Among the housewives chosen for the series are Ampika Pickston, a hair salon owner from Hale Barns, Bowdon party organiser Lauren Simon and ex-WAG Dawn Ward, from Alderley Edge.
The “amazing characters”
ITV said the series would focus on “these amazing characters and their intertwining lives”.
It added: “In the extreme world of Cheshire’s rich and famous residents, life moves fast and each day has its dramas, ensuring every episode will be action packed and entertaining. All with the gorgeous backdrop of the lavish homes and the exclusive locations that these women live in.”
Members of the cast will be interviewed on ITVBe’s launch night, October 8.
