Model Nicola Hughes is set to become the first Irish star to join the cast of Made In Chelsea.
The Dublin beauty has been dating Made In Chelsea bad boy Alex Mytton for six months and now the blonde is set to star in the reality hit with him.
Nicola is a reality star in her own right, and will hit Irish screens in RTE’s new reality show Exiles: Vancouver.
But the Andrea Roche model is remaining coy on the news that she’s joining the E4 show.

Boyfriend Alex Mytton was happy to reveal he and Nicola are moving in together soon.
“Nicola’s met all my friends and they really love her,” he told the Sunday World.
“Jamie Laing has met her a few times, but he’ll never want me to have a girlfriend because he wants someone to go out with and have fun.”
“She may potentially move, which would streamline things a bit,” he added.
Trip: Nicola and Alex have been in Barbados together
The happy couple have been holidaying in Barbados this week, and Nicola gushed about her reality star boyfriend, saying he’s actually a good guy, despite repeatedly cheating on his MIC co-star Binky Felstead.
“I’m very happy in my relationship with Alex and things are going very well. I’ve been spending a lot of time in London with him and he’s a very caring, kind, nice guy, regardless of what people may think,” she said.
But Alex admitted he was relieved Nicola hadn’t seen his bad boy behaviour in the show.
“It has helped that she hadn’t watched the show before meeting me.”

“Soon after we met, I had to tell her, ‘look, there’s some bad stuffthat circulated about me beforehand and you should probably know about it’.
“She took it well, and said she’d judge me as I am in the present, not the past. She’s also confident in herself to know that I’m not going to do anything untoward.”
“People always think I’m this horrible, cheating bloke that they’ve seen on screen, but when they meet me, they realise I’m not as bad as I’m perceived to be.”
