However, viewers on Twitter were less impressed by Christine's supposed 'namedropping' on the show, with one writing: "Christine: So like, I totally woke up in my Armani bed and oh my god I popped two Mugler Tylenol because I had a terrible dream that my Dior bags were fighting each other. Anyways I’m having diamond-infused Chanel toast for breakfast, you want some?"

Another added: "Christine: ahh I have the same necklace as you especially when I say next to Prince Charles."
Have you checked out the show yet? The official synopsis reads: "Bling Empire follows a wildly wealthy group of Asian and Asian American friends (and frenemies) in Los Angeles. While their days and nights are filled with fabulous parties and expensive shopping sprees, don’t let the glitz and glamour fool you.
Have you been enjoying the series?
"Between running multi-billion dollar businesses and travelling the world, these friends are as good at keeping secrets as they are at spilling them. And there is certainly no shortage of secrets."
