One of Made in Chelsea's season 27's recruits was Jules 'Muffin' Pollard. Now in her third season of the E4 show, Jules has left 'Muffin' behind, she seems more comfortable in front of the camera than ever before and she's bagged herself a co-star boyfriend in the form of Tristan Phipps.
'Going by the name "Muffin" on television was quite a big thing,' Julia told Grazia last year. 'I used to get so many comments and I was like absolutely not. I just thought I had to rebrand because last series I made a few mistakes and now I've rebranded as Jules. Everyone still refers to me as Muffin though, so I don't think I can get rid of the name...'
'Last series, I came across as quite shy compared with how I am in real life,' she added. 'I'm such a jokey person.' Season 29 of Made in Chelsea has only just started and we can already see a different side to Jules. If you're loving her as much as we are, here’s everything to know about the MIC star.
Who is Julia 'Muffin' Pollard?
Jules joined Made In Chelsea at the start of 2024. A mere 21 years old, she joined Jack Taylor as one of the youngest cast members.
Why does Jules call herself Muffin?
Born Julia Pollard, Muffin is merely a pet name the star has picked up for herself over the years. It’s said Jules got the nickname Muffin from her friends, who think the star ‘gives off super sweet energy'. That said, she also isn't afraid to stand up for herself when needed.
However, as we said (and Jules told us all last season), she hopes to leave her Muffin days in the past.
Where is she from?
Jules currently lives in Battersea, southwest London, which just so happens to be where fellow newbie Jack Taylor also calls home. She is also half Norwegian – revealing that her half Scandinavian heritage is 'a hit' with men – and her Norwegian mum has appeared on the show several times.
What does Jules Pollard do for a living?
It’s not yet quite clear exactly what Jules does professionally when she isn’t on MIC, however we do know how she likes to spend her spare time. Jules loves going to the gym, cooking, meeting the girls for a cheeky Aperol, partying and doting on her new boyfriend Tristan. By the looks of her social media, she loves a holiday too. Sounds like a great life to us!
Which Made In Chelsea cast members is Jules Pollard friends with?
Jules is best friends with Jazz Saunders, who joined the show the season before she did. After meeting through mutual friends, the pair hit it off and have been close ever since. She told us, 'I would say Jazz, Zeyno and Ruby are my girls. We've become so close. I would say it took a while for Ruby to crack or warm up to me. I was a bit scared of her when I first joined the show...'
However, in the new season we have seen Jules get closer with Lauren Sintes (an ex of Tristan's) too.
Is Jules Pollard single?
No, Jules is firmly off the market and has been in a relationship with Tristan since the end of last year. They are very cute together. Jules and Tristan have said they love each other and are talking seriously about the future. Did they just swoop in last minute to become the strongest couple on the show? Quite possibly.
Does Julia 'Muffin' Pollard have Instagram?
You can keep up to date with Jules' life over on Instagram @juliafp_, where her hair looks flawless in literally every. single. photo.
Made in Chelsea season 28 airs every Monday on E4. Stream on Channel 4.
