Made In Chelsea Thailand: When Does Series 30 Start And Why Are Some Fan Favourites Missing?
From our social media sleuthing, we can see that a few cast favourites were missing from the trip, and a few exes were looking quite cosy too. Here's what we know so far about series 30 of the hit E4 reality show, from potential start date to storylines and new cast members...
We don't know exactly when series 30 of Made in Chelsea will air, but following past scheduling patterns, it is likely to arrive at the beginning of September. Each series starts with a group holiday to a luxurious location, with past series seeing the cast fly to Mauritius, the Maldives, Australia, Ibiza and Bali, to name a few, and this summer they are all in Thailand.
They will then return to Chelsea for their usual antics and lavish social lives.
Fans can expect to see E4 mainstays like Tristan Phipps, Jules Pollard, David 'Temps' Temple, Jazz Saunders, Freddie Knatchbull and Yasmine Zweegers. It will also see the return of Freddie's ex, Beks Collins, as well as last season newbie Arman PK.
It looks like Sam Prince did not join the cast in Thailand, but he seems to have been filming with Reza Amiri-Garroussi back in London. Ruby Adler was also noticeably absent, instead posting photos of her trip to Greece on Instagram. Likewise newlyweds Sam Vanderpump and Alice Yaxley were nowhere to be seen on the holiday, but it's likely they will still be part of the show from home.
Of course, it wouldn't be a new season of Made in Chelsea without a few new faces. Most notably, former Love Island star Chuggs has made a bold return to the show, after briefly dipping in and out a few times over the years. He's been hanging out in Thailand with Jules and Tristan, so we are likely to see him join the fold for the rest of series 30 too.
Joining Yasmine and Beks' squad is 24-year-old Molly Paradice, who runs her own jewellery line and has joined the cast of the E4 show. They are also good friends with Olly Claxton Newman, who is also new to the show and joining the cast on their Thai getaway.
As for plot predictions, by the looks of Yasmine's rekindled friendships with Temps, and Jules and Tristan, it looks as though her will-they-won't-they with Sam Prince might be over.
Best friends Jazz and Jules are still very much joined at the hip, and Jazz has been sure to shout out her girlfriend Demi Simms from the beach in Thailand, honouring her with a post to celebrate London Pride by wearing a t-shirt that says 'I love my hot girlfriend'.
It's unclear whether there is anything romantic going on between Beks and Freddie again, but at least Tristan and Jules are still going strong too.

TV tonight: who was the real Jayne Mansfield? Her daughter tells all
9pm, Sky Documentaries A touching, beautiful film that takes us back to Hollywood's golden age. TV actor Mariska Hargitay was only three years old when her 34-year-old mother Jayne Mansfield died. Deprived of any memories, she goes in search of the real Jayne – away from the sex symbol – via inherited belongings, home movies and never-before-seen photos, visiting the now demolished 'pink palace' and speaking with her siblings properly for the first time. Hollie Richardson 6pm, BBC Two The 1985 Live Aid concert was a whopping 16 hours long, but the anniversary package is a mere seven. The early acts underline how many mainstream white artists played, with Status Quo, Led Zeppelin and Phil Collins all turning out. The less often-seen backstage footage should be richer. Jack Seale 9pm, ITV2 There's much buzz around Love Island this summer. Sadly, it's centred entirely on the ratings hit that is the seventh US season, while the 12th series of its UK sibling trundles along with little fanfare, despite being hosted by Maya Jama. Still, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday night, aren't there? Right?! Hannah J Davies 9.40pm, BBC One Lee Mack's popular sitcom reaches its penultimate chapter, with the final ever episode airing next week. As they continue to muddle through post-kids life, Lee (Mack) and Lucy (Sally Bretton) become extras playing elves in TV series Dragon Castle. Cue the usual high-jinks. HR 10.40pm, ITV1 Differences between the UK and US legal systems are highlighted, as agents Anderson (Noah Emmerich) and Okoye (Angel Coulby) investigate the disappearance of the Oxford-student son of a high profile American (Uma Thurman). Namely, it's a pacing issue: 'I've been here for three days,' says Anderson. 'All I've seen you do is release people.' Ellen E Jones 11.45pm, ITV1 In this inspiring and sweet documentary, the nicest guy in football, Ian Wright, helps to launch the first ever girls' under-14 team at his Lewisham childhood club that he owes his career to. It's not just about finding 'the next big thing,' he says – it's simply to give girls the opportunity to play. HR Oppenheimer, out now, Netflix After its extraordinary theatrical run and silverware haul, it's safe to assume that everyone who wants to watch Oppenheimer has already watched it. But even after all the ballyhoo about seeing it on the big screen, Christopher Nolan's film loses very little impact on TV. It's still a total marvel, turning a bog-standard biopic into a puzzlebox of clashing timelines. It's still masterly to look at, transforming the planes of Cillian Murphy's face into grand topography. Best of all, we get to see what Robert Downey Jr looks like when he really puts his all into acting. A must watch. Stuart Heritage A Man Called Otto, 9pm, Channel 4 His days as the do-no-wrong king of Hollywood behind him, Tom Hanks has long since settled into a much more rewarding second act. He writes books. He's become a Wes Anderson day-player. And, more importantly, he gets to star in films like A Man Called Otto. Hanks plays a bitter old crank who plans to kill himself, only to be shaken out of his stupor when he begins to integrate with his neighbours. It's a hard role to pull off – lean too hard one way and you become repellant, lean too hard the other and you become unpleasantly sentimental – but Hanks gets it exactly right. SH Cycling:Tour de France, noon, TNT Sport 1 The eighth stage of the men's race. The ninth stage starts on Sunday from noon, with coverage continuing throughout the week.

