After a typically dramatic spring season of Made in Chelsea, the SW3 residents must be in desperate need of another working holiday. So in true The White Lotus style, they've all headed off to the five star Avani and Khao Lak resort in Thailand to kick off series 30, which means it won't be long before the show returns to our screens.

From our social media sleuthing, we can see that a few cast favourites were missing from the trip, and a few exes were looking quite cosy too. Here's what we know so far about series 30 of the hit E4 reality show, from potential start date to storylines and new cast members...

When does Made in Chelsea series 30 start?

We don't know exactly when series 30 of Made in Chelsea will air, but following past scheduling patterns, it is likely to arrive at the beginning of September. Each series starts with a group holiday to a luxurious location, with past series seeing the cast fly to Mauritius, the Maldives, Australia, Ibiza and Bali, to name a few, and this summer they are all in Thailand.

They will then return to Chelsea for their usual antics and lavish social lives.

Who is returning for series 30 of Made in Chelsea?

Fans can expect to see E4 mainstays like Tristan Phipps, Jules Pollard, David 'Temps' Temple, Jazz Saunders, Freddie Knatchbull and Yasmine Zweegers. It will also see the return of Freddie's ex, Beks Collins, as well as last season newbie Arman PK.

It looks like Sam Prince did not join the cast in Thailand, but he seems to have been filming with Reza Amiri-Garroussi back in London. Ruby Adler was also noticeably absent, instead posting photos of her trip to Greece on Instagram. Likewise newlyweds Sam Vanderpump and Alice Yaxley were nowhere to be seen on the holiday, but it's likely they will still be part of the show from home.

Are there any new cast members is in Made in Chelsea series 30?

Of course, it wouldn't be a new season of Made in Chelsea without a few new faces. Most notably, former Love Island star Chuggs has made a bold return to the show, after briefly dipping in and out a few times over the years. He's been hanging out in Thailand with Jules and Tristan, so we are likely to see him join the fold for the rest of series 30 too.

Joining Yasmine and Beks' squad is 24-year-old Molly Paradice, who runs her own jewellery line and has joined the cast of the E4 show. They are also good friends with Olly Claxton Newman, who is also new to the show and joining the cast on their Thai getaway.

Storylines from series 30...

As for plot predictions, by the looks of Yasmine's rekindled friendships with Temps, and Jules and Tristan, it looks as though her will-they-won't-they with Sam Prince might be over.

Best friends Jazz and Jules are still very much joined at the hip, and Jazz has been sure to shout out her girlfriend Demi Simms from the beach in Thailand, honouring her with a post to celebrate London Pride by wearing a t-shirt that says 'I love my hot girlfriend'.

It's unclear whether there is anything romantic going on between Beks and Freddie again, but at least Tristan and Jules are still going strong too.
