When does Made in Chelsea season 12 start, who’s in the cast and is Jamie Laing’s girlfriend really pregnant?
The lowdown on the new series, what to expect, our predictions and the dashing new cast members
Our favourite Sloaney show ponies are back and trotting around SW3, fully clad in tweed and with a miniature puppy in tow.
That’s right the toffs are back and this season is set to be a scorcher.
They are bringing back their signature brand of infidelity, bitchiness and awkward pauses and we are ready to lap up every uncomfortable moment.
The gossip mill is already churning with bust-ups, reconciliations and THAT pregnancy rumour, so it’s set to be a top season.
The cast
The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday that three new upper-class crew members are coming on board.
Meet Akin Solanke-Caulker, school friend of Alex Mytton and the first black man to be cast in the line-up.
26-year-old Akin was a semi-professional rugby player and currently runs his own sports agency, he’s in good shape and we predict that he will turn the eye of a few of the Chelsea ladies.
Also in this season’s line-up is model Emily Blackwell.
The stunning 20-year-old grew up in Surrey and is set to team up with Toff’s squad along with old friend Jess Woodley.
We predict that she will ruffle a few feathers, as she claims she gets on with men better than women and she says she is looking forward to getting some of the dark and handsome Chelsea boys.
Last but not least is half-Swedish Julius Cowdrey , coming from a cracking cricketing pedigree, his grandfather and father captained the England team.
He is, however, more interested in music, the aspiring singer songwriter describes his musical style as “James Bay on a piano”.
Julius is mates with leggy blonde Olivia Bentley and has previously had a smooch with Toff, we predict that he could be the one to turn around the romantic fortunes of the unlucky-in-love socialite.
Alongside the regular faces a few old faces are making a comeback.
After breaking hearts in the South of France Francis Boulle with be joining the cast on the next season, no doubt to continue to pursue his blossoming romance with Olivia Bentley.
We predict that the sassy photographer will have her head turned by one of the new gents, leaving Francis licking his wounds.
Icelandic hottie Fredrik Ferrier is also making a comeback after last appearing in series four.
We got our fingers crossed for more topless up-side-down phone conversations in the park from this one.
And completing the line-up of familiar faces is Oliver Proudlock, the fashion-forward hipster will be bringing back his wise owl advice and hopefully keeping Jamie Laing in line.
The regular cast members include Jamie Laing and his increasingly unpopular partner Frankie who gave us all a scare this week when she took a pregnancy test while filming on Jamie’s YouTube channel.
The test turned out to be negative but there was an awkward moment where we weren’t sure which way it was going to go.
In addition Binky Felstead, Mark-Francis Vandelli, Ollie Locke, JoshPatterson (JP), Alex Mytton, Louise Thompson, Tiff Watson, Rosie Fortescue, Victoria Baker-Harber, Sam Thompson, Stephanie Pratt, Georgia Toffolo (Toff), Jess Woodley and Olivia Bentley will all feature on the show.

The storylines
The end of Made in Chelsea: South of France gave us a sneak peek into the new story lines and just in case you missed it, here’s a quick reminder:
Sam and Tiffany’s relationship hits the rocks
Tiffany feels unappreciated and Sam makes a few comments about long term relationships which add to Tiffany’s suspicions that all is not well.
With the arrival of Julius, could Tiffany jump ship and ditch Sam for good?
Frankie and Jamie’s relationship progresses
No one seems pleased as Frankie and Jamie’s relationship continues to move forwards and they spend more and more time together.
Alex Mytton tries to rebuild his friendship with Frankie but she isn’t as welcoming as he would have hoped.
JP decides he has to be with Binky
JP arranges to meet Binky and announces that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
Binky is torn after having been messed around so much, but she knows that she is also still in love with him.
But protective friend Ollie Locke steps in to try and protect Binky’s heart in what turns into an explosive meeting.
When is it on?
