The Real Housewives of Cheshire are back with a new castmate.
Dawn Ward, Ester Dohnalova, Hanna Kinsella, Lauren Simon, Nicole Sealey, Rachel Lugo, Seema Malhotra and Tanya Bardsley will all return for the 12th series next month, and they will be joined by new Housewife Lystra Adams who has worked as a professional Naomi Campbell lookalike.
Born in Guyana, in South America, Lystra moved to the UK in 1997 at the age of 20 following a holiday romance.
She previously told how she was teased over her looks and height at school but she went on to land a job as a Naomi lookalike.
She was signed up by a Birmingham modelling agency to turn up at functions and events as the top supermodel.
At one event hired bodyguards took their roles so seriously they followed her into the toilets.
The model, property investor and entrepreneur has been a regular in the Cheshire social scene for years and is already friends with a number of the Housewives.
Lystra, mother to daughter Jasmine who is also a model, is an investor in the recently launched 202 Kitchen in Manchester.
She said about her new role on the hit ITVBe reality show: “Joining The Real Housewives of Cheshire is a dream come true.
"Being able to join my friends on screen to share the laughter and witness the drama first hand has been eye opening but I’m not shy, I’m ready for anything!”
Following Lystra’s arrival, viewers are told they can expect 'plenty of laughter, copious amounts of glamour and more gossip than you can handle!'
Sharing a cast photo on her Instagram she told her followers: "So excited to be joining these girls on the next season of The Real Housewives of Cheshire on ITVbe.
"Looking forward to this new season."
"Fab, love a new arrival," cheered one fan of the show.
"Yay! Can't wait," said another.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire returns to ITVBe on Monday October 12 at 9pm
