The couple are expecting twins, a boy, and a girl, via surrogate and have decided to depart the reality show for their online series 'Our Daddy Diaries', which documents their journey to fatherhood.

Alongside a teaser clip, the couple wrote on Instagram: "WE HAVE OUR OWN SHOW!!! We are sooo excited to finally be allowed to tell you that we have our own show following us and our baby twins as we start this huge new adventure becoming dads! We will be followed everywhere and give you an all access pass into our lives becoming parents! Exclusively on YouTube with weekly episodes and with some videos already on the channel. (sic)"

Gareth insists the pair have "outgrown" 'Made in Chelsea' and they wanted "control" over their output and vowed to "share absolutely everything" with their followers.

He told The Sun: "Made in Chelsea is about young people making up and breaking up. We're very much the dads of it all.

"It came the time for something new and for us to have something we have control over. We're part of the production of our new show and we'll get to share absolutely everything with our fans.

"With the kids coming along it's a completely different path we're taking. We've outgrown Chelsea in that respect."

Ollie, 36, added: "Our new show is an unadulterated, no holds barred access into our lives. It's going to be the real us. You'll see a lot more of our personalities than you have in Chelsea - a lot more us, a lot more real.

"It's something completely new and completely different. It's very high-end, unlike any other reality show."

Gareth says they have made their own version of 'The Kardashians'.

He said: "We wanted to share our journey of becoming dads and this is a way we can break the fourth wall.

It's not a static set, so that's the most exciting bit.

"There are bits that we won't know what's going to happen. It's much more like 'The Kardashians'. We'll do their sit-down interviews to the camera to explain stuff, unlike in 'Made in Chelsea'."

The pair still have a good relationship with the E4 programme's producers and haven't ruled out a return to 'Made in Chelsea' in the future.

He added: "The producers have been great with us.

"They've said there will always be a place for us, but we're now just exploring new things. We want to share with our fans a side of us they won't have been able to see on Made in Chelsea."
