TEEN Mom UK is returning to screens next month for a dramatic tenth series.
The hit MTV series follows former teen mums Sassi Simmonds, Amber Butler, Chloe Patton, and Mia Boardman, who are all now navigating parenthood in their twenties.
News of the latest series was announced on the Teen Mom UKInstagram account, along with the official trailer for the upcoming series of the reality show.
“Teen Mom UK is back! With fresh challenges, big changes and exciting ventures,” the announcement read.
It also confirmed the new series is just days away, adding: “Don’t miss Teen Mom UK, returning 8pm Wednesday 16th October only on MTV UK.”
Meanwhile, the trailer teased a bit more about what viewers can expect to see in series 10.
“Their children are growing up fast … but the mums have had to grow up faster,” the voiceover begins before it cuts to a clip of Chloe, who finds herself asking: “where has eight years gone?”
Chloe, from Nottingham, joined Teen Mom UK at age 17 when she was pregnant with son Marley after a course of antibiotics caused her contraceptive pill to fail.
The trailer also teases that “brand new challenges lie ahead” for the mums.
This includes the fact that Sassi’s baby daddy Darren Quirk is having a child with another woman.
Sassi shares daughter Zena’ya Saint with ex Darren.
The pair were childhood sweethearts, but split after their daughter was born.
They tried to patch things up while on the show, but it looks as though they are co-parenting together now.
This may become a difficult task as Darren becomes a parent again with his new partner.
Alongside Chloe and Sassi, the reality series will showcase highs and lows of motherhood for Mia, who is mum to daughter Marliya, and reality star and influencer Amber who shares two children with on-off partner Steven ‘Ste’ Rankine.
The series will see the women try to balance motherhood with burgeoning career aspirations and societal pressures.
Of course they’ll be plenty of drama, “but wherever life takes them, their children are always by their side.
