Tiffany Watson is the latest former-Made In Chelsea star to make a comeback to the show.
Tiff – who was a regular on the series from 2014–17 – will make her return on next week’s show, with a teaser of her appearance taking place at the end of Monday night’s episode.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about her decision to step back onto the streets of Chelsea, the vegan restaurateur, 26, admitted it was nice to have a break but fun to be involved in the MIC family again.

‘I had a solid two years away from filming the show which actually has gone really quickly,’ Tiff said. ‘But I have always kept in contact with the producers of the show, chatted to them every couple of months.
‘And then I was in a serious relationship. And he was a private person. And when you’re on Made In Chelsea it’s not really fair unless you share your whole life. With that relationship I wasn’t able to share that huge part of my life.’
Tiff famously navigated a romance with remaining cast member Sam Thompson on the show, which ended in tears. She insists that after that, a break from the cameras was needed.
‘I did really enjoy having a break,’ she explained. ‘And I didn’t know if I would ever come back to it. But when I left it was a needed break. I had gone through a break-up and it was very intense.

‘I definitely needed space from that.’
Tiff is single now, however, and is more than happy to make a comeback.
‘I thought about it, I decided to come back and I have really enjoyed it and had so much fun.
‘It was fun to come back single! When I was first on it I was in a serious relationship. I got with Sam, we had a few breaks, but we were together the majority of the time we were filming.’
Sam, however, is not single – and appears alongside girlfriend Zara McDermott on the current 19th season.

Tiff said, when asked if viewers can expect any awkwardness: ‘Since breaking up we might see each other, like we might bump into each other out and about. But when we do it’s always friendly.
‘I much prefer to get on with an ex, I would hate for us to be in a situation where we have to avoid each other.’

‘I still hang out with a lot of the people on the show off-camera anyway,’ Tiff said, explaining that her ties are still strong. ‘Liv [Bentley], Melissa [Tattam], Emily [Blackwell] – I see them all anyway.
‘But I guess now I am one of the older ones. It’s like being the older one at school.’
Tiff’s return comes as Ollie Locke and Binky Felstead make their comebacks – with Tiff admitting that it’s like being part of ‘one big family’.
‘I enjoy it. Why would I not? I still watched it when I wasn’t on it and I think people miss it if they were on it and they stop. You do miss the vibe of being on the show,’ she said.
