The SW3 elites find themselves basking on the white sand beaches of the Maldives for an extended holiday before returning to the royal borough as the new season kicks off.
However, it’s not all sunshine, snorkeling and sipping Sea Breezes as before long closely kept secrets, simmering crushes and old grudges collide with shocking showdowns.
Ruby Adler, Reza-Amiri- Garroussi, Olivia Bentley, Rebecca Collins (Beks), Maeva D’Ascanio, Angus Findlay, Sophie Hermann, Freddy Knatchbull, Ollie Locke-Locke, Gareth Locke-Locke, Miles Nazaire, Tristan Phipps, Julia Pollard (Jules), Sam Prince, Jasmine Saunders (Jazz), Paris Smith, Lauren Sintes, Zeyno Taylan, Jack Taylor, James Taylor, David Templer (Temps), Sam Vanderpump, Tabitha Willett and Yasmine Zweegers are all returning.
They will be joined by Kabir Khurana who met Paris on a night out on the town and also knows Zeyno through a mutual friend. As a Business Development and Marketing executive for a truffle oil and premium snacking company, he also has an own events company Hotel49a which hosts glamorous queer events around Soho.
Kabir, 25, describes himself as a “semi-retired party girl” who still likes to go out but is also very into his spirituality and meditation. James’ girlfriend Livvy Barker will also make her debut this series after becoming official last last year.
Confident and outgoing Livvy grew up in Devon and is very close to her family. She moved to London straight after she graduated this summer. She currently works in a Pilates studio part time and models on the side.
Livvy is not the only girlfriend joining MIC as Sam Vanderpump’s partner Alice Yakley is also set to ruffle feathers. They pair have been together since her birthday, last July, when they caught each other’s eye.
Very soon after they went on their first date and have been inseparable ever since. A successful model, working with big brands including ASOS, Motel Rocks and Misguided, Alice has also modelled on placements in China and Bali.
She is very well connected, especially in the world of Chelsea. She met Reza years ago and then was reintroduced to him the night she met Sam. She also knows Ruby, Lauren and Tina.
In her spare time, she likes to hang out with her dog, read books, meditate, practice yoga, go to the gym and spend time with her friends. Former couple Sam and Yasmine will also be back with a bang but they time not as a couple.
Viewers watched Sam connect with Yasmine on Made In Chelsea hours after his split from former cast member Inga Valentiner, who was left heartbroken by the betrayal and consequently quit the E4 series.
Sam and Yasmine’s romance quickly became serious with the couple spending most of their time together including filming of the show and running their podcast which has since ended.
Yasmine has been notably missing from the most recent season of Made In Chelsea, currently airing on E4, while Sam has only made a fleeting appearance.
