Made In Chelsea is heading Stateside after the show’s bosses decided to make the most of the “Kate Middleton effect” and the subsequent interest in all things British over there.
Jewellery designer Amber Atherton, who features on the show along with her best friend Rosie Fortescue, thinks American viewers will “love” the Mic cast.
