Made in Chelsea is a British structured-reality TV show that broadcasts on E4. The show follows the lives of people in their early to mid 20s who live in West London. It first aired in 2011. The show has had 10 seasons so far, not including two on location spin-offs entitled Made in Chelsea: New York and Made in Chelsea: LA.

Whilst a few of the original cast remain Made In Chelsea gets rid of and recruits people every season.

The show is accompanied by an online show, Mad on Chelsea, which discusses the current events in the show. The first season of Mad on Chelsea, which went along with Season 6, was hosted by comedian Jenny Beade whereas the second season is hosted by different members of the main cast. Two soundtrack albums have been released featuring music from the show.


Made in Chelsea contains examples of:

  • Brutal Honesty: Lucy claims this is one of the reasons she is a good friend.
  • Contrived Coincidence: Cast members often happen to "bump into each other" - this IS a scripted reality programme, after all.
  • Gilligan Cut: Used often. Most commonly used in this format: Character A "Me and Character B have really been hitting it off recently." Cut to Character B making out with Character C.
  • Love Dodecahedron: It would be easier to state who hasn't dated/slept with/had a crush on who.
  • Love Triangle: Lots.
    • Spencer, Louise, and Andy.
    • Spencer, Louise, and Jamie.
