May marked the ten-year anniversary since the show finale, and whilst it may have been a decade since the programme ended, the drama was still rife as Heidi and Spencer revealed that they were left out from the episode which only featured Lauren Conrad - who quit in series five.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, the couple seethed: 'She doesn't want to share any limelight with anybody else.

'Don't include Heidi and I. Where is Audrina? Where is Brody? These are very entertaining people, their lives are packed.'

They continued: 'That's why she quit The Hills. Not because she burned out - she didn't want other people to shine.

'She quit thinking they were going to cancel the show. She quit thinking she was going to get everybody off TV. That's been her style from day one.

'"Oh, other people are getting some press? forget that. My show - I narrate it."'

Whilst Stephanie didn't speak about the decision to be excluded from the reunion show, ahead of its release she told MailOnline: 'I'm really honoured and proud to be part of this show as it was my first reality show.

'And it's even more amazing that I'm now part of the British spin-off [Made In Chelsea].

'It was the first reality show of its type and in a way, we were the boss. They filming crew were great liked that and worked around our schedules and was very relaxed.'

In the years since The Hills went off the air, Heidi and husband Spencer have amassed and lost a fortune and Whitney Port had her own spin-off show, The City.

Lauren Conrad is now a bestselling author and designer, and Brody Jenner has appeared on his step-siblings' reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
