Made in Chelsea is back for its 29th season, with a mix of familiar cast members and fresh faces jetting off to the Maldives. The new season will bring the usual drama, romance, and luxurious settings.
Here’s the Lowdown: Returning cast members include Ruby Adler, Reza-Amiri Garroussi, Olivia Bentley, Maeva D’Ascanio, James Taylor, and Ollie and Gareth Locke-Locke. Other returning favourites include Miles Nazaire, Sophie Hermann, and Tristan Phipps. Joining them are three newcomers: Kabir Khurana, Livvy Barker, and Alice Yaxley.
What This Means Now: Khurana is described as a witty and ambitious “semi-retired party girl.” Barker is Jack Taylor’s new girlfriend and a part-time Pilates instructor. Yaxley is Sam Vanderpump’s new girlfriend and a model. All three newcomers have existing connections to the cast, suggesting immediate integration into the group dynamic – and potential for conflict.
The Bigger Picture: The long-running reality show continues to introduce new personalities while maintaining its core cast. The Maldives setting provides a glamorous backdrop for the unfolding drama. The addition of new cast members with pre-existing relationships within the group sets the stage for rivalries.
