The first ever Real Housewives of London cast, ranked: Verdict on the wives who will cause the most drama
"The Real Housewives of London introduces six glamorous, stylish, and bold women who are making their mark across the capital's most prestigious postcodes," a synopsis of the series reads. "From Belgravia to Chelsea, these women balance ambition, family, and fierce friendships – all while living life at full volume."
"With big personalities, deep histories, and no shortage of designer drama, the path to connection is never simple – but it's always captivating," the synopsis continues. "London's calling... and this group always answers."
The series, which will be available to watch on Hayu, will run for 10 episodes with a reunion special hosted by Katherine Ryan, rather than the usual reunion host, Bravo's Andy Cohen. Ahead of its highly-anticipated release, we've taken a deep dive into the housewives that will appear on the very first London edition, giving our verdict on who is most likely to bring the tea. Piping hot, with two sugars, no less.
Here's everything you need to know about the cast of the Real Housewives of London season one, and our ranking on which wives will cause the most drama...
Age: 49
Profession: Actress turned creative producer
Marital status: Married, with two children
Instagram: @julietmayhew
Who is Juliet Mayhew?
Australian native Julia is a former Miss Galaxy Universe who now lives in one of Chelsea's most desirable neighbourhoods with partner, 'Tiggy', and their two teenage kids. A former actress, she now hosts immersive events and is a "committed philanthropist" – that, combined with her past as a Miss Galaxy Universe contestant makes us think she could be the peacekeeper of the group. That being said, she has a close friendship with Ladies of London and Real Housewives of Dubai star, Caroline Stanbury... so maybe a taste for drama isn't totally out of scope when it comes to Juliet.
Age: 42
Profession: Former Head of Global & International Equity FMAs turned literal cake boss
Marital status: Married, with three children
Instagram: @nessiewelschinger
Who is Nessie Welschinger?
Born and raised in London, Nessie lives in Chelsea – and also owns a 500-year-old Cotswolds estate – with her husband, Remy, and their three kids. She swapped business for baking, and currently runs the renowned Chelsea Cake Company, which infamously made one of Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday cakes. Unlike some of the other Real Housewives of London, Nessie hasn't got many ties to the world of reality TV but previously appeared on Bake Off: The Professionals, so we reckon the only pots she stirs are filled with cake batter!
Age: 48
Profession: Social media influencer, global brand partner, stylist, and former fashion publicist
Marital status: Married, with two kids
Instagram: @juliet
Who is Juliet Angus?
Born in Chicago but now a resident of glamorous West London, you'll recognise Juliet from Bravo's Ladies of London. A former fashion publicist – yep, she's giving major Samantha Jones energy – Juliet now works as a social media influencer, global brand partner, and stylist. Having already spent three years on Ladies of London, we're pretty confident that Juliet knows how to stir up a great storyline. Drama, incoming...
Age: 50
Profession: Fashion label owner
Marital status: Married, with three children
Instagram: @karenloderickpeace
Who is Karen Loderick-Peace?
Born in Jamaica, Karen moved to the UK in her twenties and now shares five (yes, five!) luxurious London homes with her husband Jeremy, former chairman and owner of West Bromwich Albion F.C. Peace by name, but not necessarily by nature, we reckon Karen's experience on Real Housewives of Jersey and Real Housewives of Cheshire will cement her as a leading lady on the London edition of the franchise.
Age: 51
Profession: Socialite
Marital status: Married, with three kids
Instagram: @thepantheaparker
Who is Panthea Parker?
Born in Iran, Panthea moved to the UK at the age of four and now lives in North London with her lawyer husband, Ed, and their three children. She also has an adult son from her first marriage. A well-known figure on the London social scene, Panthea made a name for herself in Mayfair, rubbing shoulders with A-listers at Annabel's as a glamorous party girl in the nineties. Considering she once got revenge on her cheating ex by maxxing out his credit card on a £140,000 shopping spree, we have no doubt she will bring the heat on Real Housewives of London.
Age: 56
Profession: Former model turned entrepreneur
Marital status: Divorced and single, with one daughter
Instagram: @amandacarolinecronin
Who is Amanda Cronin?
Former model Amanda now runs a successful skincare brand plus an aesthetics and wellness clinic in Belgravia. She has one daughter, a 27-year-old artist, and is a fixture on London's elite social scene (peep her Instagram for a look at her jet-set lifestyle). With close ties to US housewives, including Meredith Marks and Dorinda Medley, Amanda is no stranger when it comes to the recipe to reality TV success. And, as far as drama goes, she's sure to bring plenty, having already revealed (to the BBC) that producers told her she was causing "too much" on day one!
