The Real Housewives of Cheshire is back - and its stars are already at each other’s throats (what did we expect?).
Right from the start Dawn Ward, Rachel Lugo, Perla Navia, Tanya Bardsley, Hanna Miraftab, Seema Malhotra and Ester Dee picked up their arguments from last series and added a few more for good measure.
It was Ester’s 34th birthday and as expected she put on a show - burlesque feathers and all - which led to Perla slapping her husband Jonathan who was staring googly-eyed at her stage performance.
On top of this, we had a heartbreaking moment where Rachel Lugo broke down and revealed that her husband John of 23 years had reciprocated attention from another woman.
But thanks to Tanya, we had a couple of brilliantly light moments - one being over the way she pronounced ‘meme’.
“Hanna put a mee-mee up on instagram which is obviously about me,” she said, showing Perla the offending post.
“It’s a picture of her 'cheersing' saying ‘cheers to having a full set of real teeth. It’s obviously a dig at me, which is not really relevant to me anyway.
“But then I saw that Ester put loads of laughing faces down below it. I was like, wow.”
The second saw Tanya call Ester’s, ahem, lady parts a “ham sandwich” when the birthday girl was gyrating across the stage.
“Oh no just saw her ham butty again,” she said.
"It's aged well."
Twitter lit up with delight from viewers who couldn’t get enough of her one-liners.
One said: “Tanya calling a meme a mee mee has made my night.”
A second posted: “@TanyaBardo7 I love you but it’s a meme not a me me.”
A third said: "Excited to have @TanyaBardo7 back on my screen tonight belting out them one liners and facial expressions."
Another added: “Haha @TanyaBardo7 oh no I’ve her ham butty @DohnalovaEster best shout of the night.”
She even got a dig from the official RHOC account, which said: “d-did @TanyaBardo7 just say ‘Mee-mee’? It’s pronounced ‘mee-muh’ hun.”
The Real Housewives of Cheshire continues on Monday from 10pm on ITVBe.
