Long before the current cast of Made in Chelsea graced our screens, back when Sam Thompson caused more havoc at boarding school than he currently does on TikTok (and Sam Prince was probably still in nappies), a different bunch of privileged, pretty, young things ruled the streets of SW3.
Made in Chelsea is currently in its 29th series, and the love triangles, awkward silences and dramatic AF dinner parties show absolutely no signs of relenting.
But, seeing as we’ve been feeling quite nostalgic of late and thought we’d take a journey back in time. Back to the days of Caggie Dunlop and Spencer Matthews' rocky romance, when Ollie Locke’s hair was the envy of 15-year-old girls up and down the country and before Miles Nazaire had his wicked way with the entire borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
The golden years, if you will.

15 of 24Francis Boulle then
Francis kept us entertained with his weird and wonderful ways (and hilarious one liners) as a regular cast member for the first six series. He's taken several breaks from the show to concentrate on his various businesses and travelling the world.

After leaving, he regularly popped back to Chelsea with words of wisdom for the cast and hung out with pals Jamie Laing, Oliver Proudlock and Fredrick Ferrier. He's now a comedian and has his own podcast. His Instagram bio reads, 'Mining Entrepreneur & BJJ Purple Belt.' A man of many talents.
17 of 24Gabriella Ellis then
Gabriella had a turbulent (and ultimately ill-fated) relationship with Ollie Locke. She left the show after series four to focus on her music career.
18 of 24Gabriella Ellis now
Gabs has re-branded herself as London Ellis - a singer and blogger living 'The London Life', but based in L.A.
19 of 24Ollie Locke then
Ollie boasted a head of very luscious, long hair when he bounded onto our screens in series one.
20 of 24Ollie Locke now
He's since chopped the locks and ditched the Union Jack prints, and looks more suave than ever. Ollie has two children with husband Gareth Locke and after leaving the show for a few months he returned to the world of MIC.
21 of 24Binky Felstead then
Fun-loving Alexandra Felstead aka Binky was always keen for a party on MIC. But despite providing all the laughs, Binky didn't have much luck with the Chelsea boys. After flings with Spencer and Jamie, her turbulent relationship with Alex Mytton was the centre of a lot of drama in series six and seven.
22 of 24Binky Felstead now
Binky left Made In Chelsea in 2017 after revealing she was expecting a baby girl with co-star and on/off boyfriend Joshua Patterson. They've since split but are co-parenting India. Binky is now married to Max Darnton and they have two children together.
23 of 24Spencer Matthews then
Spencer Matthews quickly built up a bit of a reputation for himself as SW3's IRL Daniel Cleaver. He wined, dined, and then did the dirty on the entire female population of Chelsea in the early series of the show.
24 of 24Spencer Matthews now
Spencer quit MIC in 2016 after a short-lived stint in the I'm A Celeb jungle. He also competed in (and won) Channel 4's adrenaline-filled The Jump. He's seemingly waved goodbye to his womanising ways for good as he's now married to his The Jump co-star Vogue Williams, they are also parents to three children.
