And after months of rumours doing the rounds, Ollie Locke has finally confirmed he has quit the E4 reality show after five explosive seasons.
The 28-year-old star has been part of the series since its inception and in the past two years has been through three break-ups - with co-stars Gabriella Ellis, Chloe Green and Ashley James - as well as coming out as bisexual.
Goodbye, Chelsea: Ollie Locke confirmed he had
quit Made In Chelsea as he attended the UK premiere of We're The Millers
at London's Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday night
Speaking to reporters at the UK premiere of We're The Millers at London's Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday evening, he said: 'I've quit the show. I have done five seasons, I've had three breakups, I've come out as bisexual... I've done all that and I've decided the party's over for me.
'But I'll never close the door fully. There are lots of other projects in mind and people are talking. It's terrifying to be leaving the show as it's all I known on TV.

Ollie follows in the footsteps of fellow original cast member, Millie Mackintosh, who also quit the E4 series at the end of the fifth season as she prepares to tie the knot with rapper fiance, Professor Green.
The 29-year-old musician spilled the beans on Millie's decision in June, explaining: 'She's just had enough of it ... I'm happy with her to do anything that makes her happy, and it really wasn't making her happy.'
