It looks like the next series ofMade In Chelsea is going to be very different indeed. Previously, there wererumours about a cast shake up after Emily Blackwell and Miles Nazaire expressed doubt about quitting the E4 reality show. Now, long-time cast member Julius Cowdrey has officially confirmed that he won't be heading back to Kings Road any time soon...
The reality star has revealed that terrifying social media abuse and death threats has contributed to his departure. He opened up during Johnny Seifert's Secure The Insecure podcast and said he has 'seen some awful things' posted about himself online, including trolls saying they were going to 'run him over with a car.' Julius also confirmed he deleted Twitter following the abuse he received after appearing on the show.
'I'm pretty robust, but that definitely pierced the skin a bit,' he admitted. 'My God when you first receive online abuse based on your actions and it's been edited, it's really tough. I've seen some awful things - It's not very nice. Adding, 'I had one person saying they wanted to kill me by running me over with their car.'
Julius confirmed that he will now be focusing on building a life away from the E4 show; from his life coaching career to his relationship with co-star Georgia May Salamat. Georgia was introduced on screen during the last series of Made In Chelsea. The pair seemed to be going from strength to strength after meeting each others families and growing closer as the episodes went on.
Julius also reflected on his time featuring on the popular show, 'Everything with Made In Chelsea is short-lived, nothing is long-term, apart from maybe the friendships you form. I looked at my life after I'd just turned 30 and I'd been to all these amazing countries for filming and thought, now is a good time for me to go. Adding, 'I need to focus all my energies on things that actually I'm going to do for the rest of my life. 'I'm also in a relationship as well now and I'm really happy. Does my life exist on the show anymore? I don’t think it does.'
Whilst it hasn't yet been confirmed, all signs point to Miles also leaving the show. Miles previously said on the Playtime Podcast, 'Doing a show for the last five years, and let’s be real, my ‘character’ on the show has been the fuck boy. There’s a part of me that’s a bit sick of it.' He said people come up to him on the street and only ever ask him about Maeva, or who he is dating. 'I haven’t had much of a private life,' he said. 'If [Made in] Chelsea was no more, it would mean all my dramas wouldn’t be aired on TV.'
Viewers will also remember Miles has a very close bond with Julius and Fredrik Ferrier,forming the 'tricep trio.' Fred departed the show last year and now Julius has left. This would leave Miles on the show without his closest allies. So, will he continue? Only time will tell...