The Real Housewives of London debuts exclusively on Hayu on 18 August.

Vicki Gunvalson Claims She Got Parasite Like Brandi Glanville Filming Ultimate Girls Trip
The more we hear about the unaired Morocco edition of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, the more it sounds like something out of a horror film. Of course, we've all heard about Brandi Glanville's scandalous behavior that tanked the show. However, she also blamed the trip for her facial disfigurement. She believes she contracted a parasite while filming the show, and now Vicki Gunvalson says she may have been bitten by the same bug. Vicki Gunvalson spoke of Brandi Glanville's parasite 'pain' The Real Housewives of Orange County OG recently appeared on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live. During the episode, she explained how she learned she was 'loaded' with parasites. She didn't want to blame Bravo, but she's definitely blaming RHUGT. 'You know, Brandi is in so much pain, I mean she's got a very large parasite,' Vicki said, noting that she's '100%' confident that the Morocco trip caused it. According to Vicki, every single person on the cast got sick from the Morocco trip. Vicki said she has been suffering from gastrointestinal issues since filming, feeling bloated and sluggish. She's only going number two once a week. Even then, she said it comes out like 'pellets,' just in case you needed that mental image. After Dulcolax and Metamucil didn't get things moving for Vicki, she decided to get a colonic. That's where they made the big discovery that a bunch of parasites were whooping it up inside of her belly. Vicki recalled, 'We went to the colonic and she said, 'You have parasites. You are loaded with parasites all in your gut.'' At that point, the colonic provider asked if she traveled internationally. Although Vicki does spend a lot of time in Mexico, her mind immediately went to the ill-fated Morocco trip. She said every time they ate, flies swarmed their food. 'And that show never aired,' Vicki remarked. 'If it would have aired, we would have seen the flies on everything.' So, what's an Orange County girl to do when she's got parasites from Morocco wreaking havoc on her bowels? According to Vicki, she's doing colonics three times a week and taking ivermectin every month. As of now, she's still pooping pellets, so please keep the OG of the OC in your thoughts. The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip is streaming on Peacock, just not the Morocco one. You can also stream it on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – DO YOU THINK VICKI'S GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES ARE FROM RHUGT? SHOULD BRAVO AIR THE SEASON SO THAT WE CAN SEE THE FLIES?

Brandi Glanville Names Her Facial Parasite After a Real Housewives Star
, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star with a long history of on-camera feuds and off-camera fallout, is gaining attention again for saying something outlandish, if not dysfunctionally hilarious. Lately, Brandi has been dealing with a disturbing facial condition and serious legal drama tied to allegations from The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco co-star/Real Housewives of New Jersey alum, Caroline Manzo. Now, Brandi has taken things to a new level by naming her facial parasite after her sworn enemy. Brandi Glanville has named her facial parasite 'Caroline' In a TikTok video posted Sunday, Brandi revealed that she tried to kill a parasite on her face by applying Nair, a chemical hair-removal cream. She also casually mentioned that she has named the parasite 'Caroline,' a clear jab at Manzo. Brandi said she used the hair removal cream as an exfoliant because it 'pisses Caroline off' or 'whoever's living in [her] face.' She called Nair a cheaper alternative to peels and lasers. 'Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out. But I over did it,' she said. She left the cream on for seven minutes, which caused shocking burns and peeling skin. Fans quickly flooded the comments, begging her to stop using drugstore products on her face and to see a doctor. Others were amused by the name she chose for her unwelcome passenger. Only a few days before this mess, she gave an update making it seem like her health issues were moving in a positive direction. Brandi has claimed that multiple doctors have struggled to diagnose her skin condition, but she did reach out to Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow for help. According to her, Terry tried to help, but even he was unsure of what was happening to her face. Brandi and Caroline both left filming for RHUGT in 2023 after Manzo accused her of sexual assault. Since then, the legal battle has continued. Manzo filed a lawsuit against Bravo in 2024, later adding claims of disability discrimination. Bravo tried to have the case dismissed, but it is still active. Brandi has denied all of the allegations. On Tori Spelling's Misspelling podcast, she said the fallout destroyed her mental health and career. 'It's ruined my life. I was in a fetal position on my couch, contemplating suicide,' she said. She also joined OnlyFans to make up for lost income but had to stop when her facial issues worsened. Brandi said, 'It's just been a really tough time.' So, if you were ever thinking about slathering Nair on your face to snuff out a parasite, let this be a cautionary tale. The Morocco season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip may never see the light of day due to the legal controversy. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills streams on Peacock and Hayu in the U.K. and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO BRANDI NAMING HER FACIAL PARASITE AFTER CAROLINE MANZO?
