Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon has taken a trip down memory lane and shared some throwback photos of herself.

The reality star took to her Instagram Story and admitted that she looks completely different to nowadays.

"I don't even recognise me," she wrote alongside her first throwback photo.

She then shared another photo of herself with her girl friends and said, "Curly hair don't care".

It looks like younger Lauren usually wore her hair in curls which is far from her straight red hair we always see on the Real Housewife today.

Speaking of the RHOC, Lauren isn't the only star of the show to show off a transformation.

Last month Rachel Lugo shared a rare photo of her 'incredible' body transformation that she's not shown anyone else before.

"Five pregnancies.. Five beautiful children... and I wouldn’t change them for the world 🥰🥰 ," she wrote.

"If you're gonna cross me, you'd better not cross me. You don't mess with Magali."Magali starred in Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2015. Although the housewife only appeared in series one and two, after shouting-matches and rifts, she definitely left a lasting impression on her co-stars. Magali even found herself wrapped up in a twitter-spat with RHOC star Ester Dee in spring 2018, when Ester claimed she didn't know who Magali was.

Rachel went on to say, "My skin didn’t stretch well though which left me with excess saggy skin and I was covered in stretch marks. No matter how much exercise I did I just couldn’t get rid of it.

"I used to tuck the overhang into my Spanx 🙈🙈 which I wore everyday. I love what our bodies are capable of doing and having children is an absolute blessing but I also wanted to regain my confidence with my body."

And in more Real Housewives news, late last year OG star Dawn Ward quit the show after 12 seasons.

"I’ve had the most incredible journey, not just me, but my whole family. It really has been amazing for us...

"Everyone who knows me knows I’m all about my family, so I’ve decided that after 12 seasons on the show I would like to concentrate on projects with them."

She added, "Exciting times ahead❤️❤️".

And just weeks later she teased her own family TV show and it all began when one of her followers told her on Instagram that they want "Keeping Up With the Wards to start".

Dawn then cryptically replied and said, "Well you never know... Keep your eyes peeled."

Hmm. A Dawn Ward TV show would be entertaining.
