Since joining Made in Chelsea in 2021, Inga Valentiner has been caught up in some serious dramz during her run on the show.
She was introduced as a friend of Tiffany Watson's and had history with both Miles Nazaire and Julius Cowdrey.
In her first series, Inga had a strong friendship with Liv Bentley, but that spectacularly crumbled before our eyes as they came to blows over Liv's friendship with Verity Bowditch.
She's had a rather tumultuous relationship with Sam Prince and after the chaos of Made in Chelsea: Corsica we were all pretty sure it was end game but then Sam went and liked one of Inga's Instagram Stories, leaving us all pretty confused.
Although probably not as confused as his new girlfriend and Inga's ex bestie, Yasmine Zweegers.
Despite this drama, you may still find yourself asking, "Who is Inga Valentiner and why isn't she on Made in Chelsea?". Well, look no further.
Who is Inga Valentiner?
She was introduced to the Made in Chelsea casr having just returned from Bali as a friend of Tiffany's.
Before moving back to the UK in early 2021, Inga lived in Bali for four years where she met Julius and spent a romantic night on the beach with him.
Before MIC, Inga was an artist who mainly worked on canvas but also has designed artwork for surfboards and tattoos. You can follow her art Instagram here: @i.valentiner.art.
How old is Inga Valentiner?
Inga is 32 years old.
When did Inga Valentiner join Made in Chelsea?
The MIC star made her first appearance in early 2021, joining the show in series 21.
Who has Inga Valentiner dated?
Inga had history with Miles and Julius before joining the show, meeting both whilst she was living in Bali. This made for an awkward encounter when Inga was introduced to the series, as both Miles and Julius were single and evidently ready to mingle based on their reactions when they saw her.
Inga met Julius first, on a beach in Bali where they shared a romantic evening and kiss. In the episode Inga described the night as being "very sweaty and very messy".
She later met Miles online, as they both followed each other. They were messaging before she returned to the UK and things soon turned flirty. Miles even messaged Inga the moment she left the airport. They later went on to spend a night together in the mansion in the Cotswolds.
She soon forgot about the boys and moved on with Sam.
What happened with Inga Valentiner and Sam Prince?
In 2022, Inga dated Sam and they even lived together before ending things during the summer. They rekindled things and moved back in together, only to break up again during the Corsica series.
In one of the biggest scandal of Made in Chelsea, Sam moved on a mere two days later with Inga's friend Yasmine. Sam then hinted that there was always "something there" with Yasmine, implying that it wasn't just a summer fling. The pair were sleeping in the same villa and had kissed on-camera before being forced to come clean in front of the entire cast in a tense dinner party scene.
Inga told Grazia, "When I heard about Sam and Yas, it honestly felt like I was stuck in a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from.
"It’s hard enough having to deal with a breakup, but then to hear the person you were sharing your life with has had an emotional affair with someone you considered a friend… it’s probably the most hurtful thing I’ve ever gone through."
Although Sam then asked Yas to be his official girlfriend, it turns out he had also been giving his ex a cheeky social media stalk and liking her posts from back in the day, and naturally that caused even more chaos and confusion. Honestly, only Sam Prince.
Despite the ups and downs, in the latest season Sam and Yas seem to still be going strong.
Are Inga Valentiner and Yasmine Zweegers still friends?
Since the explosive Corsica series, Yasmine and Inga have understandably kept some distance. They have not appeared in each other’s Instagram stories and the once close friendship has cooled considerably.
Inga said, "It’s complicated as we are all the same friendship group and we all film with each other so I’m still trying to navigate through a very bizarre situation.
"Everyone makes mistakes but then life moves on and we just need to make the best out of a bad situation."
Has Inga Valentiner quit Made in Chelsea?
She told Grazia, "It’s not like I’m never going back... But just after Corsica being around Sam and in that environment wasn’t right for me and it wasn’t the best way for me to get over the breakup and heal."
Although she didn't appear in Sydney or the latest series in Mauritius, Inga's MIC days are not officially over, and we're still hoping she'll reappear in the next series.
Are Inga Valentiner and Issy Francis-Baum still friends?
After having a closer friendship, Inga and Issy Francis-Baum have stopped posting each other on their stories, sparking rumours of a fallout. Although neither of them have publicly confirmed a friendship breakup, unfollowing each other on social media is the influencer equivalent of uninviting someone to your birthday party. Scathing.
Does Inga Valentiner have Instagram?
Inga does have Instagram. You can follow her at @i.valentiner.
