One of season 27's newest recruits was Julia ‘Muffin’ Pollard. Now in her second Made in Chelsea season, Julia has left 'Muffin' behind and is excited to showcase more of her personality.
'Going by the name "Muffin" on television was quite a big thing,' Julia tells Grazia. '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...'
With season 28 in full swing, Muffin, sorry Jules, says 'this series a lot more of my personality is shown'. 'Last series, I came across as quite shy compared with how I am in real life. I'm such a jokey person.'
So who is Jules friends with on the show? 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’s joining Jack Taylor as one of this year’s 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 Julia 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 in episode one), 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.
Although she now resides in London, Muffin is actually half Norwegian – revealing that her half Scandinavian heritage is 'a hit' with men.
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. It’s said Muffin loves going to the gym, meeting the girls for a cheeky Aperol, and partying and flirting with boys. 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 already pals 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 said, '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...'
Is Jules Pollard single?
In this season of MIC, we see Jules dating Tristan again, new boy Angus and possibly a few others too. 'I definitely have a few romances this series,' she tell us, 'and some lasted longer than others. Maybe one is still lasting now... that's why watching it back feels so weird because it feels like it happened so long ago.'
While not much is known about Jules' dating history off the show, she is a self-professed flirt.
Luckily for her, there’s plenty of eligible bachelors in SW3!
