New Real Housewives of Cheshire star Katie Alex channeled iconic doll Barbie as she was seen arriving at filming for the 15th series of The Real Housewives Of Cheshire. Katie's arrival on the glam cast of the ITVBe reality show was confirmed as she stepped out with co-stars Hanna Martin, Lauren Simon, Lystra Adams, Nicole Sealey, Rachel Lugo and Seema Malhotra as they headed to Lystra's Boujee restaurant and Carnival Street Food and Bar on Bridge Street.
The ladies looked sensational as they celebrated the 21st birthday of Lystra's model daughter Jasmine. Katie, who was joined by a pal at the party, dazzled in a pink patterned beaded mini dress and matching mule heels as she posed in a giant Barbie doll box at Boujee.
"Thanks to my glam squad for the Barbie vibes last night," she wrote as she shared snaps on her Instagram, and the compliments came pouring in. laurenelizabeth_xx said: "Stunning." And gracebmakeup wrote with love heart eyes emojis: "Oh my you are just insane."

Katie, 32, has signed up as one of the show's youngest stars and has reportedly replaced former guest star Christine McGuinness on the glam line-up. The aesthetic nurse is already familar face on the Cheshire scene as the owner of a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment clinic Katie Alex Aesthetics in Altrincham.
Katie is set to take the show by storm according to the Sun. A show insider told the Sun: "Bosses think she is perfect - she's blonde, fiery and feisty and couldn't care less about what anyone thinks of her. They are hoping she will really sex up the show and bring in more viewers.”
In the last two years original cast members Dawn Ward and Tanya Bardsley have quit. Ester Dee left in 2020 and most recently psychic Debbie Davies left to pursue a TV career in America.
Tanya announced that she was stepping away from the Real Housewives in December after struggling with her medication for ADHD. Tanya, who has three sons Rocco, Renz and Ralphi and a daughter Gabriella, was one of the original stars since it launched in 2015.
She diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that affects people's behaviour, after suffering years of anxiety. While under doctor's orders to rest and avoid stress Tanya missed out on much of the drama, including a girls' trip to Edinburgh, in series 14.
She made the announcement that she was leaving during the reunion episode in a chat with host Brian Dowling. "I'm having to take a step back from the show which I'm gutted about because I absolutely love the show," she told Brian.
Last month Hanna, who gave birth to her second child with anti-ageing doctor Martin Kinsella in May, told fans that she was 'excited' about being back on the show. And she revealed that they had a new Housewife joining the fold.
"We're filming for the new series at moment, which is going to be really good and I'm really excited about it," she said. "We've got a new Housewife who is lovely and, yeah, lots of drama."
