Made in Chelsea's Ollie quits after 12 years to embark on new show with husband
Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke has quit the E4 reality show after 12 years as he and husband Gareth Locke land their own YouTube series.
The couple, who wed on the show in 2020, are currently expecting twins via surrogate and will keep fans updated on their journey to becoming parents with their new YouTube series 'Our Daddy Diaries'.
