Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives stars want series to show ‘we are normal'
The first season of the hit reality series followed a group of Mormon influencers based in Utah in the US, caught in the midst of a sex-swinging scandal.
Mormonism is a restorationist Christian movement which discourages alcohol, tobacco and caffeine, as well as sex outside marriage.
Ngatikaura and Whitney Leavitt discussed the show's next season on ITV's This Morning and explained that the series followed the creation of 'MomTok' – a collective of women who make videos on TikTok.
'MomTok is a group of women. We all did social media together, and it started out just a group of mums getting together and making fun videos on social media, and then it turned into what it is today, which is crazy,' said Leavitt.
She added: 'I think what's really cool about this whole group is that all of us live it a little bit differently, like some maybe a little bit more than others.
'So hopefully someone who's watching can relate to one of us, but yeah, no drinking coffee, no premarital sex, dress modestly, no tattoos.'
Ngatikaura left the church and said there are women 'of different faith levels' on the show.
'I left about five, six years ago, but my family is Mormon, my friends are Mormon, so I'm still in the culture,' she said.
'It just wasn't for me. But I love that about our show, is that we have so many different faith levels.

This Morning presenter Paddy McGuinness said it is 'good to talk' about Mormonism so people know 'it's not what you think it is when you see the films'.
Ngatikaura responded: 'We wanted to show that because everyone thinks Mormons are like pilgrims and sister wives and we can't do anything, but we showcase that we are just normal people.'
Season two follows the lives of the women after the success of season one and sees Miranda McWhorter join the series 'to set the record straight on the swinging scandal'.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially condemns polygamy but there are other groups, referred to as 'Mormon fundamentalists', who engage in the practice.
The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives season two is available on Disney+ in the UK.

Bono takes aim at Elon Musk after appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast
Bono has taken aim at Elon Musk and DOGE after he appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. The U2 frontman appeared on Joe's podcast on Friday (May 30), where he discussed his previous involvement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which was gutted by Mr Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Speaking on the controversial UFC commentator's podcast, Bono said that the relationship between the USA and the rest of the world is changing due to the current Trump administration. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joe Rogan (@joerogan) 'I think America's more vulnerable now than it's ever been,' Bono said. 'It feels like America's fallen out of love with the rest of the world. I don't think the world wants to fall out of love with America.' Speaking on DOGE and USAID, Bono also cited a report saying that over 300,000 people have died due to the USAID cuts, as food that was set to go to underdeveloped countries is 'rotting in boats' as a result. 'There's food rotting in boats, in warehouses. There is – this will f**k you off – you will not be happy, no American will, but there is, I think it's 50,000 tonnes of food that are stored in Djibouti, South Africa, Dubai and – wait for it – Houston, Texas,' Bono claimed. 'And that is rotting rather than going to Gaza, rather than going to Sudan, because the people who know the codes for the warehouse are fired, they're gone. What is that? That's not America, is it?' Bono has taken aim at Elon Musk and DOGE after he appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. Pic: YouTube Bono also said that a Christian aid organisation working with malnourished children was forced to 'choose which child to pull off the IVs' because of the cuts, and said that evil 'rejoices' in the deaths of children. 'I don't know if evil is a strong word, too strong a word, but what we know about pure evil is it rejoices in the deaths, the squandering of human life, particularly children's,' Bono said. 'It actually rejoices in it and whether it's incompetence, whether it's unintended consequences, it's not too late for people.' While Joe agreed with Bono that there were organisations 'that do tremendous good all throughout the world, there was a 'money laundering operation' in organisations that had no oversight in the mismanagement of trillions of dollars. Bono appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast where he said that 300,000 people have died due to USAID cuts at the hands of DOGE. Pic: Joe Rogan/Instagram Bono added that while he was in contact with Secretary of State in charge of USAID Marco Rubio, Senator Rubio believes that no one has died yet from the USAID cuts — saying 'He's convinced people aren't dying yet. I don't know who's telling him, or not telling him, rather. But his instincts are correct.' Mr Musk also fired back at Bono, writing on Twitter (X), writing 'he's such a liar/idiot. Zero people have died!'
