Made In Chelsea will be returning to our screens in March, and it seems the show is getting a huge cast shake-up.

The 31st series of the hit E4 reality TV show will be back on our screens next month. But it appears there will be a few new faces joining the cast list.

However, it seems they are no strangers to a bit of dramatic reality TV..

Made In Chelsea cast shake-up

The two new faces joining the Made In Chelsea cast are 26-year-olds Elys Hutchinson, and Philip Pollard.

If you think you recognise Elys’s name, that’s because you probably do. The star is no stranger to causing a stir on reality TV shows.

In 2023, she appeared on Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle, then going on to take part in Perfect Match, the following year.

Made in Chelsea’s official announcement noted that the trained ski instructor “isn’t afraid to put herself out there when it comes to finding love”.

But she isn’t the only cast addition for the new Made in Chelsea series, as newly single Phillip is also joining the show following an eight-year relationship.

His name is familiar with viewers, as he is the brother of the show’s very own Jules, and seemingly “embraces” his big brother role.

But with the statement indicating he has “no plans to settle down” could drama be on the horizon?

When is the new series coming out?

It appears they aren’t the only fresh faces on the cast this year. The highly awaited return of fan-favourite star Igna Valentiner will also take place.

Speaking about her time away, Igna revealed: “Bali has been paradise. But I have been really missing Chelsea! After some years away from West London, I am ready to reunite with my pals, and meet who else has joined in on the chaos since I was in the city!”

While there currently is no official set-date for the Made in Chelsea return, Channel 4 has confirmed that it will be taking place next month.

It’s safe to say that this season won’t be short on drama, just like all the ones previous. So, along with these new cast members, fans will of course have their usual fan-favourites back on the show again.

Thankfully, we don’t have long to wait. And to kick-start the chaos, fans are being treated to a two-part special, where “romance, tension and shifting alliances play against a stately manor in Perthshire”.
