Career[]
In April 2011, Vandelli joined the cast of semi-reality television programme Made in Chelsea for the first series. He is the only male cast member to appear in all series of the show to date. On 16 January 2016, it was announced that he would be competing in the third series of The Jump.[2] He withdrew from the show on 9 February due to injury.[3][4][5] In 2017, he appeared in a Made in Chelsea spin-off entitled Mark-Francis' Big Night Out.[6]
Personal life[]
Vandelli was educated at Hill House School, St Paul's School and read for a degree in Art History at University College London. Vandelli is the only son of Marzio Vandelli, an Italian businessman and former tile factory owner, and Diane Casserley Vandelli.[7] While promotional material associated with Vandelli often claims that his mother is a descendant of the aristocratic Russian Orlov-Romanovsky family, she is largely of English descent with some distant Irish ancestry and one Russian great-great-grandmother who emigrated to England in the nineteenth century as an impoverished orphan.[8][9]
