Made in Chelsea is back! Yes, on Monday 31 March we were reunited with the Kings Roaders. Kicking things off with a dramatic trip to the Maldives, the gang will soon be back on home soil. Old faces will be making a return including Maeva D'Ascanio, Ruby Adler and Sam Prince. However, we will also be waving hello to some newer faces, including Sam Vanderpump's girlfriend Alice Yaxley and Jack Taylor's girlfriend Livvy Barker.
Sadly, the cast no longer includes 2022 newbie, Issy Francis-Baum. Issy is the ultimate cool girl and joined the group in Mallorca for the summer series. She had a budding romance with Miles Naziere(which of course Maeva had a lot to say about), but that came to abrupt end. Then she had a growing flirtation with Harvey Armstrong in Bali, but that wasn't to be either. Issy left the show in 2023 and she's been up to all sorts since then – here's everything you need to know about her.
Who is Issy Francis-Baum?
Issy is a model and influencer. She’s worked with several well-known brands, as well as featuring on an ad in Times Square, and in stores across the US. She was scouted by IMM Models, is now signed with Elite Modelling Agency and since then has worked with names such as Urban Outfitters, ASOS, NARS and Tanologist.
Now she lives between Miami and LA with her boyfriend.
How old is Issy Francis-Baum?
Issy is 22 years old. When she joined MIC, she was one of the youngest members of the cast.
Where is Issy Francis-Baum from?
Issy is actually not from Chelsea or even South West London. She describes herself as 'East London born and bred' and is originally from Hackney. As we saw on the show her house is VERY impressive and even has it's own indoor pool. After doing some digging we have discovered her house is actually called the 'East villa' Fancy!
Her house even has its own Instagram account showcasing each room in the luxurious £10 million pound pad. It has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, spread across three floors.
There is a rumour going around on TikTok that Drake - yes, the rapper - once moved in here. Basically, it's a dream house.
Who are Issy Francis-Baum's parents? And who is her incredible dad Marc Francis-Baum?
Issy Francis-Baum's parent's, or rather her dad specifically, made a splash when he first appeared on Made In Chelsea in 2022. Marc met her new beau Miles during the episode, much to the fanfare of viewers.
We've done all the digging and we do know that her dad is the co-founder of Mare Street Market in Hackney, an all-day dining spot with more than 60,000 followers on Instagram that Marc founded with chef Gizzi Erskine. Marc also founded Barworks, an independent pub, bar and restaurant group based in London. An indie restaurant extraordinaire then, definitely our type of man. Issy’s mum Joanna was also listed as a non-executive director of Barworks until August earlier this year, after joining the company as an employee in 2015, but there's little else online about her.
Does Issy’ Francis-Baum's dad make Camden Hells larger?
Viewers were left seriously confused after Harvey started praising Marc for his work with Camden Hells larger on last night’s episode of Made in Chelsea. But it turns out Issy’s dad has been involved with Camden Hells and Camden Town Brewery since it started, alongside the founder Jasper Cuppaidge.
Around 2011, Marc and his business partners from Barworks started looking to make their own beer. 'We had great beer sales and turnover and thought it would be interesting to brew our own,' he told The Caterer. Marc met up with his friend Jasper, who owned the Horshoe pub in Hampstead, and set out plans to have a bespoke brewery shipped over from Munich.
'We went in with Jasper, found the site, and had a bespoke brewery built into the arches under Kentish Town West station,' explained Marc. 'I won’t say that making good-quality beer is easy, but having a group of bars to give the brewery a sales and marketing platform was really important.'
Who is Issy Francis-Baum dating?
Well, according to Instagram, Issy has moved to the US with her boyfriend Logan Rose. He ha a private account so we don't know too much about him, but they seem very cute together and very in love...
Does Issy Francis-Baum have Instagram?
Sorry but Issy’s Instagram is just a straight up vibe. She’s giving Y2k girl with an edgy twist. Looking at any of her pictures you can just tell that she is a fashion student every outfit is 10/10! Follow her Instagram @issy.fbb
Who is the celebrity rapper Issy Francis-Baum used to date?
If Instagram is just not enough she also has an even cooler TikTok account. Her videos have had over 2million likes! One of her most liked TikToks says she used to date someone who’s now a big time rapper.
We did some digging and think her famous ex is rapper Central Cee - when TikTok viewers suggested he might be her ex, she hinted at him, by pinning a comment that says, 'Is he 23 by any chance?'. 23 is the name of Central Cee's second mixtape.
On a picture she posted 23 weeks ago with the caption 'Mrs' (and is now edited), some users also tried to guess who she was dating at the time, with some guessing Central Cee.
