If there's a Chelsea-shaped hole in your life, or you've been longing to spend your nights watching a group of very rich people go on luxurious holidays for work, then we've got good news for you: Made in Chelsea series 27 is back!
We last caught up with the cast on their winter break in Sydney just before Christmas, and knowing them, a lot will have happened between then and now. Are Ruby Adler and Reza Amiri-Garroussi actually back together? Will we see more of the loved-up Sam Prince and Yasmine Zweegers? What's going on between Liv Bentley and Temps? We have questions.
What days is Made In Chelsea on?
The new series of Made in Chelsea started Monday 15th April at 9pm. And while it's previous holiday-based iterations have treated us to nightly viewing across the course of a week, this season we're back to our regular scheduled programming of weekly viewing. That means you can look forward to Made in Chelsea being on you screen every Monday night for the forseeable!
Where was the new season of Made In Chelsea filmed?
Last year ended with tensions running high as the gang departed Sydney. Leaving their passports at home, the newest season will see them once again back in London.
While season 27 will be Chelsea-based, rumours did swirl over episodes filmed in a more exotic location. In true Made in Chelsea style, prior to the new season airing the cast seem to have recently returned from *another* luxurious holiday. At first glance, pictures of the tanned cast posing on the sandy beaches of Mauritius are a jealousy-inducing sight to behold, but the silver lining is surely that they must have been there filming the new series?
They could just be friends on holiday together... but our reality TV senses are telling us otherwise. While the timing seems suspiciously soon for the season 27 release, the only other option is that they were filming another holiday-based series for after season 27 finishes airing. We're calling it, MIC: Mauritius is on the way!
Who is on the new series of Made In Chelsea?
Returning cast members for season 27 include Reza Amiri-Garroussi, Sam Prince, Yasmine Zweegers, James Taylor, Maeva D'Ascanio, Harvey Armstrong, Paris Smith, Tristan Phipps, Ruby Adler, Lauren Sintes, Emily Blackwell, Miles Nazaire, and David 'Temps' Templer.
There's also set to be some new faces joining the show. The four new cast members include James Taylor's younger brother Jack Taylor, 22, Julia 'Muffin' Pollard, 21, Harvey Armstrong's girlfriend Zeyno Taylan, 24, and Sam Vanderpump, 26, who is the nephew of reality TV icon Lisa Vanderpump.
Also joining the cast full time will be Tina Stinnes, 28, who long-time fans of the show may recognise from her past appearances on the show.
Has Liv Bentley left Made In Chelsea?
Sadly, it's been confirmed that show favourite Liv Bentley is taking a break from filming, but will be returning later in the year. A spokesperson for Channel 4 told The Sun: 'Liv Bentley has been sharing her life with Made in Chelsea audiences for the past eight years and is now taking a short but well-earned break from the series to focus on her business – JOMO. We look forward to welcoming her back to the show later this year.'
Has Bella Sharpe left Made in Chelsea?
Another star who will not be returning to our screens is Bella Sharpe. Having been introduced as Reza's love interest last season, it's been reported that the fashion PR has quit the show following her dramatic love triangle.
Is there a trailer for Made in Chelsea season 27?
Yes! E4 recently dropped the new trailer over on X, and it looks like there's a lot of drama coming our way. Tensions seem to rise as Miles can be heard telling friend Freddy, 'She told me that you guys are just friends,' while a teary-eyed Ruby asks Reza whether he has feelings for another woman.
Frankly, we can't wait to see it all unfold.
Made in Chelsea starts Monday 15 April at 9pm on E4. Stream on Channel 4.
