Made in Chelsea 2021 cast: returning stars and new faces for season 22 of E4 series - from Ruby to Maeva

If you’ve ever watched an episode of Made In Chelsea - never mind 21 seasons - you’ll know you’re not watching your reality in a series, it’s quite literally ‘how the other half live’.

It’s exactly that format - money, drama and unrelatable issues which usually revolve around relationships or money - that has made the London-based series so entertaining.

Following the awkward end to season 21, fans will be wondering whether Reva and Ruby will return and what their relationship will hold - as well as if Miles will continue to be involved in the drama.

So, here is everyone lined up for the 22nd season of the reality show - and when it’s on TV.

Younger brother of former MIC resident Louise, Sam joined the series in 2013 when the pair shared a flat.

He previously dated Habbs, as well as interning for Jamie Laing and his Kitty candy business, so we can only imagine how he felt when his ex-girlfriend began dating his ex-boss.

Regardless, he’s now doing his own thing as a vlogger and has firmly established himself as a favourite among the cast members.

Vegan Tiff – the younger sister of MIC’s Lucy Watson – joined the cast in 2012 for series 4. Following an on-again, off-again relationship with Sam Thompson, she has more recently been linked with footballer Cameron McGeehan.

Tiffany and Lucy opened their own vegan restaurant called Tell Your Friends in South West London in 2018, but it sadly closed in the spring of 2020.

German-born, Swiss raised Sophie relocated to London where she has established herself as a model and fashion designer.

She has been linked to several of Hollywood’s biggest names, such as Johnny Depp, but more recently made an appearance on Celebs Go Dating, where she asked out DJ Tom Zanetti.

Miles is one of the starring characters of Made In Chelsea since he joined the show in series 18.

He left the show in series 19 following a massive break up with french girlfriend Maeva D’Ascanio, who went on to date his best mate James Taylor.

The half-French half-English socialite is a graduate of the Brit School, though famous Alumni Adele and Jessie J might have been a bit old to rub shoulders with.

French model Maeva doesn’t give much away about herself, except going into details about how her ex-boyfriend fair against one another.

She arrived in London as Miles Miles Nazaire’s girlfriend, but has since gone on to date London resident James Taylor, despite telling Miles she still loves him.

She’s back for the new series, could things get any more tumultuous for the Parisian and her acquaintances Olivia Bentley and Sophie Habboo.

James Taylor

James Russell Taylor has had some of the most memorable relationship moments on the show, from seeing two girls at the same time to being the rebound romance of Maeva.

He has been on Made in Chelsea for three years, where he has become known for his flashy private jet dates, polo matches and tripping up over his own bad behaviour.

He grew up near Saffron Walden with his parents and three siblings – sisters Kate and Libby and brother Jack.

Tristan Phipps

Age: 26

Instagram: @tristan.phipps

Liv’s current beau Tristan is a African former Safari guide, so the London borough of Chelsea isn’t his natural residence.

Despite this, he has hooked up with Liv and the pair have confirmed ahead of this season that their relationship is ‘stronger than ever.’

Paris Smith

Age: 22

Instagram: @p.smith

Paris is relatively new to the MIC cast, but she’s no rookie to the social circle of dinner in expensive restaurants, cocktail parties and polo.

A close friend of Amelia Mist, she is a model and socialite and animal welfare activist. She admitted following being cast in the show that she was scared of being portrayed as ‘the angry black woman,’ but fans have been overwhelmingly positive about her appearance on the show.

Mist is currently a student at Richmond, The American International University in London, while also working as a recruitment agent.

She describes herself as the ‘Bridget Jones’ of MIC, as she is seemingly the long-serving singleton of the relationship-heavy show.

Emily Blackwell

Age: 24

Instagram: @emily.blackwell_

Lingerie company founder Emily is a model and entrepreneur who joined the cast five years ago. She lives the truest influencer life, posting shots of herself in London’s fanciest locations and often seen enjoying herself with Kate Moss’ baby sister, Lottie Moss.

Emily Blackwell’s boyfriend first joined MIC in 2019, but his appearances are less frequent than the other cast due to his work as a chartered accountant and semi-pro rugby player.

He is also an ex of Sophie Habboo, but the two had an explosive argument when he asked her if it was okay for him to date her mate.

Ruby Adler

Ruby has been one half of the biggest storyline of season 20, despite only joining the show a year ago.

She was first introduced on the show as Reza Amiri-Garroussi’s other half. At the end of season 21, the pair broke up with Reza after ten years together, revealing she had cheated on him in the past.

Ruby is also a model for industry lead, Storm model management.
