Meet Lily Davison, the New Stew on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8
Mustique is the biggest boat that Lily has ever worked on before.
Though Captain Sandy Yawn told Natalya Scudder that she would "never find anyone who is as excellent as [her]" to fill in as a stew on motor yacht Mustique, the newest Below Deck Mediterranean crew member officially arrived on Season 8, Episode 10 (which aired Nov. 27).
Lily Davison will be joining fellow crew members Sandy Yawn, Tumi Mhlongo, Kyle Viljoen, Jack Luby, Luka Brunton, Haleigh Gorman, Lara Du Preez, and Max Salvador for the duration of Season 8 — and, though she's taking over for Natalya, laundry isn't exactly her strong suit.

Who is Lily Davison, the new stew on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8?
Lily grew up in Windsor, "like 20 miles from London," she shared on Below Deck Med. "But there's obviously Windsor Castle there, like where Harry and Meghan got married. Throughout university, for like the last four or five years, I was working at key events in England, be it Royal Ascot, [or] Wimbledon."
Fast-forward to when Lily arrived in Genoa, Italy, and she had just a few hours to get ready to welcome the next set of charter guests. "I'm a quick learner, so don't worry," the Englishwoman told her boss, chief stew Tumi. "I've done loads of hospitality, like I was a manager of Wimbledon."
Before she joined the crew, Lily worked on two other boats. "This is my first yacht that I've worked on," she admitted. "My last boat was a catamaran, 45 foot, way smaller. I've never worked on a boat this big; I'm literally sh-tting myself. No, no, wait. Not literally."
