Privacy NoticeE4 reality show Made in Chelsea and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games are two programmes you would never expect to see in the same sentence – however, viewers have taken to social media to point out a surprise connection between the two during Friday night’s opening ceremony. The 2024 Olympic Games kicked off on Friday with a grand opening ceremony, taking place on the River Seine – with some of Europe’s greatest hits being played throughout. From Darude’s Sandstorm to Gala’s Freed from Desire, the most popular tunes to come from the continent were played as a cast of dancers showed off their best moves on a moving barge. However, one particular song took British viewers by surprise, with many recognising it as the theme song to E4’s Made in Chelsea. “Why they playing the Made in Chelsea song? #OpeningCeremony #ceremoniedouverture,” one viewer wrote. Another said: “Not Made in Chelsea down the Seine! #Olympics #OpeningCeremony #Paris2024.”

Another confused viewer wrote: “Is made in chelsea on?? #paris2024 #Opening Ceremony.” Another said: “Little Made in Chelsea nod there? #OpeningCeremony.” While there could well be Made in Chelsea fans in France, its theme song Midnight City was most likely played as it belongs to French electronic group M83. Midnight City was the group’s breakout single back in 2011 before it became synonymous with Made in Chelsea. At the start of the ceremony, BBC viewers took to social media to complain about audio problems, caused by the heavy rain in Paris. One user said: “Can’t quite hear over the rain #Olympics #OpeningCeremony.” Another wrote: “You can hear the rain over the music and singing…did anyone thought about giving them individual mics and mic receivers so the world can hear what’s going on or more for whoever is watching on the Seine? #OlympicGames #olympics #OpeningCeremony.”

Speaking to OK! in an exclusive chat ahead of the Olympics, BBC commentator Paula Radcliffe revealed that her daughter Isla, 17, would be joining her in Paris to work as a volunteer at the Games after beating a rare form of cancer. Four years ago, she was diagnosed with a rare germ cell cancer and after chemotherapy and surgery, she was cured. Reflecting on her daughter’s ordeal, Paula told OK! that it was much more challenging than competing in the Olympics. “Obviously it was for Isla but also the whole family,” she said. “You learn though what is important in life and it puts everything into perspective. We were very fortunate as we had a good prognosis, but it really makes you learn how to take everything step by step, trust the process – and the amazing doctors.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
