From drinks with DiCaprio to £140k shopping sprees – meet 6 fiery Real Housewives of London as city finally joins series
NEW YORK, Beverly Hills, Dubai and even Cheshire – there are few places the Real Housewives franchise has not been. And after 19 years on the air, the show is finally coming to London. 8 From left: Juliet Mayhew, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Nessie Welschinger, Juliet Angus and Panthea Parker Credit: Getty It looks like Housewives gold — with six fiery castmates, the claws are out and you can expect a load of bitching, backstabbing, designer wardrobes, filler and out-of-touch elitism. As cast member Amanda Cronin tells it: 'No cost-of-living crisis here.' The Bravo franchise first came to Orange County, California in 2006 then hit New York, Atlanta and Miami — making stars of Teresa Giudice, NeNe Leakes, Bethenny Frankel and more. Since then, it has even spawned versions in Nigeria and Poland. Bravo tried to crack England with 2014 series Ladies Of London, which then ran for three series, but it was quietly retired after tragedies in the cast. Noelle Reno left in 2014 after her boyfriend died falling from the balcony of her London flat, and Annabelle Neilson died of a heart attack in 2018. But now The Real Housewives Of London is go — streamed by Hayu from Monday and promising corking champagne-fuelled feuds in Chelsea and Belgravia. During the season debut, a dinner to mark International Women's Day ends with, ahem, one of the housewives being called a 'chronic liar and insecure tart'. From hard partying with Leonardo DiCaprio, to £140,000 shopping sprees, here we profile the cast of the new series . . . Inside RHOC Season 18 Drama: Shocking Departures and Explosive Feuds Juliet Mayhew While her broad Aussie accent may not scream London elite, former actress Juliet is a fixture in wealthy Chelsea. The 47-year-old grew up in North Queensland until she was 12, when she was sent to a UK boarding school by her British parents. 8 Juliet Mayhew grew up in North Queensland until she was 12, when she was sent to a UK boarding school by her British parents Credit: Getty She describes herself as a creative director but also lists party organising and selling leather goods on her CV.

She says friend and Ladies of London OG cast member Caroline Stanbury - who once dated Prince Andrew - convinced her to take part in the show. Karen Loderick-Peace Karen, 50, might already be a familiar face.

She said: 'I've always been glamorous, because being from the Caribbean we exude glamour.' Juliet Angus As the only Ladies of London cast member to join the RHOLND cast, stylist Juliet can teach the cast a thing or two about drama. In the 2014 series, she repeatedly clashed with other housewives including an episode where she angrily refused to eat veal calling the meat 'Bambi'. 8 Juliet Angus has told how she schmoozed with celebs in Los Angeles before she settled down Credit: Getty The Chicago native, 49, has told how she schmoozed with celebs in Los Angeles before she settled down. Lindsay Lohan is godmother to one of her children, in her twenties dated comedian Bob Saget who died in 2022 and has partied with Leonardo di Caprio. She said: 'I had a dance-off one time at this club, Joseph's, with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Every night it was a different club.' But all that changed when she met Canadian media exec husband Gregor and the pair settled down in London in 2011. As an influencer, Juliet has amassed 330,000 instagram followers and has started her own jewellery line, toting her net worth up to an estimated £4.4million. Aside from influencing, she's often hosting soirees at her Notting Hill home - often enlisting chefs from sushi restaurant Nobu to do the catering. Amanda Cronin Skincare entrepreneur and influencer Amanda, 56, has already designated herself 'queen bee' of the series. Dubbed 'the longest legs in Belgravia', it's no wonder the Hampshire native was scouted as a model in her youth and ended up partying on Monacan superyachts. 8 Amanda Cronin has already designated herself 'queen bee' of the series Credit: Getty She landed a reportedly huge settlement from her second husband First Utility boss Mark Daeche in 2019 rumoured to be near the £40million mark. Following her divorce she dated Wham!'s Andrew Ridgely but the pair went their separate ways in 2023. Now she lives the high life with a £10million jewellery collection and a Belgravia property portfolio, presumably funded by selling £3,000 facials to her equally elite customers. And she's no stranger to reality TV - she appeared in Channel 4's the Millionairess and Me in 2022. Bizarrely, she claims to have never watched the Real Housewives franchise. Nessie Welschinger NOT so much a housewife, Nessie is a former investment banker and now a baker to the stars. Her cakes - which sell for up to £15,000 - are enjoyed by A-Listers and she even whipped up a vanilla cake for Queen Elizabeth II for her 90th birthday. 8 Nessie Welschinger is a former investment banker and now a baker to the stars Credit: Getty Her company the Chelsea Cake Company counts London hotels Claridges and THe Ritz among her clients. But she is a relative newcomer to the world of reality TV, having only taken part in Bake Off: The Professionals in 2021. But the mum-of three is friends with co-star Juliet Angus who may have talked the relatively down-to-earth Nessie round. The 42-year-old Londoner says she met her husband mining mogul Remy at Limehouse tube station in 2006. Since then, their life has become decidedly more glamorous with a lavish Chelsea home and a 500-year-old country estate in the Cotswolds to their names.

