“I am incredibly proud of ‘Beyond Chelsea’, a project I have been passionately working on for a long time.”
‘After speaking to the girls and my MIC family at Monkey and Channel 4, everyone said yes!’
She concluded, “The show is a reflection of where I am in life right now, while still giving a nod to the original show. It’s so exciting to see it all finally come together.”
She said she couldn’t turn down the chance to film with her best friend Rosie, 34, adding: “I never thought I’d be in front of a camera again,”
“But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to film with my best friend, set some records and open up my life a little more than I have in the past.”
Lucy, 33, agreed with Rosie’s statement, adding: ‘After leaving Made in Chelsea I never thought I would return to reality TV.’
“But after 8 years, it turns out I actually miss it! I’m excited to be a part of a new show, but also nervous to share so much about my life again.”
Meanwhile, Senior Commissioning Editor Clemency Green said: ‘This is an absolute TREAT to order for all Made in Chelsea OG fans.’

“These women should be commended for building such incredible careers since leaving the show. But it’s safe to say that, like all of us, they’ve had their ups and downs and life is never dull.”
‘We can’t wait to take fans on a journey with Binky, Rosie and Lucy, and provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at life after Made in Chelsea.’
Helen Kruger-Bratt, Managing Director of Monkey, said: ‘Fans first fell in love with Binky, Rosie and Lucy when they were part of the iconic cast of Made in Chelsea and their return to the screen will undoubtedly be a delight for loyal viewers.’
“As we open the door to the next chapter in their lives, we look forward to reconnecting with these beloved friends and seeing what new adventures await them.”
