While Made In Chelsea season 28 has brought us plenty of drama, we're still reeling from all the chaos caused by newbie in season 27 – and in amongst our fresh faces is Tina Stinnes.
For any OG MIC fans thinking Tina’s looking a wee bit familiar, you’d be right. The star has been a regular on the Chelsea scene throughout her 20s, having first appeared on the show in 2014 as one of Spencer Matthews’ many girlfriends. Three years later, she joined the cast on a weekend break away – much to the dismay of her ex-boyfriend Jamie Laing’s then-girlfriend Frankie Gaff. Now, she’s stepping back into the world of MIC 'for good,’ and we've welcomed her with open arms.
Here’s everything to know about Tina Stinnes – including what she does, who she's dated, and her Love Island links.
Who is Tina Stinnes?
Tina Stinnes is a Made In Chelsea star, joining as a permanent cast member in 2024 after appearing on the show in the past. She is also a former Lover Island contestant from all the way back in 2016.
It’s said Tina is a ‘free spirit [with] a spontaneous personality, [who] prides herself on being loyal. She will always stand up for what she believes in, and won’t let anyone mess her or her friends around.’
And don’t expect to only see Tina on your screen. It’s said the star is ‘obsessed with her miniature Dachshund called Ares, who she takes everywhere she goes.’ Fingers crossed that includes on some MIC outings…
How old is Tina Stinnes?
Born on 25 February 1995, Tina is currently 29 years old. FYI, this also makes her a sensitive and intuitive Pisces.
Where is Tina Stinnes from?
Another born and bred Londoner, Tina currently lives in White City, West London.
Has Tina Stinnes been on Love Island?
Cast your mind back to 2016, and Love Island fans might recall Tina from her stint on the second season of the dating show. The star entered the villa as a bombshell on day 20, quickly getting on the wrong side of the ever-so-fiery Kady McDermott, who ironically called her a 'Made in Chelsea reject.' She was later dumped on day 40.
Speaking to The Sun in 2017, Tina - who starred on MIC both before and after entering the villa - said, ‘I can see how people feel, especially when there is no one in there for them. It can be a really shit, horrible feeling, and you can feel really lonely.'
What does Tina Stinnes do for a living?
An environmentalist through and through, Tina actually has a pretty impressive day job. The star co-runs a sustainable swimwear brand called Litora Studio with her friend Jessica Dixon. The company describes themselves as being focused on ‘sustainability, durability, and luxury,' with prices starting from £40 for bottoms and tops separately.
Which Made In Chelsea cast members is Tina Stinnes friends with?
Tina went to Hampstead Fine Arts College with Ruby Adler, meaning she also already knows Ruby’s on-off boyfriend Reza Amiri-Garroussi. Elsewhere in the world of Chelsea, she's familiar with the likes of Harvey Armstrong, Verity Bowditch, and Lauren Sintes.
Tina is also close pals with Olivia Bentley – however it’s not expected that we’ll see them spending time together, after Liv recently announced she was stepping away from the show to focus on her brand, JOMO.
Is Tina Stinnes single?
Right before becoming a permanent member of MIC, she had split up with a mystery live-in boyfriend of four years. Now, having been single for the past year and a half, Tina says she’s ‘open to finding love with the right person.’ Explaining what she’s looking for in her ideal man, she’s a fan of ‘guys with good energy and fun personalities.’ There’s plenty of them in SW3, surely?
Plus, she already knows the ins and outs of what it takes to date a reality star. In the past, Tina’s been linked to the likes of Too Hot To Handle’s Jackson (A.K.A Matthew Mawhinney) and Love Island’s Eyal Booker. Lately on the show, she's been going closer to Miles Nazaire, so we'll have to keep an eye on the pair to see if they can make it last.
Does Tina Stinnes have Instagram?
