E4 announces seven new cast members joining Made in Chelsea

For the upcoming series of Made in Chelsea, seven new twenty-something socialites join the famous West London clique. This series is kicking off in Thailand where our newcomers are already delivering on the drama. Viewers can also expect a cameo appearance from reality television royalty, Lisa Vanderpump, later in the series. Joining the cast is:

Chuggs Wallis

Age 27

“People definitely put me in the lad bracket, but when they meet me away from the bar, I’m a very caring, loyal person.”

Best friends with Tristan Phipps and Temps, Chuggs first featured in Made in Chelsea prior to his appearance on Love Island in 2021. He grew up in Surrey with two equally competitive brothers, a passion for rugby, and then studied Business Management at Oxford Brookes University. Chuggs has since gone on to found his clothing brand ‘Booby’. Named after the blue-footed bird from the Galapagos Islands, the business is now his full-time job after a night out with friends who encouraged him to keep making his monogrammed bucket hats.

Rhianna Collins

Age 20

“My friends always joke that every time they’re in Harrods they see me - who can blame a girl for shopping?”

Rhianna is currently dating Freddy Knatchbull, but given his track record she’s told him “If you want to mess around... I can mess you around.” Rhianna starts her day the same way, a hot girl dog walk followed by Pilates. She describes herself as ruthless and carefree, so much so that between the ages of 16-18 her mum hired a full-time bodyguard to accompany Rhianna around London to stop her being such a wild child. Now, she spends most her days shopping in Knightsbridge. Her and her family have lived all over the world but now call Belgravia home.

Olly Claxton-Newman

Age 22

“If I was a car, I’d be a bright red Ferrari. You have to be confident to drive one of those. And a bit of a poser…”

Olly has been a close friend of Freddy Knatchbull’s for years. Originally from The Cotswolds, where he still frequently hosts at his family estate complete with a helipad and pool, Olly has since called The Kings Road his permanent address. Olly loves hitting the gym and has a passion for cars. A serial dater, Olly’s date can expect to drive in style with his impressive car collection. Where else might you find Olly? Between dating, he’s frequently found partying in The Rex Rooms and B Club.

Molly Paradice

Age 24

“I’m a typical Australian girl: Obsessed with sports and nature... but I definitely bring the life and soul to the party.”

Fans of the ‘Made in…’ franchise might recognise Molly from Made in Bondi and remember her previous whirlwind romance with Tristan Phipps. Growing up in New South Wales, on the coast and in the countryside, Molly was always surrounded by nature. Taking creative inspiration from her love of seashell collecting as a child, Molly started her jewellery business ‘Made by Molly.’ She has a very active lifestyle, and her dream day would include an ocean swim. But in absence of the sea in Chelsea, Molly settles for Pilates, a Matcha and a long lunch with the girls.

Maddison Tarrant-Willis

Age 23

“I get bored of jobs really easily… just like boys.”

Best friends and housemates with Jules Pollard, Maddison grew up in the glamourous Sandbanks. Jules and Maddison first met at the age of 10 and have been inseparable since. The cheeky duo spent their teenage years sneaking out to clubs and partying in the bars of St Tropez, arriving home at 6am. Popular with the boys of Chelsea, and several of them have already slid into her DMs, Maddison goes on at least two dates a week. She loves being wined and dined and “getting the princess treatment.” Previously working in real estate, Maddison left to pursue her real passion, Pilates. Maddison joins the clique later in the new series.

Arman Pouladian-Kari

Age 26

“I do like to be the centre of attention. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing…”

By day Arman works for his family business in solar energy. By night he’s a DJ, and when he’s not spinning tracks, he’s partying in Mykonos, St Tropez or London. Having previously dated Yas Zweggers, Arman loves dating and will happily approach any girl he likes. Arman was born in London but raised in Surrey. Now back in London living with fellow newcomer Olly, Arman has a penchant for the finer things, fast cars and skiing. Arman is proud of his Iranian heritage and is fluent in Farsi.

Kit Paterson

Age 25

“I hate how romantic I am!”

Kit’s an old school romantic. A chef and owner of The Candid Club, tickets to the supper club sell out within minutes. Also a model, Kit has been known to come out of the kitchen to feed ice-cream to women who request it. Alongside cooking, he is a content creator as well. Single for over two years, Kit’s just not cut out for the modern dating world – “I tried to date two girls at once, but my guilty conscious stopped me!” At his age, he thinks “25 is the prime age to flirt” and sets his eyes on a fellow cast member in the upcoming series.

Made in Chelsea is commissioned by Clemency Green, Senior Commissioning Editor with Jo Street, Director of Commissioning, Nations & Regions and Head of Lifestyle. The series is produced by UTAS UK Productions, a division of Universal Studio Group.
