Real Housewives reunion descends into fights before they even started, and Dawn Ward rocked up in £3,700 designer boots

A Real Housewives of Cheshire reunion show wouldn't be the same without an explosive row breaking out - but we hear the drama began before the cameras even started rolling at the finale of series 10.

A source has claimed the reunion show was held up by arguments between the ladies before filming had begun.

If this happened before filming imagine how dramatic the reunion, which traditionally ends each series by bringing the cast together to air their differences, will turn out to be?

The source told us: "Filming was delayed by around two hours because some of them were arguing. There was drama before the reunion even started."

The Housewives were all smiles as they arrived for filming at the Midland Hotel.

Yoga teacher Perla Navia looked fabulous in a sweeping multi-coloured gown and newlywed Hanna Miraftab wowed in a red split-to-the-thigh dress with feathered one-shoulder detail.

Seema Malhotra and Tanya Bardsley both dazzled in sequin numbers and bubbly Ester Dee posed for the cameras in a pink flared coordinating two-piece.

And Dawn Ward said she 'never felt so nice' in a pair of show-stopping £3,750 Gina boots.

She teamed her sparkling over-the-knee stiletto boots with a black Balmain mini dress.

Sharing her look on Instagram she said: "Love them more than life, absolute goals, they look amazing with my Balmain dress."

Her pal fellow reality star Gemma Collins cheered: "The Ginas."

Newcomer Leilani Dowding, who has been seen in tears on the show after failing to hit it off with Dawn after joining the 10th series, was dressed casually in a quilted grey jacket and white jeans with grey riding-style boots as she arrived for the reunion - and she was later seen in a glamorous emerald green gown.

And Rachel Lugo, who announced her divorce from husband John in this series and had a shock row over Brexit with her bestie Dawn, also ramped up the glam in a striped mini dress.

In the series nine reunion earlier this year Hanna stormed off the set after she was dramatically branded  "a*** licker" by co-star Rachel over her friendship with Dawn.

"Hanna is so terrified of falling out with Dawn. Her fr****n **** is red raw. You are an a*** licker," she raged.

Moments later it was revealed that Seema had also walked off, leaving Ester sitting on a couch alone on the show hosted by Brian Dowling.

The reunion is set to be screened next month.

The Manchester Evening News has approached the show for comment.