Jake Paul loses $1million bet with Mike Tyson on Katie Taylor fight
Katie Taylor beat Amanda Serrano for the third time in a row as she won their trilogy fight in New York, but the bout failed to live up to expectations Jake Paul lost his $1million bet with Mike Tyson as Katie Taylor retained her undisputed super-lightweight world title with a third victory over Amanda Serrano in New York. After three years since their first bruising battle in the Big Apple, which saw Taylor clinch a split-decision win, and another victory in Texas last year, the third bout fell short of expectations, swapping out drama for strategy. However, Taylor deservedly emerged victorious again, with one judge scoring it a draw and two judges favouring her 97-93. And the result means Paul, who promotes Serrano, will have to stump up to Tyson who had backed Taylor to win. The former opponents, who met in a controversial fight last year, agreed a pre-fight bet on social media. In a video uploaded to Instagram, Paul confirmed that he and Tyson have a bet for the main event. "Mike! Wassup?" Said Paul. "Man, a lot of people are saying that Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor's fight was better than ours." Tyson quickly replied "Oh yeah?" Paul quickly cut in and replied: "They're fighting again this weekend!" Without hesitation, Tyson stated: "I have got Katie (Taylor)." Unsurprisingly, the 'Problem Child' is backing MVP star Serrano. "Do you wanna bet?" Replied Paul. After a brief pause, Tyson chuckled and agreed to the wager. "All right. If Katie wins then you get $1m, but if Amanda wins, then I get $1m." Tyson agreed: "I like that!" And almost immediately after the final bell, Tyson took to social media to call on Paul to pay up. "Congrats to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on the trilogy fight on Netflix," he wrote. " Jake Paul, see you at dinner to collect my million!" Ultimately, Friday night's third meeting had muted beginnings compared to the grand finale of their previous encounter. It wasn't until the second round that Serrano ramped up the attack, though Taylor responded swiftly with her counters. The third round saw a surge of excitement as both fighters briefly abandoned caution. Taylor then dominated the fourth, timing her assaults with increasing accuracy and maintaining the upper hand through the fifth round, despite the fight not quite reaching the explosive heights many had hoped for. Serrano ramped up the pressure as the second half of the fight began, cornering Taylor and landing a solid right hand as the bell rang. However, Taylor retaliated in the seventh round, with one combination often being enough to win the round due to the lack of action. By the eighth round, Taylor had a bruise under her right eye and was instructed by her corner to increase her efforts in the final four minutes. Despite this, she timed Serrano perfectly, causing the Puerto Rican to miss before it was Taylor who ended the fight stronger, leaving the decision once again to the judges. In other fights, Savannah Marshall suffered an unexpected loss to Shadasia Green in their super-middleweight unification bout. Despite Green losing a point for holding, she was declared the winner on two out of three judges' scorecards, marking only the second defeat in Marshall's career. Meanwhile, Ellie Scotney defeated Yamileth Mercado to retain her super-bantamweight world titles, while Alicia Baumgardner did the same against Jennifer Miranda in the main support fight. Cherneka Johnson, Chantelle Cameron, Ramla Ali and Tamm Thibeault also celebrated victories.

Pep Guardiola's daughter shares wholesome moment with dad at Oasis gig
The Manchester City boss was in the crowd at Heaton Park on Friday night as Oasis played their first homecoming gig in the city since 2005 and his daughter captured a very special moment on video Pep Guardiola enjoyed a special father-daughter moment with Maria at Oasis ' first homecoming gig in Heaton Park. Oasis kicked off the first of their Heaton Park comeback shows last night. The five nights are the Gallagher brothers first time playing in their hometown since 2009. The band wowed fans with a nostalgic setlist of their greatest hits, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the night sky. Among the crowd was Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and his daughter who shared a video on Instagram showing the pair singing along to 'Don't Look Back in Anger' together. The Manchester City manager received several shoutouts during the night, including one from Liam Gallagher, who said: "I'd like to dedicate this to the greatest f***** manager of all time". Pep also took a photo with Noel's and Liam's children, shared on Gene's Instagram page. Wearing a retro Manchester City kit and casual denim shorts, Pep looked like a typical concert-going dad as he raised his drink for the photo, reports the Manchester Evening News. Before the show, a message on the huge screens read: 'This is not a drill', followed by a montage of Oasis reunion rumours, newspaper headlines, and finally, the confirmation from last August. As the crowd erupted into cheers, a voice announced: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over." The adoring crowd let out a deafening roar as Manchester's favourite sons took the stage, arms raised and hands clasped together. "Manchester this is it, Manchester in the area," Liam Gallagher roared as he and his brother Noel led a triumphant Oasis reunion gig. Before their electrifying comeback at Cardiff earlier in July 2025, the last time Oasis had performed together was back at V Festival in August 2009, ending on a high note with 'I Am The Walrus'. Formed in the heart of Manchester in 1991, Oasis quickly became synonymous with the Britpop movement, achieving global fame and influencing countless artists with their seven chart-topping albums over two decades. The Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, have always been at the centre of the band's success and controversies, known for their captivating performances and songwriting prowess, as well as their notorious sibling rivalry that has provided endless headlines. Following Oasis's split in 2009, the Gallaghers went their separate ways, fronting their own bands, Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, respectively.
