While the British-Iranian socialite is now happily married to leading lawyer Edmund Parker, she revealed her personal life wasn't always so rosy.
Speaking in the first episode, the 50-year-old, Panthea confessed that she once went on a mega shopping spree in luxury department store Harrods after learning her husband had been unfaithful.
In one scene, the reality TV star was seen shopping with a friend.

She said: "I have shopped so much in my lifetime, that now going shopping is a chore.
"I spent £140,000 in one go in Harrods, which back then, is the equivalent to shopping three-hundred-and-something thousand."
She went on: "I literally took that Amex and I was cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
''What an idiot I was. I should've taken the money and bought an apartment and be renting it out now."

On the Real Housewives of London After Show, Panthea also told co-star and friend Nessie Welschinger: "I married a very wealthy man and I found out that he had got somebody else pregnant at the same time as me.
"I went to Harrods and blew £150,000 in one go."
A shocked Nessie responded: "That was a revenge shop!"

Some of the follow co-stars also had something to say about the bizarre revenge tactic.
Amanda Cronin and Karen Loderick-Peace discussed the shopping spree, but suggested she could've used the money in a better way.

Karen said: "Make it make sense... clothes? We don't mind, but we like assets."
Amanda added: "We like property, art, jewellery, cars are an asset if you buy limited. My Bentley's limited."
She went on: "A piece of clothing really isn't an asset, it's just a piece of cloth. It was overpriced in the first place.
"If Panthea's spending that money, I bet now she might think she'd spent it in a more intelligent way."
The mum-of-four - who shares three kids with lawyer Ed and an adult son agreed from the previous relationship, said: "It's not flexing, it's regretting."

Panthea doesn't work, having shared with Grazia during an interview: ''I've been privileged enough never having to work, and then I got married to someone who was very wealthy, who bought me Chanel and flew me on Concorde back in the day.''
'London has big heels to fill'
THE Real Housewives Of Cheshire's Lauren Simon, 53, says . . .
"We've bared our souls on Cheshire – divorces, marriages, vow renewals.
London has a lot to live up to but they're going to smash it.
I've met Amanda Cronin – beautiful, feisty, not afraid to marry and divorce as a hobby.
Karen, who once filmed with us, is quietly confident.
I'll never forget watching her eat a fish eye in Malta.
Good luck, London – you've got big heels to fill.'

People say I have the ‘nicest council house they've seen' & it's infuriated trolls who say ‘that's where our taxes go'
Read on for how to get a council house HOUSE THIS People say I have the 'nicest council house they've seen' & it's infuriated trolls who say 'that's where our taxes go' A WOMAN who showed off her new council house has been trolled as people claim they're paying for it. Robyn, a mum-of-one from the UK, was thrilled to get a house she could call home after being in temporary accommodation for four months. 2 Robyn had finally got her dream council house Credit: 2 But not everyone was pleased for the mum Credit: Advertisement The mum shared her new council house in a recent TikTok video and it left people stunned. The new house had two large bedrooms, a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, plenty of storage space and a front room leading to a massive garden. And despite most council houses being outdated, hers was brand new as it was in a newbuild complex. Robyn wrote: "After four long months of being in temporary accommodation, me and my one-year-old have been offered my dream home." Advertisement The swanky council house featured grey walls, silver hardware and marble tiles. Of course, Robyn was feeling lucky and excited for the next chapter of her life in the new home. In the comments, she revealed she had to bid for it like with most council homes and was fortunately accepted. However, it seemed that not everyone was happy with the mum's new home. Advertisement Some cruel trolls took to the comments of the video which went viral on her TikTok account @robynl2000 with over 943k views. Some were claiming it was their taxes that were funding the house, with some stating it was better than theirs. I'm trolled for 'wasting my money' by making my council house nice - but I plan to stay here for years so I won't stop One person wrote: "Are you going to thank me for working hard paying taxes to pay for your home? You're welcome." Another commented: "Nice! I have to go to work." "That's a council house? That's mental. Mine had no skirting boards and kitchen cupboards hanging off when I got mine," penned a third. Advertisement Meanwhile a fourth said: "Damn these council houses are better than the ones I can afford to buy working 63hours a week. Minimum." How can I get a council house? To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. To find your local authority, simply use the Government's council locator tool on its website. Once you have access to your local council's website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application. After applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn't guarantee you a council house offer. Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage. You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently. Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on "points" or a "banding" system. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you: are homeless live in cramped conditions have a medical condition made worse by your current home are seeking to escape domestic violence Once you are high enough on a council's waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available. Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds. EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible. A council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority. The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list. There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list. "Wait what? That's the nicest council house I've seen,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: "This is a council house ?! That's actually insane it's absolutely beautiful, it's honestly about time they took care of their properties as some are in terrible condition and they expect families to live in them with mould."

90s sitcom star unrecognizable ahead of reunion with castmates from hit show – can you guess who?
A SITCOM legend is set to reunite with one of her most famous co-stars – though you may not recognise her. The actress shot to fame in Home Improvement back in the 90s, but over 30 years later she's ditched her brunette locks to embrace a stunning silver. 5 This actress looks completely different to her time on the classic sitcom Credit: Getty 5 Patricia played Taylor matriarch Jill in Home Improvement Credit: Getty 5 Jill is now set to reunite with her on-screen husband, Tim Allen, for his new series Credit: Getty Patricia Richardson, now 74, found fame on the beloved ABC show as Jill Taylor, the wife of central character Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor, played by Tim Allen. The show followed the Detroit husband-and-wife duo with their three sons – Brad, Randy and Mark – as Tim hosted his own DIY show, Tool Time. Her role earned her four Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe nominations for best actress in a comedy series. Since the series ended in 1999, Patricia took on a leading role in medical drama Strong Medicine, where she played Dr Andy Campbell for four years. Following that, she had a recurring role in the iconic political series, The West Wing. From there, she's appeared in arcs in Grey's Anatomy, NCIS and The Blacklist. But now she's coming full circle with a confirmed appearance in Tim Allen's latest sitcom, Shifting Gears, which tracks the life of a widowed car restorer. Patricia will be reuniting with her on-screen husband Tim in the season premiere on October 1st, 26 years since their time together on Home Improvement – but she won't be the only Home Improvement star dropping by. They will be joined by fellow co-stars Richard Karn, who played Al Borland and 'Tool Time Girl' Heidi Keppert star Debbe Dunning in the same episode. Running from 1991 to 1999, Patricia appeared in all 208 episodes of Home Improvement – with an average 34million American homes tuning in, making it the number one sitcom in the country. Tim Allen and Home Improvement co-stars Richard Karn and Debbe Dunning reunite 25 years after popular sitcom ended At the time, she sported a signature brown bob and bangs, and was seen trying to keep the men in her life in line – especially Tim, who she challenged about familial roles in the home. Throughout the course of the show, character Jill went from a stay-at-home mom to a career-focused psychologist, enlisting in school after losing her job as a researcher for a magazine. But she originally was hesitant to take on the most defining role of her career, having given birth to twins shortly before filming for season one began. The team were so desperate to have her on board, they made concessions for her, including a second dressing room for the babies to rest in. It was ultimately her decision, alongside Allen's, to end the show, telling LA Times in 2024: 'I told everybody, there's not enough money in the world to get me to do a ninth year. This show is over. It needs to end.' In the season finale, the family were seen moving to Indiana for the sake of Jill's career. Reflecting on the show's history, she said: 'I'm really proud of what it meant to our audience. 'I don't care what anybody says, I'm proud of the legacy.' 5 Patricia said she is 'proud of the legacy' of the series Credit: Getty