The 51-year-old tells how she took her cheating ex-husband's credit card on a £140,000 shopping spree in one day. 8 Panthea Parker flies the flag for retail therapy in the series Credit: Getty She said: 'It felt really good.' Born in Iran, Panthea moved to the UK aged four and grew up in Pimlico. While some of her wealthy mates may be snobby about her postcode, she boasts that her address meant she could park in front of Harrods. She partied in posh nightclub Annabel's in the 90s with A-list pals who, she says, have barred her from mentioning them on the show. Now married to top lawyer Edmund Parker, the couple count former home secretary Suella Braverman as a pal. In the trailer, she says she will grill King Charles III on Prince Harry's behaviour at a Buckingham Palace garden party before Ed warns her not to. The mum-of-three says she's a fan of botox and is planning to get a facelift next year. '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.'

The Real Housewives of London FIRST LOOK: A West Bromwich Albion WAG, the socialite ex of an 80s pop icon and our late Queen's former baker make the cut as cast is finally confirmed
The full line-up for the highly-anticipated new reality show The Real Housewives Of London has finally been confirmed - with the cast pictured together for the first time. The series, the third UK Real Housewives programme after the Cheshire and Jersey versions, will follow a number of wealthy and glamorous women based in the capital. Reality TV channel Hayu announced last year it was making the brand new show which is due to drop at some point this year, with the exact date and details yet to be confirmed. Rumours have been flying about which ladies will take to our screens in the 30th version of the Real Housewives franchise, which went into production in March. But the final list was confirmed today, with the stars pictured together for the first time - and among them are some surprising faces. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Juliet Angus Born in Chicago but now settled in West London, Juliet Angus first hit our screens as a cast member on reality show Ladies of London. The programme aired on Bravo for three seasons after beginning in 2014 and followed the lives of a group of women, fashionistas, and socialites. A social media influencer, global brand partner, stylist and former fashion publicist, Juliet, 49, already boasts 326,000 Instagram followers. The wife and mother-of-two regularly posts snippets of her wealthy lifestyle, including recent trips to multiple five-star wellness hotels in Italy. Juliet also has a slew of snaps showcasing her designer handbag collection, such as a customised embellished Bulgari bag. But last year, she was the victim of a burglary in which her huge collection of handbags, worth tens of thousands of pounds, was stolen. 'Twenty-five years of collecting stolen by horrible humans, low-life criminals,' she raged. 'Rebuilding my Hermes handbag collection,' she says. Born in Chicago but now settled in West London, Juliet Angus (pictured) first hit our screens as a cast member on reality show Ladies of London '[I] have to start all over. These bags are expensive, and a lot of work goes into being able to afford just one.' Hermes bags can cost anything from £900 for a new one to £90,000 for a rare vintage piece. She shares her two children Georgina and Truman with Canadian husband Gregor Angus, who co-founded True Royalty TV, an on-demand platform for content about royals globally. But in 1997, she dated actor and comedian Bob Saget. Following the How I Met Your Mother star's death in 2022, aged just 65, Juliet paid an emotional tribute to him: 'You can get lucky to have good people come into your life to help shape who you become. 'To make you better, for your next chapter, a better friend, wife, mother. Bob did that. May angels be near you old friend and may they be laughing,' Juliet added. 'My thoughts to his wife, children, friends, family and their broken hearts.' Juliet closed out her salute to the comedian with a punchline: 'RIP Bob, thank you for never being an a**hole to me in my 20's.' But in 1997, she dated actor and comedian Bob Saget Amanda Cronin Millionaire skincare brand owner Amanda Cronin is another of the stars taking part in the show. The socialite, 56, made headlines when she dated Wham! legend Andrew Ridgeley between 2022 and 2023. There is hope the model-turned-entrepreneur will 'divulge details of their whirlwind romance' on the show, according to the Sun. Back in 2023, Amanda revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail why they went their separate ways - blaming the split on him not being 'relationship material'. 'I'm looking for a monogamous relationship,' she said at the time. 'When the next Mr Right comes along, he will have the same set of values that I have. I'm quite traditional, a sweet, country girl. 'I'm also discerning and want to be around other people who understand what that means.' The mother-of-one, to a 27-year-old artist daughter, added: 'I'm intelligent, demanding. Not for everyone.' The pair met in 2022 after they were seated together at a friend's birthday dinner and while she initially did not recognise the singer, the pair quickly became close and he invited her to join him at Wimbledon. 'It's massive — dating Andrew Ridgeley from Wham! — wow,' says Amanda. 'I'm quite proud of it. He's a good person and it was just great, a lot of fun, and will make a fabulous chapter in my memoir.' Amanda lives in a £12million Belgravia mansion and claims to have a jewellery collection worth £10million, as well as a £200,000 chauffeur-driven Bentley - and starred in a 2022 documentary about her luxe life, called The Millionairess and Me. She is the founder of a luxury skincare company called Amanda Caroline which sells the 'Haute Luxe' package for £380 and Haute Lift serum for £150. The company's latest accounts show debts of £290,000 with less than £3,000 worth of assets held in the company. Most of the debt is in the form of a director's loan from Amanda herself. She also runs The Secret Door, an aesthetics and wellness clinic in London's upmarket Belgravia area. Amanda has previously revealed catching Covid early in 2020 helped her stop taking Xanax and sleeping pills she had been taking since the breakdown of her marriage. 'As I started to recover, I realised that I hadn't taken any medication for six weeks and thought, "Oh, I'll keep going,"' she says. 'So I dug out all the pills and threw them away.' Amanda is also pals with many celebrities - including singer Jennifer Lopez. She boasts close ties to other Real Housewives stars too - like Meredith Marks from Salt Lake City's show and Dorinda Medley from New York City's rendition. Karen Loderick-Peace Karen Loderick-Peace will already be familiar to reality TV fans from her stint on The Real Housewives of Jersey. After two series from 2020 to 2022, the star, 49, will now be making the move from the Channel island-based show to its London counterpart. A businesswoman currently preparing to launch her own fashion brand, she shares snippets of her luxury lifestyle on social media with her thousands of followers. Born in Jamaica, Karen moved to the UK in her twenties, where she later met her husband - former West Brom chairman and owner, Jeremy Peace. She could often be seen by his side at The Hawthorns stadium. The couple, who met in London, moved from their Knightsbridge home to St Brelade, Jersey, a decade ago. They share three children and own five luxury properties across London, Jersey and Barbados.

