The last we heard, the new series of Made in Chelsea was set to return this September but with just one week left of the month we fear that Jazz Saunders may have been having us on.

The tennis girlie told her fans that series 28 of MIC would be back in the autumn, but we've barely had any deets on the upcoming series - all we know is that Love Island bombshell Casey O'Gorman has managed to worm his way into the world of SW3.

As we wait, rather impatiently, even for just a lil sneak peek of the upcoming season, we've been keeping up to date with poshest babes on reality TV via their social media accounts like every good journalist does, obv.

It was our daily stalking on Instagram that meant we discovered not only does one of the King's Road chaps have a new girlfriend, but he also has a new tattoo - and who else remembers when Sam Thompson had a 'T' inked onto his arm as an ode to Tiff Watson? What a time to be a Made in Chelsea fan, that was.

The fella in question is newbie Sam Vanderpump, who previously shared a kiss with Julia 'Muffin' Pollard, and is CONSTANTLY falling out with Tristan Phipps.

Sam posted a pic on his Instagram of him and a gorge brunette who goes by the name of Alice Yaxley with the caption, 'Hard launch? 🚀', so yeah, we're PRETTY sure they are an item.

However, it wasn't the fact she looks strikingly similar to his cast mate Lauren Sintès, it was the brand new tattoo on his neck that has everyone talking.

Resident Made in Chelsea wind up merchant Sam Prince couldn't help but comment, 'Hi mate, is that a neck tattoo?' with someone else adding, 'She tattoo your name on her neck?'

Will we be seeing the face of Sam's model girlfriend on the new series? Will we have to update the 'Who's on Made in Chelsea?' cast article again? Is that really Alice's name tattooed on Sam's neck?

Apparently, we will find out within the next week.

Right, Channel 4 bosses? RIGHT?
