Mark-Francis Vandelli regrets taking part in Made in Chelsea.
The reality TV star - who is known for his extravagant ways and posh accent on the E4 series - has revealed he didn't expect there to be so much intrusion on his private life when he signed up for the show.
Mark-Francis VandelliQuizzed on whether his mother's worries about the limelight have put him off being famous, he said: "When I was approached to film 'Made In Chelsea', I did not expect it to be quite what it's become in terms of following people's private lives.
"Had I known, I'd have been mortified and not even considered it. I really don't think people need to know about my private life. It's not that fascinating."
The 25-year-old art dealer - whose mother is Russian socialite Diane Boulting-Casserley Vandelli and whose father is the Italian former industrialist Marzio Vandelli - also explained his mother's feelings about fame.
He told heat magazine: "I'm very close to my mother, she was born into a vaguely public family and did everything she could to run away from that. She was afraid of the limelight, because she knows it can ruin everything - and she's right."
