First look at new Made in Chelsea cast – confirming one couple has SPLIT as new love interests join show
BUST out the ballgowns and blazers – the poshos from SW3 are back for a new series of Made in Chelsea.
The gentrified gals and guys have returned for a 29th series on E4.
And if the pouts and stony faces are anything to go by, there’s plenty of drama afoot.
The main cast lining up in my exclusive picture include old-timers Ruby Adley, Miles Nazaire, Paris Smith and Reza-Amiri Garroussi.
Familiar faces including Olivia Bentley, Sophie Hermann and Ollie Locke-Locke will be dropping in.
But fans of the long-running show will spot former lovebirds Sam Prince and Yasmine Zweegers look less than cosy in my snap, confirming their split.
There’ll be new faces too, including Sam Vanderpump’s new girlfriend Alice Yaxley, Jack Taylors’s new lass Livvy Barker and Paris’ mate Kabir Khurana.
The series will kick off later this month with the lucky sods sunning themselves in the Maldives before returning to the royal borough.
But it’s not all sunshine, snorkelling and Sea Breezes, as before long closely kept secrets and old grudges collide.
Here, we reveal the new cast members joining the line-up.
Kabir Khurana, 25
Kabir is ambitious, witty and considers himself to be a very loyal friend who prides himself on his agony aunt skills.
Growing up in West London, Kabir went to St Pauls, followed by Latymer Upper and then studied Philosophy at UCL.
As a Business Development and Marketing executive for a truffle oil & premium snacking company, he also has his own events company ‘Hotel49a’ which hosts glamorous queer events around Soho.
Kabir describes himself as a ‘semi-retired party girl’ who still likes to go out but is also very into his spirituality and meditation: “I love astrology, reading tarot, reiki and all that fun stuff. I’m big into crystals and carry them wherever I go.”
Kabir knows Paris, who he met on nights out on the town, and Zeyno, who he met through a mutual friend.
Livvy Barker, 23
Confident and outgoing, Livvy is Jack Taylor’s new girlfriend. After they shared their first kiss in Raffles, they quickly became official late last year.
Livvy grew up in Devon and is very close to her family. She moved to London straight after she graduated last summer.
She currently works in a Pilates studio part time and models on the side, recently appearing in a campaign for Footasylum.
Signed to ‘Muse Agency’, her dream is to model full time.
An avid partier, she loves to dance and, on a night out with her friends, she always leads the charge.
Alice Yaxley, 23
Quick witted, direct and a lot of fun, Alice is Sam Vanderpump’s new girlfriend.
Priding herself on being very straightforward, it’s safe to say she’ll tell you if she’s not happy: “If you say something I don’t agree with, I will definitely call you out on it.”
Alice and Sam 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.
Made in Chelsea returns for its 29th series this March on E4 and will be available to stream on Channel 4.
