Tanya Bardsley returns to Real Housewives in dramatic new ITVBe spin-off

The Real Housewives of Cheshire are set to welcome back former stars Tanya Bardsley and Ester Dee for a special spin-off series.

As Brits prepare for a cold winter, the glamourous ladies of The Golden Triangle will set sail from port to port in search of sun, sea and laughs – but there will be a few waves along the way.

However, it appears that Katie Alex who joined the show in season 15 did not film the new spin-off series, although there is no suggestion she has left the show.

Making their way around Mexico will be Tanya, Lauren Simon, Lystra Adams, Nicole Sealey, Rachel Lugo, Sheena Lynch and Seema Malhotra.

But Tanya isn't the only face making a return for The Real Housewives of Cheshire: Christmas Cruising, blonde bombshell Ester Dee is also sailing back into the lives of her pals.

The star, originally from the Czech Republic recently made a cameo appearance on the latest series but is set to sail around the Central American country.

Tanya became a firm fan favourite, having starred in the launch episode of the programme back in 2015 before making the decision to walk away in 2021.

Almost two years later, the mum-of-four has now had a complete lifestyle change and has made the decision to return for the spin-off show.

Speaking about initially walking away, Tanya told the Daily Star : "I'd just been diagnosed with ADHD and had the seizure.

"The doctors said I couldn't have any stress and then I left the Housewives and got rid of the shop.

"I just went back to basics, I had a breakdown and sort of breaking free now, I might eventually get another shop back, it is in some stores and it's online but that has a lot of people to look after it."

She added: "I was in a bad way, a really bad way.

"Part of ADHD, I was always taking on more stuff and with the Housewives, I have enough arguments in my own head so I don't have any space to have any other arguments with other people."

Season 15 saw Hanna Kinsella and Seema Malhotra's friendship come under question but it appears that they might not be back on track yet.

Last month, it also emerged that Hanna and Nicole may not have made up after Hanna unleashed a blistering rant on Instagram.

During a Q&A, the mum-of-two was asked: "Whose the worse cast member to film with [sic]?" to which she replied: "What a question! To be honest it's good fun filming with all of the girls but I think Nicole can be a proper diva sometimes! Lots of walking off and storming out!"

The Real Housewives of Cheshire: Christmas Cruising , Mondays from 5 th December at 9PM on ITVBe and the ITV Hub.
