Real Housewives of Cheshire star Rachel Lugo has had a rollercoaster few years.

In 2019, her marriage to John Lugo ended after it came to light that he cheated, and in March she announced that she had split from her boyfriend Nick after two and a half years together.

Now, Rachel has spoken out about the overwhelming life stage she's about to enter - moving from her family home.

During a Q&A on Instagram, one of Rachel's fans asked her, "Are you having to sell your house?"

The reality star opened up and said, "Sadly yes. I thought this was going to be my forever home. I've been here nearly 20 years but it's not meant to be.

"I've tried to keep the children here as long as I could. It's a big place to run by myself - all the work that needs doing and financially.

"I've done it for over three years but I am being forced to sell it which is a shame... I'm going to miss it."

After another fan asked how clearing out her house is going, Rachel admitted, "Terrible. I'm in complete denial. I don't want to move and I've got 20 years' of stuff here.

"It's a lot. It's overwhelming, so I've been burying my head. Nicole [Sealey] offered to come round and help me but I don't think she understands the magnitude of it... It's not just the house, it's the stables, upstairs, temporary stables, it's shipping containers... I'm just hoping one day someone is going to say, 'I'll sort it for you.'"

The Housewife later hinted that she could leaving Cheshire (the area, not the show) one day.

"I could see myself moving away from Cheshire at one point. I don't know when but I've got a sister that lives in America, one in Gibraltar and one that lives in London. So apart from my children, I actually don't have any family around here, at all," she confessed.

"I live on the same road and the same village that my family has lived on for over 100 years, so I'm still here. I'm tied a little bit with Sienna's schooling but who knows? I need a crystal ball.

"Change might be good at some point."
