Real Housewives of London release date announced as explosive teaser drops
Hayu has officially announced the release date of its highly anticipated Real Housewives spin-off set in London, and fans won't have to wait much longer.
Production for The Real Housewives of London began in March, featuring six glamorous women joining the popular franchise.
The lineup includes Juliet Angus from Ladies of London, skincare entrepreneur Amanda Cronin, and Karen Loderick-Peace from The Real Housewives of Jersey.
They are joined by Australian-born Juliet Mayhew, socialite Panthea Parker, and Nessie Welschinger, known for her appearance on The Great British Bake Off.
Hayu has confirmed that the new series will premiere on Monday, August 18, with new episodes released weekly, reports OK!.
At the end of the series, beloved comedian Katherine Ryan will host a reunion with the entire cast.
What can viewers expect from The Real Housewives of London?
A newly released teaser showcases the cast engaging in heated arguments as they navigate life in the spotlight. The streaming service has also provided a glimpse into each star's storyline.
For Juliet Angus, Hayu hints: "Between launching her jewellery brand and celebrating 20 years with her husband, Gregor, she's got plenty to toast to... but fractured alliances threaten her hard-won confidence and leave her wondering who to trust.
"As she juggles being a mother and entrepreneur, Juliet struggles to rise above the drama especially when everyone keeps pulling her back into it."
Amanda is balancing love and business, with her skincare line thriving and a luxurious £20 million home to boast.
Her synopsis reveals: "With her skincare line booming and a £20 million designer abode to match, Amanda is reclaiming her narrative and opening herself up to the possibility of a new romance. But her past with Juliet Angus won't stay buried and her biting comebacks and brutal honesty aren't winning everyone over.
"From therapy breakthroughs to blowout fights, Amanda is learning to navigate vulnerability without losing her edge. But as accusations fly and old friends become new enemies, will she finally find peace or just more people to block?"
On the other hand, Karen is adjusting to life as her kids leave home. Hayu hints: "As her children fly the nest, Karen returns to London to finally pursue her dream of launching her own fashion label, Becuz. But re-establishing herself in the city's social scene proves challenging – with whispered rumours, shifting alliances, and loyalty constantly under scrutiny.
"Peace is hard to find when you're caught between clashing Housewives in a group that questions your every move. After experiencing a profound personal loss, Karen leans on her family for strength and begins to see clearly who's truly in her corner. With her status under pressure and her vulnerability often misunderstood, Karen is learning that sometimes, the only way to get clarity is to stir the pot."
Juliet Mayhew's journey is all about her singing career and the inevitable drama that comes with being a Housewife.
Her synopsis teases: "As her singing career makes a bold return and her business ventures expand, Juliet Mayhew finds herself at the centre of the group's gossip – and not always in a good way. Accusations of insincerity and social climbing swirl around her, but Juliet refuses to stay silent.
"With her friendships under fire and her authenticity questioned, Juliet leans on Nessie for support and sets her sights on a drama-free reinvention. But when old wounds are reopened, she's forced to ask: can you really start fresh when everyone else is still stuck in the past?"
Meanwhile, Panthea is gearing up to throw an extravagant birthday party. Hayu hints: "With her sights set on redefining what it means to be a modern mother, Panthea mixes Persian hospitality with party-girl unpredictability. She's trying to keep the peace, but her sharp tongue and unapologetic opinions keep her squarely in the line of fire.
"Accused of taking pleasure in spilling the tea, Panthea hits back with biting wit and some unabashed home truths. But with friendships on thin ice and a big birthday bash looming, she's ready to show London who's really in charge."
Lastly, Nessie will be in the limelight as she focuses on her new children's book, Dinosaur Cookbook.
Her synopsis reads: "As her children's cookbook climbs the charts and her events become can't-miss affairs, Nessie is embracing her role as the group's unshakeable heart.
"But playing peacemaker isn't easy when everyone's at war and this season, even she finds herself drawn into the drama. With health, heritage, integrity and honesty on her mind, Nessie's learning that even the most graceful woman has her limits... and sometimes you've got to raise your voice to be heard."