Juliet admitted to being 'horrified' by the 'painful' wedding night following her strict Christian upbringing by parents who refused to discuss sex with her. Despite her uncomfortable experience, Juliet told host Cynthia Garrett she has lectured young women on abstinence. She said: 'I was like "Girls, If you are representing excellence, just stop sleeping with your boyfriends". 'I think people from the pulpit need to start setting some boundaries.'

Panthea went on to reveal she had told fellow garden party guests about her upcoming role in Real Housewives Of London. 'I've been chatting to my friends over here about, you know, that people will be wanting my autograph soon, right?!' she said. 'I've just shared with them my secret. Ed [her husband] is dying!

Bravo Has Fans Buzzing With Slate of New Shows
It is a good time to be a Bravo fan. This week, the reality television network best known for its 'Real Housewives' franchise ordered a slate of new shows that seem to have something for everyone. There are new spinoffs featuring familiar stars, reboots of old series and even a crossover phenomenon. Here's what is known so far about the four new shows. 'The Real Housewives of Rhode Island' Fans have long speculated that the network would announce a new location for 'Real Housewives,' its flagship franchise of series that document the personal and professional lives of a group of women in a specific city or region. Many seemed to think Chicago would be considered, but the network surprised everyone this week by announcing 'The Real Housewives of Rhode Island' as the 11th location in the franchise. Bravo described the women who would be featured on the show as: 'A tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations. With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there's no escaping your past … or each other.' The cast and premiere date have yet to be officially revealed, but fans are already speculating on social media, with unverified lists of potential women. 'Ladies of London' After eight years off the air, Bravo announced that 'Ladies of London' — imagine a 'Real Housewives' show but with British royalty, international socialites and American expats — was returning to the network. 'As tradition clashes with the fast-paced globalized world, these power players redefine what it means to be a woman of status in one of the most iconic cities in the world,' the news release said. Bravo has not revealed who will be included in the cast, but it's unlikely to feature the original show's socialite star, Caroline Stanbury, as she's left Britain for the United Arab Emirates as a member of 'The Real Housewives of Dubai.' 'The Valley: Persian Style' Who knew the San Fernando Valley was such a hotbed for interpersonal drama? After the success of the 'Vanderpump Rules' spinoff show 'The Valley,' which follows the lives of married Bravolebrities living in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there's now 'The Valley: Persian Style.' The new offering is basically two spinoff shows combined: 'The Valley' and 'Shahs of Sunset,' a show that aired from 2012 to 2021 and followed the lives of Persian influencers in Los Angeles. 'The Valley: Persian Style' will feature the former 'Shahs of Sunset' stars Reza Farahan, Golnesa Gharachedaghi (who goes by GG) and Mercedes Javid (who goes by MJ). The cast members 'share a deep connection to their Persian culture, something that runs just as strong in the group of friends they now call family,' the new release for the show said. 'As they take on the next stage of life in the Valley, their world is bigger, their circle is bolder and their challenges are more real than ever.' 'Love you all and so happy to be back and REPRESENTING,' Ms. Gharachedaghi wrote on Instagram after the announcement, while Mr. Farahan posted 'Coming home to Bravo feels so good!' 'Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition' The last new series Bravo announced is also a combination of two franchises: Bravo's 'Real Housewives,' and 'Wife Swap,' an ABC reality show that aired from 2004 to 2010 in which two wives leading very different lives swapped children, husbands and homes. In this new iteration, Real Housewives will trade lives with real housewives, which Bravo's release said would lead to 'laugh-out-loud moments, personal epiphanies and an opportunity to see if the grass is truly greener.' Bravo has been scant on details — including which Housewives will participate and when the show will premiere — but fans are already building their dream casts.
