Tom Zanetti didn't expect Made In Chelsea to be so 'set up' as he makes debut

Tom Zanetti confirmed his Made In Chelsea debut after getting into a relationship with Sophie Hermann.

The DJ, 31, fell head over heels for the German star after they met on E4 dating series Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion.

The two hit it off immediately and opted for going on dates with each other after things didn’t work out with their non-celeb suitors.

After striking up a romance with Sophie, Tom was invited to join her on Made In Chelsea, where she has shared her details of her personal life with viewers.

Speaking of his first days of filming, Tom revealed he didn't expect the show to be so 'set up' as he opened up to The Only Way Is Essex’s Bobby Norris and co-host Stephen Leng on their Access All Areas show on FUBAR Radio.

"I didn't know what to expect. But I kind of thought it would be more like following you around and stuff like that," he told the hosts of his first foray into reality TV.

"I didn't realise it would be, you know, like settings, like set up in a way. In a way, yes, it is set up... They'll set up an amazing setting and a backdrop and then you're given a topic to discuss…”

He continued: “That doesn't discredit it at all. It was set up but, then you've got to film it so many times from so many different angles.

"And then, you get the wides, and then you get the pretties and then you get this and that."

Tom went on to say filming for the reality series was ‘draining and tiring’ but the editing makes it look ‘so beautiful on screen.’

The You Want Me singer recently revealed that his son has given his seal of approval for his relationship with Sophie.

“We’re having a good time – we’re just enjoying it and seeing what happens,” he said of his relationship.

“Deaconn thinks she’s ace – he think she’s really funny and classy. He said, ‘Dad, she’s really bossy... but in a good way!’.”
