Last season of Made in Chelsea introduced us to a cast member who had a connection to the actual King of England and as cool as that is, it's not all THAT surprising when it comes to MIC, is it?

There is no denying we love Freddy Knatchbull, who is the great grandson of a Lord, but we have to admit we're probably a bit more excited about the latest newbie who is related to reality TV royalty, because, here at heat HQ reality TV is basically our religion.

Who is this new regal Chelsea cast member, we hear you ask? None other than Sam 'Vanders' Vanderpump and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out who he is related to.

Sam, known to his pals as 'Vanders,' - because this is Made in Chelsea and they can't just call each other by their birth names - is the nephew of the always iconic Lisa Vanderpump.

THE LISA VANDEPUMP, as in the queen of Vanderpump Rules, the icon of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and overall reality TV legend.

Not only that but apparently Vanders and Auntie Lisa Vanderpump are proper bosom buddies, in fact, "Sam cherishes his special relationship with Lisa, they are super close and always have been."

With this in mind, we one hundred percent believe it when they say Sam "has no filter" and "likes to deal with confrontation head on" – did we mention he's related to Lisa Vanderpump?

Bring on 15 April and bring on the drama, please.
