The long-running reality series Made in Chelsea is back with its special Mallorca series this summer and there is lots of drama in store.

While Julius Cowdrey will find his past catching up with him, friends Miles Nazaire and Emily Blackwell grow ever closer, and Maeva D’Ascanio and James Taylor have some big announcements.

We can always rely on Ollie Locke-Locke to return to Made in Chelsea and while Jamie Laing is no longer on the show, he told RadioTimes.com back in July 2021 that he’ll “see what happens” when it comes to appearing on MiC in the future.

Read on for everything you need to know about the Made in Chelsea: Mallorca cast.

Digby Edgley has been a stable cast member after returning to Made in Chelsea despite having left the E4 show in 2019 after breaking up with Olivia Bentley.

The model joined Made in Chelsea back in 2017, with their on-again-off-again relationship playing out on the show, however, they decided to end their romance during Made in Chelsea: Croatia.

Since joining the reality series in 2011, Southampton-born Oliver has written a book about his experiences (Laid In Chelsea), competed in the 2014 series of Celebrity Big Brother, and acted in his first Hollywood movie – the Michael Winterbottom-directed Greed, starring Steve Coogan.

In the finale of the season 20, he married husband Gareth Locke in a ceremony at the Natural History Museum. The pair have been striving to have a child together in recent episodes.

Photographer Olivia is one of the more outspoken members of the MIC cast, and has romanced (and fallen out with) fellow Chelsea residents Fredrik Ferrer and Francis Boulle over the years.

Pre-pandemic, she was linked to TOWIE’s Demi Sims, but since the end of 2020 she has been in an on-off romance with fellow Made In Chelsea star Tristan Phipps.

Gareth Locke and Ollie Locke managed to plan their wedding at the Natural History Museum last November in just two days, so they could squeeze it in before the national lockdown.

A commercial director at luxury clothing brand Holland Cooper, Gareth became engaged to Ollie in 2018. The pair recently announced they are planning to start a family with the help of a surrogate.

Maeva D’Ascanio

Miles Nazaire’s ex-girlfriend Maeva arrived in London – and onto our TV screens – for the 17th series of MiC. She’s certainly had a tempestuous time of it since then, having fiery fallout with everyone from Olivia Bentley to Sophie Habboo in recent seasons.

Born in Paris, Maeva now lives in London and is an ambassador for luxury jewellery brand King Jewels London.

Last season, Maeva was insistent that boyfriend James Taylor propose to her but when she ended up popping the question, she was rejected. The pair ended up reconciling and have since announced their engagement and that Maeva is pregnant.

Currently, in an on-off relationship with fellow MIC star Liv Bentley, Tristan describes himself as a bit of a thrill seeker, having done a bungee jump, worked as a safari guide in South Africa’s Kruger National Park and hiked to 4000 metres to see a volcano erupt.

His Instagram bio reads ‘Nature lover, Adventurer, Fitness, Ex-safari guide. Made in Africa’.

James Russell Taylor is the MIC member who tries to impress the girls with mentions of his private jet and the spa in his house.

He joined the series in 2018, with his first appearance memorably being him trying to teach his friend Sam Prince how to play polo.

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

Last season, James became engaged to his girlfriend Maeva and the pair are expecting a child together.

Harvey joined Made in Chelsea in 2019 and made an impression from the start. An ex of Sophie Habboo, he was in Argentina when Made in Chelsea was filming in Buenos Aires, and his appearance caused some drama on screen.

A chartered accountant, Harvey also runs The Innovative Brewing Co and pays rugby for Gibraltar.

Harvey went on to have a long-term romance with Emily but his behaviour prompted her to dump him.

Like Miles Nazaire, Julius returned to Made in Chelsea in series 21 – he previously left in 2017 to pursue a music career and appeared on The Voice in 2020 performing an original song called Take Me Home (unfortunately none of the coaches turned their chairs for him).

The grandson of cricket legend Lord Colin Cowdrey, half-Swedish Julian is actually a twin – his brother Fabian followed in the family cricketing tradition, playing for Kent County for five years.

Julius is now pursuing a career in life coaching but is finding that his romantic past is catching up with him on Made in Chelsea.
