Made in Chelsea cast shake-up as massive star ‘quits’ months after longest-serving cast member Ollie Locke’s exit

FANS can expect a massive cast shake-up on Made In Chelsea as the reality show returns for its 27th series.

Last year OG Ollie Locke quit the show with his husband Gareth Locke as they became first-time parents to twins.

Now the show's longest-serving star Olivia Bentley is taking a break from filming.

The Sun can also reveal there will be up to six new cast members joining when the series returns later this year.

An insider told us: "Liv has been at the forefront of all the drama for years - she's been there the longest out of everyone.

"It's been hard-going in recent series with her relationship with Tristan breaking down and she realised she needs to take a step back for her own good.

"She's in a really great place and still loves the show so is taking a step back for now.

"There's some new stars joining the cast who are ready and raring to shake things up a bit."

A Channel 4 spokesman confirmed Olivia's exit, saying: “Liv Bentley has been sharing her life with Made in Chelsea audiences for the past eight years and is now taking a short but well-earned break from the series to focus on her business – JOMO.

"We look forward to welcoming her back to the show later this year.”

Fans can look forward to a spin-off series filmed in Mauritius, which comes out at the beginning of April.

Only a select few stars flew out to the idyllic island for filming, while the majority stayed in Chelsea.

Then Made in Chelsea will return to London with its stellar cast - minus Olivia.

She joined the series as a 'nude' photographer who had a previous fling with Sam Thompson.

She went on to become a main character in the show - with dramatic storylines featuring around her relationships with Tristan Thomas and Digby Edgley.

Olivia grew close to Ollie and Gareth and was last year asked to be their son Apollo's godmother.

She said at the time: “Welcome to the world my beautiful godson Apollo Magnus Obi Locke-Locke and little Cosima, you are just wonderful and I can’t wait to watch you grow up and go on a million adventures with you."

Miles Nazaire will return for the 27th series, but is expected to split time between London and Sydney to appear in an Aussie spin-off of the show - Made In Bondi.

He split from his personal trainer girlfriend Amelie Esquenet in October, before finishing second on ITV1’s Dancing On Ice with pro Vanessa Bauer last week.

Miles found fame as a ladies man on Made In Chelsea.
