The show premiered on 12 January 2015 and is based on The Real Housewives franchise.[1] It is produced and distributed by NBCUniversal International Networks, and Monkey Kingdom, an NBC Universal owned British production company.

Other housewives include Missé Beqiri (series 3-4), Stacey Forsey (series 3-7), Nermina Pieters-Mekic (series 6-7), Perla Navia (series 8-10), Leilani Dowding (series 10), and Ester Dohnalová (series 5-11).

Overview and casting

Series 1–4

On 22 September 2014 ITV announced the cast for Britain's first housewives instalment The Real Housewives of Cheshire. Starring Ampika Pickston, Dawn Ward, Lauren Simon, Leanne Brown, Magali Gorré and Tanya Bardsley, the series follows the cast's intertwining and fast lives in the rich communities of Cheshire and Greater Manchester.[3] ITV had planned to profile the glamorous denizens of London's Knightsbridge in the series, but ITV bosses said "their homes weren’t quite big enough..", and so Cheshire was chosen.[4] After the success of the first series, with the premiere becoming ITVBe's second highest rating ever programme behind The Only Way is Essex, on 27 April 2015 it was announced that a second series had been commissioned, with filming to begin in May 2015. The second series aired from 7 September 2015 to 9 November 2015, with the cast from the first series returning.[5]

On 1 March 2016, it was announced that Magali Gorré would be departing the series, although a return in future hasn’t been ruled out.[6] On 4 March 2016, ITVBe announced that Ward, Simon, Pickston, Brown and Bardsley would be returning for a third series along with three new wives, Missé Beqiri, Seema Malhotra and Stacey Forsey.[7] The third series premiered on 4 April 2016. On 25 April 2016, it was confirmed by cast member Tanya Bardsley, that the third series would have a reunion show, a first since the show's inception.[8] On 19 May 2016, it was announced that Irish television presenter, Brian Dowling, would be hosting the reunion show.[9] The reunion was filmed at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire in late May. The reunion aired on 13 June 2016, concluding the third series.

On 8 June 2016, a week before the airing of the reunion for the third series, it was announced that the show would be returning for a fourth series. It was also revealed that all the housewives from the third series would be returning.[10] Filming for the fourth series commenced on 1 July 2016. In late August 2016, a small teaser was shown on ITVBe that revealed the fourth series would premiere on 5 September 2016.[11] The fourth series' reunion was filmed at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.

The seventh series concluded with a reunion show which took place at Manchester Hall, the first to be filmed in a new location in the show's history. At the end of the reunion, host Brian Dowling confirmed that the show would return for an eighth series. On 27 July 2018, it was revealed that Stacey Forsey and Nermina Pieters-Mekic will not be returning as main housewives and will be guests.
