The third series of The Valleys, a British television programme based in Cardiff, Wales was confirmed in July 2013 after cast member Leeroy announced it on Twitter. It is expected to air on 25 February 2014 on MTV. This will be the first series not to include cast members Leeroy Reed and Liam Powell, who made their final appearances during Series 2. On 14 January, the new cast member was confirmed as Jack Watkins, a 24-year-old stripper. It was also announced that The Valleys club branded nights "Valleywood Nights" would be going on tour to various locations around the UK and Ireland including Liverpool, Bristol and Dublin. Despite originally being dropped from the show, Nicole announced she'd be returning for the third series.
Storylines Anthony, Carley, Chidgey, Jason, Jenna and Natalee return to the house and are then joined by Lateysha who makes a grand entrance on a horse. During their first night out in Cardiff, Carley takes a shine to the new butler, Jack leaving Chidgey jealous. The next morning the group are asked to return to the Valleys to meet AK and Jordan for work. As the group all return from work they're shocked to be greeted by Jack, who announces that he's their new housemate. Carley, Jenna and Lateysha all compete for Jack's attention causing Chidgey to get angry. Jason accidentally tells Natalee that Anthony cheated on her in Australia leaving her upset and doubting the relationship. Chidgey is far from impressed after finding out that everyone will learn how to strip for Valleywood nights, and is even less impressed to be taught by Jack. Following another night where the girls compete for Jack's attention, it's Jenna that catches his eye, but she reveals she doesn't want to be second best to anyone so rejects him. Nicole returns to the house, but is left disappointed when no one answers the door.
