Louise Thompson's father Mike has reacted to the iconic Made In Chelsea bridge scene where Spencer Matthews cruelly dumps her.

In one of the most memorable moments of the Channel 4 show back in 2013, Spencer, 37, met Louise on Putney Bridge where they ended their relationship in explosive fashion after his cheating had come to light. 

During the very heated shouting match Spencer said to the now influencer, 35,: 'It's very hard to respect you when you allow me to cheat on you!'

Spencer has previously said that he now feels 'so embarrassed' about the scene, saying their relationship was very 'toxic' and that he was a heavy drinker at the time.

And this week Louise's dad appeared on her He Said She Said podcast where they chatted about her time on the show and watched back the bridge moment together.

After the clip played Mike exclaimed: 'Right!', as Louise said: 'It's actually a bit savage isn't it!'

Shockingly Mike then said: 'Not really...', as Louise's fiancé Ryan Libbey then screamed: 'What!' as he implored him to explain his point of view. 

Mike then continues: 'It looks terribly staged, it doesn't seem spur of the moment in real life. It looks filmed which is what it is...'.

Louise then adds: 'It was really awkward personal stuff so for you you probably think I don't need to see my children muddling through that.'

Mike responded: 'Well nobody saw me... I got more of the Spanish archer el bow with girls in my teenage years than you could throw a cat at and I didn't expect my kids to be worrying about me cos my favourite girl had told me to 'p**s off!'

Mike then joked Louise should 'toughen up' after she said her nickname on the show was 'tears Thompson' as she used to cry all the time on the show.

Back in 2023 Spencer revealed that he regrets the famous scene where he and Louise broke up on Putney Bridge.

Reflecting on the scene Spencer explained on Elizabeth Day's How To Fail podcast that the pair had actually broken up in private the night before and were then told to meet the next day by producers.

He said: 'So I had actually broken up with Louise the night before and I told her about the next scene and she came in steaming hot breaking up with me instead and I was like 'this isn't real anymore!' 

'At the time I was a heavy drinker and there was a change in the wind and our relationship was very toxic at the time and it meant we had a huge screaming match that I really regret.

'You know we're not friends but I have no hard feelings towards her I wish her all the bets but it's a shame I yelled at her that way because I feel embarrassed about it. But had I not told her the night before it would have been different. 

'I would have broken up with her and she would have had a different reaction but actually she came in knowing what the scene was about. So it was not real.'

He continued about the show in general: 'I hate being known as Spencer from Made In Chelsea I hate it. I don't like reality TV. I am ashamed and embarrassed at some of my actions, I wish I had cared what people thought of me at that time.

'I behaved in ways that were a bit shocking and I thought it was funny at the time but lads thought it was cool. But actually it was a bit s**t. 

'But if I'd been a lovely guy I wouldn't have been in the show then. The worse behaved you are the bigger you are on the show and I wanted to be the biggest.'

Spencer and Louise dated on and off for the first few seasons of Made In Chelsea before finally calling it quits in 2013. 

Viewers saw the couple part ways in an acrimonious fashion which came after ladies' man Spencer admitted to cheating on the tiny brunette multiple times, including sleeping with another girl in Louise's own bed.

Louise quickly went on to date MIC co-star Andy Jordan while womanizing Spencer quickly developed another doomed relationship with Lucy Watson. 

Spencer is now married to Irish TV presenter Vogue Williams and the pair share three children Otto, Theodore and Gigi.

Meanwhile Louise is engaged to personal trainer Ryan with the pair welcoming their first child Leo in 2021.  

During the podcast chat Spencer opened up about Made In Chelsea and spoke about his decision to leave the show after five years. 

He said: 'MIC at the time was great fun, it was original it was interesting to do at that age. But you grow and evolve like with any job and it can become not so great of a match anymore, people change and they move on. 

'I loved MIC at the start. You would sit in a scene and you wouldn't actually know what was going to happen.

'But then my character changed very clearly and that was when I had had enough of it. Nobody lives dramatic lives in the way we were told to portray drama - I like to avoid drama! I don't want it. 

'I look black on it and became very produced, the outcome is written into the scene before you even go into it - so I thought what is the point .

'I was just over it at that point but it took me five years!'

Spencer left the show in 2015 after securing a place on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
