Made In Chelsea 'to be filmed in Big Brother-style mansion'

The new series of Made In Chelsea will reportedly be filmed in a mansion over the course of a month.

The new series of Made In Chelsea will reportedly be filmed next month in a mansion in Surrey.

The long-running E4 show normally films three series a year, including one series abroad, but those plans have been thrown into disarray this year by the coronavirus pandemic.

The 19th series was cut short at just six episodes earlier this year but producers have come up with a way to get the show back on air by isolating the cast together at a stately home in Surrey.

"They have come up with the great idea to hire a big country house and see what unfolds," a source told The Sun.

"There's just no way they could possibly film fights, rows and romance in ­restaurants and bars right now, so they are planning to get a place in Surrey and film throughout August.

"Bosses are drawing up a list of just who will be going into the house, and they are even debating sticking in a rogue ex here and there to spice things up. It'll be like a posh Big Brother."

The newspaper says that those expected to take part include Jamie Laing, Alex Mytton, Sam Thompson, Sophie ­Habboo and Zara McDermott.

Update, 3.58pm Channel 4 appears to have confirmed the news, with a spokesman stating: "Whilst some of the cast will be reuniting in Chelsea for socially distanced shenanigans, others are swanning off for a summer of luxury in the country.

"The health and safety of cast and crew remains a top priority, and the most up to date government guidelines and advice will be followed at all times.

"Further information on the series and cast will be announced soon."
