Look, it's been literally months since we got any fresh Real Housewives of Cheshire episodes, and we'll be honest, we're getting desperate and clutching at straws for ANY show tea. Because aside from Lauren Simon revealing that series one OG Leanne Brown is making a comeback for the ten-year anniversary and us clocking it before the post was swiftly deleted, the ladies have been keeping series 18 secrets firmly under wraps – at least until last night when we think we detected another potential cast slip-up.
Once again, we must stress we haven't seen a new episode of Real Housewives of Cheshire since June, so we have no other choice but to scour the socials to get our fix from these fabulous ladies.
Anyway, we learned earlier this week that the cast were packing for their second girls' trip of the season and while they didn't reveal the location, we did gather that they're headed somewhere chilly and only staying for one night – so we're guessing it's some sort of filmed staycation.
Then we clocked an eye-raising post on Rachel Lugo's Instagram story; a snap of the Cheshire queen wearing a pink sash and a pair of heart-shaped glasses along with the caption, 'HEN WEEKEND.'
Now, as far as we can tell, the story was later removed from Rachel's story, which has left us wondering is this because the cast are celebrating newbie Eleanor Egar's hen party? After all, she only just got engaged to partner, Chris, in September 2024, so the timing filming-wise would make sense.
Naturally, we turned our attention to Eleanor's Instagram and all we could see were several snaps of her sporting stunning new blonde locks and one caption which read, 'You'll never guess who we're dressed up as tonight.'
No clue, but given it's been a few months since Eleanor got engaged and a Real Housewives of Cheshire hen party is prime content (in our well versed eyes), we're guessing this is what the ladies have been filming this week.
The operative word here is 'guessing' – on the whole, the cast has been pretty good at keeping this year's show secrets under wraps and it's worked because we are downright thirsty for new episodes to drop on ITVBe next month. For now, all we have is endless speculation to keep us going.
The cast of The Real Housewives of Cheshire started filming series 18 – the milestone, ten-year anniversary series – in December 2024, kicking things off with a lavish cast trip to Thailand. After a festive filming break, the cast returned to filming in and around Cheshire, and as things stand we've clocked fancy dress parties, dinner parties, a break-up and the return of series one OG, Leanne Brown.