The Chase star's Anne Hegerty's relationship bombshell after wedding snub
Quiz queen Anne Hegerty opens up about her true thoughts on romance, why she could only watch parts of I'm A Celeb last year - and the campmate she jokes she has beef with There's nobody quite like Anne Hegerty. Quiz queen extraordinaire on The Chase since 2010, and the woman who entertained us in the jungle in 2018, the 67-year-old – who was diagnosed with autism in her mid-40s – is unapologetically her own woman. Here, the witty and wonderfully straight-talking TV star opens up to OK! about why she's not one bit interested in romance, having a bone to pick with her old jungle campmate Nick Knowles and the big ambition she's yet to tick off… Anne, what are you up to these days? I'm enjoying a little break from work. We finished filming the current series of The Chase in early April and we have tons of shows in the can. I'm not sure how long I have off just yet. It's a question of when we can get the studio and when we can get Bradley Walsh as he is, without doubt, the busiest man in showbiz. And it's nice as we all get on well away from the cameras. It wouldn't really work if we didn't. Will you be resting up then? Well, officially I live in Manchester so I'm going back there, which will be nice. There's a three-day quiz weekend happening up there. I fully intend to go to that. Don't you do enough quizzes in your day job? No, I feel like I've got to keep doing these quizzes. I was at a charity quiz last night and I logged my mileage. I was thinking, 'This is a training session. I'm going to tell my accountant – it is tax deductible!' I'm off to Scarborough soon for a photoshoot as I'm going to be in panto there this Christmas. I'm playing Fairy Rose in Beauty And The Beast. I don't feel much like a Fairy Rose, but I have plenty of time to get into character. What is people's biggest misconception of you? Oh, that I know everything about everything. You have no idea about how much stuff I do not know. At last night's quiz I was being auctioned off to the highest bidder in each round to raise money for the Paul Strank charity. The team that bought me for the sports' round, I felt like apologising in advance. I know nothing about sport. You're comfortable in your own company, aren't you? Yes I am. Even at showbiz events, I need to take time out if it's very noisy. I need to chill for a bit, alone. I know many people like that. People keep inviting me to things and I think, 'Are you lonely?' So many people have tons of friends and have to have them around all the time. Would you like someone special to share your life with? No, I really wouldn't. I used to, but I realised I was wanting to want it rather than genuinely wanting a romantic relationship. I don't even want pets. I've got pot plants and I mind when they die, but no, I'm very happy in my own company. I'm just fine. Do you keep in touch with your old I'm A Celebrity campmates? We've still got our WhatsApp group. It's not very active, but I did post on there recently. I saw in the papers that Nick Knowles had got married. I didn't get an invite, but I'm not bitter – much! I posted my congrats on the group and everyone else did the same. If I meet any of them out and about, it's always big catch-ups and hugs. Did you watch the last series of I'm A Celebrity? I watched bits of it. It's too stressful to watch much of it. The things that are upsetting about it aren't what you'd imagine. I found I was stressed, and little details got to me. Like, I didn't have a flat surface to put things on. How do I change my contact lenses? You're only allowed three pairs of knickers, so you feel like you're constantly washing knickers – and it's very hard to get them dry. Nick was amazing – he invented his own drying rack. Strictly is coming up. Would you ever… God no! My agent tried to get me to do it ages ago, but I couldn't even formulate the words to say, 'I think this is a bloody terrible idea.' I can't dance to save my life. When I'm in panto, you can make me sing a bit but, whatever you do, don't make me dance. Have everyone dance around me, like a maypole. Do you have any burning ambitions left? I would love to do a bit of acting. I'd love a chance to do a comedy role. I do love being funny. I recently filmed a cameo in a very low-budget horror movie. I mean, it's so low budget I've been offered a share in the profits. It's called Deadcast, about a couple of guys who do a podcast about the supernatural. They head off to Lincolnshire to interview people who've had spooky experiences, and end up getting more than they bargained for. Who do you play? I play a woman who saw a UFO, put it on the internet and got massively trolled and ended up becoming a recluse. There's a scene where they interview me in my garden and I'm showing them where I saw the UFO. I say, 'They've been with me my whole life. It doesn't matter where I go, they follow me.' And just at that precise moment, an ice cream van passes playing Teddy Bears' Picnic. It was a lot of fun.

