Made in Chelsea: Ibiza, a spin-off series of Made in Chelsea, a British structured-reality television programme, was confirmed on 11 April 2017[1] and began airing on 31 July 2017.[2] The series concluded on 4 September 2017 after six episodes. It was announced that the cast of Made in Chelsea would be travelling to Ibiza to film a special series of the show. It was revealed that this would be a stand-alone series which would not be promoted as the fourteenth series. The fourteenth series followed in October 2017. This is the fourth spin-off show filmed away from Chelsea following NYC in 2014, LA in 2015, and South of France in 2016.
The cast for the series was revealed on 19 July 2017,[3] and only features some of the Made in Chelsea cast, with notable absences from Francis Boulle, Fredrik Ferrier, Oliver Proudlock, Rosie Fortescue and Stephanie Pratt.[citation needed] Despite announcing they'd left the show, Alexandra "Binky" Felstead and Josh "JP" Patterson made a brief appearance during the third episode during a video chat with some of the cast. The series focused heavily on the final nail in the coffin for Sam T and Tiff's turbulent relationship following their attempt at taking a break, as well as Jamie and Frankie both realising that they're better off apart. It also included the rivalry between Olivia and Julius escalating, and Sam P betraying Toff one too many times.
