Tanya Bardsley's son shows his business brain as he makes £100 by playing football

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley had to hand it to her son Renz for his business acumen.

The cheeky seven-year-old came up with a cunning way to make some cash from his parents.

The budding footballer, who is following in the footsteps of dad Burnley player Phil, approached his mum and dad, a relative and also a family friend separately to ask if he could have £5 for every goal he scored during a match on Saturday morning.

The four agreed, and Renz went on to score five goals, earning himself £100.

Reality TV star Tanya wrote about his scheming on Instagram.

And she posted a photo of her boy smiling delightedly with the cash joking '£5 a goal I won't be coming again."

"Renz separately asked me @phil_bardsley @josh_bardsley12 And @kialcallacher_ if he could have a fiver for each goal he scored this morning from each of us and he scored 5 goals the little s*** got himself 100 quid never again," she said.

Impressed with his entrepreneurial skills, the proud mum added the words 'clever', 'cheeky' and 'love him' in a stream of hashtags.

Boutique owner Tanya, 39, also has sons Rocco, 11, and Ralphi, four, with Phil, 35, and a daughter Gabriella, 19, from a previous relationship.

"I like his style, well done Renz," one follower commented.

"Well done Renz not only a good goal scorer but also an entrepreneur," said another.

And another parent told her: "I give my son £5 for every goal he scores, all the other lads on the team found out and now their parents do the same lol! I’m not the most popular parent."

Tanya is one of the original stars of the hit ITVBe reality show The Real Housewives of Cheshire, about the antics of a group of wealthy women living in Cheshire, having been in it since it launched in 2015.

The entrepreneur and life coach recently opened up about being diagnosed with dyslexia after discovering her eldest son Rocco also had the learning disorder.

She says she was bullied at school after struggling with reading, but there wasn't the same awareness of dyslexia at the time.

Rocco was eight when he was tested by his teachers it was found that Tanya had it as well.

Rocco was diagnosed after it was found he was falling behind at school and thankfully he's since come on in 'leaps and bounds.'
