By Spencer Matthews A change of pace was needed in my life – and a bit of detox. I am due to shoot a Made In Chelsea six-episode mini-series in New York City throughout June and July and I want to look my best. So before I started filming in the Big Apple, I decided to go the beautiful island of  St Barts for a bit of R&R. Scroll down for video Having fun? Ollie (L), Spencer (centre) and Stevie (R) pose with a female friend during their trip to St Barts, wehre they have been detoxing and getting fit before heading to New York

BTW – this is pretty hairy for even seasoned flyers and I could see that @placeholder in particular was gripping his seat on the plane pretty tightly.
