NEW FACES BRING NEW DRAMA

E4’S HIT REALITY SHOW RETURNS FOR 17TH SEASON SOON

London, 5th March 2019:  The dust may have only just settled on last season’s scandals, but there’s a new Chelsea set in town and they are ready to shake things up! A new promo released today, reveals a number of brand new faces joining our Made in Chelsea favourites for the 17th series of the BAFTA-award winning show. Hitting screens soon on E4, fans can look forward to scandalous secrets, make-ups and break ups, a fiery Parisian, more than one unexpected ex and lots of gossiping… all whilst touring SW3’s most glamorous locations.

Heading into new beginnings, can the MIC cast let go of the past? Will old flames rekindle their romance? Will new friendships be formed, or will new battles begin? Can they really forgive and forget? This series will have it all whilst they sip champagne and stroll the boulevards of the world famous Royal Borough.

Returning for more mischief in series 17 will be MIC favourites Jamie Laing, Louise Thompson and her fiancé Ryan Libbey, Olivia Bentley, Alex Mytton, Miles Nazaire, James Taylor, Sophie ‘Habbs’ Habboo, Sophie Hermann, Harry Barron and Melissa Tattam, Oliver Proudlock, Fredrick Ferrier, Eliza Batten, Mark Francis Vandelli and Victoria Baker-Harber.

Joining the cast will be Amelia Mist, the self-proclaimed ‘Bridget Jones of Chelsea’; the dashing Angus Findlay, known for his killer cheekbones; Chelsea born and bred Freddie Brown; socialite and events planner Rosi Mai; ‘sultry scientist’ Verity Scarlett Bowditch and finally Miles’ Parisian ex-girlfriend, Maeva D'Ascanio. 

The series is produced by Monkey and commissioned by Controller of E4, Karl Warner and Commissioning Editor Sarah Dillistone. The series is executive produced by Monkey’s Kelly Lynn and David Granger.

“We’re really excited to welcome some fantastic new people to the show, bringing a tidal wave of drama!” commented Sarah Dillistone, Channel 4 Commissioning Editor. “As the existing Made in Chelsea gang welcome new – and old – friends, there will inevitably be tears and tribulations aplenty.”

Kelly Lynn, Executive Producer at Monkey added “There’s never a dull moment in Made in Chelsea and this series promises to be exciting and eventful as we see our Chelsea favourites joined by a set of dynamic newcomers, each ready to shake up life on the Kings Road.”
