Made in Chelsea star hints at new girlfriendChannel 4

Made in Chelsea star Sam Vanderpump has seemingly confirmed he’s in a relationship, sharing the news via Instagram.

Sam, whose aunt is reality television star Lisa Vanderpump, joined the E4 reality show earlier this year from its 27th season, with the star regularly getting into arguments with Tristan Phipps along the way.

Posting a photo to Instagram, which showed Sam with his arm around model Alice Yaxley's neck, he wrote: “Hard launch?” accompanied by a rocket emoji.

Sam Prince, his Made in Chelsea co-star, commented on the post by referencing the tattoo on his neck, writing: “Hi mate, is that a neck tattoo?” Ruby Adler also commented, sharing a love heart emoji.

Reza Amiri-Garroussi, who joined the reality series during the 18th season, added: “Oh Golly”, whilst another follower commented: “Obsessed with u two!!”

Whilst Sam joined the show earlier this year, former stars Ollie Locke and Sophie Hermann announced earlier this month that they would be returning to the show, with the latter sharing a statement following the news.

“After years of public demand, I’ve decided to bounce back to the Royal Borough to reunite with my OGs Ollie & Gareth,” she said. “I’m so excited to share everything that’s been happening over the years, such as becoming a godmother to Cosima, new beauty and fashion ventures and reveal all my anti-aging secrets!”

Elsewhere in the show, Nicole Berry – who joined the show in the 22nd season – announced last month that she was expecting her first child, sharing the news with a post on social media.

“Eight whole months of growing you!” she wrote in the caption. “Everyday I think I couldn't possibly love you more and then somehow, by the next day I do. Your dad and I can't wait to meet you baby boy.”
