To be honest, we haven't felt ourselves since learning that Olivia Bentley was stepping back from her Made in Chelsea duties.

Yes, okay, Channel 4 have tried to compensate us with a flurry of youthful dramatic af cast members – including Lisa Vanderpump's nephew Sam Vanderpump and Love Island 2016's "Made in Chelsea reject" (Kady McDermott's words, not ours) Tina Stinnes – but we just know it's not going to be the same without her.

Who is going to rain down glamour, goss and gall quite like our Liv?

But look, we're heat, and as mourning Made in Chelsea fans (we're assuming you are if you're reading this), we're here for you, and as such, we're thrilled to share that if you're in need of a Liv fix in the coming weeks, we have something special to share.

Just weeks after confirming her side-step from MIC, Olivia has confirmed that she has signed on to co-host a podcast once fronted by one of her very close MIC pals, Jamie Laing.

Yep, Liv is set to become one of the co-hosts of Private Parts – alongside comedian Tom Lucy (who frequently joined Jamie on the pod back in its heyday) – as of Friday 3 May. Which means something we thought we'd lost – weekly Olivia Bentley content – is back back back in our lives, bb.

The announcement grid post revealed, "PSA! @oliviabentleyk is joining @tomjameslucy as the brand new co-host of Private Parts 📣.

"Set your alarms, the first episode is coming Friday 3rd May, wherever you get your podcasts 💛."

Earlier this year (15 weeks ago - not that we've missed it or anything 😭), Jamie announced the end of his popular podcast, Private Parts (fair, as he hosts about a million and one other podcasts, not to mention now works for Radio 1) writing, "For the past seven years, 'Private Parts' has been more than just a podcast; it has been a journey filled with laughter, insights, and unforgettable conversations.

"To our loyal listeners, your support has been the backbone of this adventure. Each episode was a labor of love, fuelled by your engagement and enthusiasm. You welcomed us into your lives, shared your time, and became a part of this incredible community. For that, I am eternally grateful.

"To our distinguished guests, your willingness to share your stories, experiences, and private parts of your lives added depth and authenticity to our show. You brought diverse perspectives, wisdom, and humour, enriching every conversation. Your contributions have been invaluable, and for that, I extend my heartfelt thanks.

"This podcast has been a significant chapter in my life and the things I have learnt have been incredible - Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. Here's to all the private parts we've shared and to the new adventures that lie ahead."

A million and one other podcasts.

Anyway, yay, Liv.
