The new cast member from SW3 is currently in a relationship with The Only Way Is Essex star Demi Sims, which might be shown in future episodes.

But what stood out was how confident she felt sharing this on camera—something her co-star Julia ‘Jules’ Pollard praised in an exclusive chat.
Advertisement That was amazing. I was so happy for her. When we were filming that scene, that was the most empowering scene I filmed. It felt very real. It was so real, so raw, and I’m just so happy for her that Chelsea even gave her that safe space to talk about it. It was amazing.
Jules began
I wasn’t really going to share on social media. I was kind of waiting for this episode to come out, but then people put the pieces together. When the press released those pictures of Demi and I at the premiere, I hadn’t told my family we were seeing each other. None of my friends knew, Julia knew because I tell her everything, but it forced me to be like, ‘Well, it’s everywhere now, so this is it.’
Until that moment in episode 2, not all of Jazz’s friends and family were aware of her sexuality, with Jazz telling Grazia
At the start of season 29, Jules stood up for Jazz when she ran into her ex, Jack Taylor, who had admitted his feelings for her at the end of season 28—even though he had secretly been involved with Livvy Barker.

This caused a confrontation between all four of them during their trip to the Maldives. Although things have been resolved since, it really shows how loyal Jules is when it comes to protecting her friends.
I feel like you guys haven’t seen that kind of sassy side to me. When people say stuff about me, I’m not as bothered, but when someone says something about my relationship or someone I’m so close to, that’s when I will go to war for you. I will just have to tell them what’s up because it just breaks my heart to see people saying stuff about the people I love.
Jules explained
While Made in Chelsea is famous for its dramatic moments, the cast often forget they’re being filmed, which is why things can get intense and feel “so raw,” according to Tristan Phipps.
You really do forget the cameras are there because you’re having a conversation that needs to happen, or you’re just feeling really strongly about something. There are definitely times when you totally zone out and forget there might be 30 people in the room. And it does feel intimate when you’re in those moments, because it is our real lives and it is our real feelings and it is real anger.
