Real Housewives of Cheshire star has found love on a dating site with a 'normal guy'

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Rachel Lugo has delighted fans by revealing that she's found love again.

Property landlord Rachel shared a snap of herself and her new man on Instagram, and she described him as a 'normal guy' who she met on a dating site.

The mother-of-five, who was married to John Lugo for 24 years, shared the photo of the smiling couple with the words "me and you" with a love-heart emoji.

The post prompted much excitement among her followers, and Rachel responded with love hearts and blowing kiss emojis.

And she was happy to clarify when one follower asked: "Main question is why is he there? Does he have money? Is he there to make money via her TV fame and get paid per episode or is he there for her money? That is the 1 million dollar WIN/WIN question."

And she replied: "We met on a dating site. He’s a very normal guy living a very normal life ... we just have a connection where we are both just really silly...we laugh a lot."

And to another who said "you don't hang about" she clapped back "it’s been two years".

Mother-of-five Rachel revealed last year on the hit ITVBe reality show that she was divorcing her husband.

"I've kind of made a big decision in my life and it is a big step," she said.

"I've decided that I'm not going to take anymore s**t and it's not a celebration, I don't want any cheers because it's quite sad after 24 years but I've actually petitioned for divorce."

Rachel, who joined the sixth series of the ITVBe reality series in 2017 shared an Instagram post on New Year's Eve 2018 which said: "Cheating on a good person is like throwing away a diamond and picking up a rock."

And she added: "You are welcome to him! Happy New Year!"

"You deserve to be happy @rachellugo1. Sending lots of love. X" said another follower.

"You look really happy Rachel. X" said another.

And her friend and co-star said the pair are a 'match made in heaven.'

"What a perfect man for a perfect lady.

"Match made in heaven so pleased to see my gorgeous friend happy totally approve of our Nick you’re both lucky to have found each other my little pocket rocket is happy that’s life complete you deserve it babe love you Lugo and Nick, here’s to exciting times ahead and a few holiday bobs."
