habboo), less is known about Francis, who starred on the show all the way up until series six and then returning in series ten for the Christmas special in 2015. After he left, he went on to host the Private Parts podcast alongside his pal Jamie.
Even though Francis, who now lives in the United States and is a Jiu Jitsu Competitor, seems to shy away from social media these days, he recently debuted a buzz cut hair do and moustache. We're not going to lie, we're huge fans - still handsome.
He also took to Instagram to share a throwback of the very first series of the show where he slammed producers for setting up scenes.
Alongside a snap of himself rowing with Fredrik Ferrier, he shared a hilarious anecdote of life behind the scenes, "In the first season of MIC we had weekly development calls with the producers to try to come up with ideas for scenes, when I told them that I used to row competitively they pushed hard to set up a scene with me and @fredrikferrier rowing. Me: 'But Fred has never rowed before, we’ll look ridiculous' Producers 'Don’t worry we want to make you look really cool like the Winklevoss twins in the Social Network.'
"I remember feeling half excited to show off my rowing skills but conversely very nervous that they wanted to put us in a pair which is a notoriously precarious boat to balance and @fredrikferrier was not an experienced oarsman.
"After a bit of time practicing so Fred could get his bearings we pulled in to the boat house to film the scene. At the end of the scene we we’re supposed to push off and row away and in an attempt to to show off I (regretfully) attempted a somewhat advanced launch technique where you pull in your oar all the way across the boat and use it to push off. Unfortunately instead of leaning in to the jetty Fred intuitively leaned the opposite way which put the jetty out of the reach of my blade and meant we we were balancing on a knife edge."
He finished, "The rest as they say is history. It was a freezing cold day and I remember being seriously gutted and seeking the producers reassurance that they would cut out the falling in the river part. Producers 'Of course we would never leave that in - we want you to look cool, you know like the Winklevoss twins'.
"There were many such instances like this over the years and you had to learnt to not take yourself too seriously and overcome your ego. But the moral of the story I suppose is to never trust TV producers!"
No wonder he's left his MIC days behind him... Anyway, here's everything else you'll want to know about Francis.
