Ollie Locke has confirmed he's returning to Made in Chelsea, months after slamming reality TV.

In 2013 the star quit the E4 show that made him famous, while promising that he wouldn't be going anywhere and would still be on television, and is now returning to screens after a long absence.

Locke said: "I am delighted to be returning to a show that I am so proud of being involved in from day one.

"I can't wait to be back on the Kings Road adding some more love, laughs and just a bit of the ridiculous!"

When asked if he was happier since stepping away from reality shows, Locke told Mirror TV: "Yes. I'm happier now I've left because I don't have 4m people a week watching me going through breaks-ups."

He added: "I've given up reality. I did four years and it came to a point where I realised it was enough."

There was a hint Locke was returning to the MiC fold - in intimate terms - when last month he was spotted in a very American-style pool with co-star Binky Felstead - NAKED.

The former reality hunk showed off his buff bod as he posed totally nude for a snap.

Locke had been busy enjoying some fun in the sun with his former MIC co-star and long-time BFF Binky and now we know how they chill out.

"Bub @ollielockeworld #pushedin #naked," Binky wrote on Instagram alongside the picture of Locke climbing out of the water.

Thankfully, the side of the pool just about covered his modesty - phew!
