You might have thought the Real Housewives of Cheshire drama was done and dusted for another series after lucky number 13 wrapped, but it looks as though the gloves are once again off for two of the show’s most famous faces.
Current housewife Rachel Lugo and former star Leanne Brown (series’ one to six) will be entering the ring for Celebrity Boxstar UK, a new reality TV concept coming to screens later this summer and culminating in a live boxing match taking place on the 2nd of October at Manchester’s AO Arena.
