EXCLUSIVE Made In Chelsea series 21 FIRST LOOK

Made In Chelsea returns to screens next Monday with the launch of its 21st series. 

And, nearly 10 years years after it first hit screens in May 2011, stalwart Ollie Locke kicks things off  as he toasts four months of marriage with his new husband Gareth.

The 20th season concluded in December with the pair getting wed at the Natural History Museum, having delayed their nuptials repeatedly due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Escape to the country: Made In Chelsea returns to screens next Monday with the launch of its 21st series

With lockdown still in full swing in the UK, the 21st series has had to be filmed on location in the countryside, with the cast forming their own exclusive bubble at a manor house in the Cotswolds.

Taking well to country life is Sophie Hermann, who is seen shooting clay pigeons in the smouldering, sultry way only she can.

Miles Nazaire – who sat out the 20th series of the show – is back, shirt off, running through the grounds of the mansion, leaping over logs.

Last series’ newcomer Paris Smith is also out in the wilds of the grounds, horse riding in a fur.
