Real Housewives of Cheshire star claims she was 'edited to look like an angry black woman'

Former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Magali Gorre has claimed that show bosses edited her to make her look like an "angry black woman".

Magali appeared on the ITVBe programme for the first and second series until 2016 and has said that she would like to represent "women of colour".

She told the Manchester Evening Standard that fans have often pleaded with her make a return to the reality TV series.

The Dutch mother-of-three, who is married to former footballer Dean Gorre, said: "Twenty seven years ago I married my husband and I grew up in the white world of football.

"I went to a girls' school where everybody was white and I was black.

"On the show I represented women of colour and especially black women."

However, Magali also said that she was disappointed that she was never able to get "closure" by taking part in the reunion shows, which were introduced after the second series.

"I was labelled as a black angry woman," she said. "The way I was edited and the way they protected certain people.

"The scenes they showed, I look like I'm trouble but I'll tell you when I'm not happy."

Mirror TV has contacted ITV for comment.

Opening up about moving to Cheshire 22 years ago with her family, Magali said that she was "very lucky" that the locals were "very warm" towards her.

Magali is also hopeful of a return to TV, saying: "I'm a Cheshire woman living in Cheshire and I hope I can come back representing women of colour.

"I love reality TV and I hope I get a chance somewhere on TV."
