Real Housewives of Cheshire diehards don't need us to tell them that the cast of the ITVBe reality series have been teasing plans for next year's ten-year-anniversary series for months now. And while technically, the likes of Tanya Bardsley, Lauren Simon, Paige Chohan and Seema Malhotra have been spilling the tea, we've only got a few drops out of them.
While we are thankful, we have been without new RHOCheshire episodes for months now (they haven't been on our screens since June), and frankly, if we're not going to get a Cheshire fix anytime soon, we're going to need some more tea spillages. Substantial ones at that. Cue Rachel Lugo and her Instagram.
We can always rely on Rachel to give fans just enough goss to not get in trouble with ITVBe bigwigs and she's done it again. The popular Housewife took to her Instagram this week to share not one, but two posts revealing some of the new outfits she has purchased ahead of a lavish girls' holiday 'somewhere hot' to celebrate the start of the show's ten-year anniversary series.
Posing with various stylish looks purchased from Alderley Edge shopping hot-spot, OutDazl, Rachel told her 314K followers, 'I did say on one of my stories where we were going, I'm not sure I was allowed to, but it's going to be hot.'
If any Closer readers watched said Instagram story and clocked the girls' trip location, drop us a DM on Instagram. Saying that, we can all take a wild stab that it's going to be somewhere dreamy and lavish – even more so given it's the ten-year-anniversary trip.
But here's what we do know; thanks to Tanya Bardsley we know the girls begin filming series 18 again in January and now thanks to Rachel we know that all kicks off with a swanky girls trip somewhere 'hot'; although, we're wondering whether the filming schedule has been moved to November and December as Rachel is basically packed and ready to go.
We also know the girls' trip is on the coast somewhere, as Rachel mentioned dressing for the beach one or two times in her Instagram posts. She also revealed a stunning outfit that she plans to wear for 'dinner on the beach', which in our books means an infamous dinner party is on the cards for filming, too.
Reaching? Us? Yeah, well, this is what happens when we're deprived on Housewives content for months on end. At least next year, we'll also have The Real Housewives of London to obsess over, too.
Speaking of the milestone series at The Nation Television Awards in September 2024, Tanya revealed, 'We are due to start filming in January. It's going to be series 18 and we're going to be celebrating the ten-year anniversary as well.'
Lauren Simon continued, 'So, everything is happening. We are hopefully going on holiday, we're going to party. You might see some old faces, you're definitely going to see some new faces.'
'That’s just us with the botox and filler', Tanya added.
Even more Tanya this series, please, ITV big wigs.
