England’s Daily Mail reported today that yesterday’s plane crash near Tambor Beach involved four crew members of the British reality TV show “Made in Chelsea.”
The crew was on their way to prepare things in advance of filming a special episode in Costa Rica.
As we reported yesterday, it is believed bad weather caused the crash. Costa Rica’s coast guard acted quickly to rescue all five aboard the plane, none of whom were injured.
It is understood two senior producers and two technical directors were on board the small private plane when it lost control, reported The Daily Mail.
The correct information for the rescued English aboard the craft was reported in El Diario Extra. They were Leonie Joss, 35; Kelly Lynn, 39; Daniel Hughes, 30; and Tomas Askew; 24.
“The crash came ahead of filming the one-off episode, and that filming has now been suspended with all cast and crew to return to the UK,” said The Daily Mail.
Some of the show’s stars are believed to be in Costa Rica, but were either flying or flew in separately from the crew.
It is unknown whether or not the incident means the cancellation of the special episode or if filming will be rescheduled.
Made in Chelsea (MIC) is an award-winning, structured-reality television series broadcast by E4 in the United Kingdom. The series chronicles the lives of affluent young people in West London as well as their travels to other locations.