Tim Minchin explains the ‘pretentious' reason he turned down hosting chat show
He might now have found success in comedy, music, television and theatre, but Tim Minchin admits that no one ever thought he was 'particularly talented'. The Australian creative, 49, was born in Northampton before his parents moved back to their home country, where he was raised in Perth, the most isolated city in the world. It was there that Tim initially pursued a career in the arts, studying contemporary music but as he admits, 'graduated without actually being able to read music'. Throughout his 20s, he wrote songs, played in bands, acted in plays, and composed for theatre, but struggled to get noticed. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Sarah, the couple moved to Melbourne, but it was still an uphill battle. 'I was 29 at that stage and really did think I wasn't very rock n roll or grunge or what people wanted and thought I'd just be a poor songwriter, but literally the next year everything changed,' he tells Metro on the day his latest album TimMinchinTimeMachine is released (the album is a curated anthology of previously unreleased material). 'It's only got more and more unbelievable with the things I've been able to do since. I was really struggling throughout my 20s to get any traction and couldn't get an agent or record deal,' he said. It was Tim's 2005 comedy show Darkside that saw him finally capture the attention of the right people. He went on to debut it at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he received the Perrier Comedy Award for best newcomer. In the two decades since, Tim hasn't taken anything for granted, working his ass off, continuing to release music, featuring on a range of comedy panel shows, appearing in Californication, Robin Hood and The Artful Dodger, composing the Groundhog Day musical, and writing and starring in the comedy drama Upright. But it was being asked to write the music and lyrics for Matilda the Musical that changed everything. After it debuted in 2010, the show won a record-breaking seven Laurence Olivier Awards and has since gone on to be awarded four Tony's. Its success allowed Tim to achieve financial stability and make calculated career moves – including turning down multiple offers to host his own talk show. Reflecting on the decisions that could have made him a regular fixture on our screens (and undoubtedly rake in millions), Tim said he doesn't regret the risk he took. 'Lots of channels approached and asked me, but that just happens once you reach a certain level and start selling out arenas, which I did. They all asked me and asked what show I wanted to make,' he recalled. 'I said I was an actor and wanted to make drama and they went 'yeah right'. I said I didn't want to be known as a talking head. I've been asked so much over the years to host documentaries or shows…and I kept saying I didn't want to be a presenter, I wanted to be an artist. 'I'm not a trained actor or trained in composition and it takes a lot of suspending my self-doubt to go 'I think if I hold the line there's a chance, I might get to be an artist, not a comedian/ presenter'.' Although Tim admitted that might sound 'pretentious', he was willing to take that gamble – and it paid off when he was offered Matilda. '[That show] made me financially secure so I could take risks, but it also made me believe I was a real composer and could actually make things that could land in culture and not just be a fleeting joke. I was glad I held off on taking the big bucks. And once you're on a late night show you get famous and aren't walking the streets anymore,' he added. Despite his string of successes, Tim admits that he 'never really had one of those big career dreams' to chase. That admittedly felt surprising to me, after watching him become one of our shared home city's most successful artists. Coming from a city on the literal end of the earth, it's commonplace for young people to dream about 'escaping' their mostly middle-class existences. It's just as encouraged for parents to send their children out into the world, too, with Tim and I both sharing stints in London, a rite of passage for many. Although he has taken plenty of gambles over the years, Tim describes our shared 'luck' as one of the reasons he's been able to push himself. 'Some people think that daddy got me a car or mummy paid my rent but there was none of that. They were like 'good luck and here's $500 towards your first car'. It's a very Australian thing. I knew if everything went to shit though I could go home and had somewhere to sleep and that is unbelievable privilege and luck.' In 2013 advice he gave to university graduates at a commencement speech in our home city made waves, currently having over 5.6 million views on YouTube and being the basis of his recent book, You Don't Have To Have A Dream. In the speech, he imparted nine life lessons with his trademark wit and humour, with one surprisingly poignant line including: 'Don't seek happiness. It's like an orgasm; if you think about it too much, it'll go away.' More than a decade on and having just completed a tour of the UK to mark 20 years since his career took off, I ask what advice he'd now give to himself at the same age. Being incredibly candid, he explains: 'It's hard to imagine what advice I'd give myself. I worked so hard because I never thought I had the right to be an artist. My folks didn't mind that I wanted to be a muso…but no-one was ever telling me I was special. 'No one ever thought I was particularly talented…I never got the roles in the school plays. I just thought I had to work hard. I wouldn't want to give myself any advice that lets young me know that it works out ok because I might not have put my head down. 'The central lesson in the speech was to just be really, really good at what's in front of you and dedicate yourself to that and let the future take hold. That was something I did intuitively and now I look back and understand it to be a way of thinking. Just stop f***ing worrying about the ladder and take the next step.' So, what's the next step for Tim, who has had a notably hectic schedule for years now? More Trending 'I've got the Australian version of the tour in November and between now and then I am going to try and make a start on a new stage musical I am really keen on, but I can't talk about what it is,' he teased. 'And then next year I really want to write a TV show I have an idea for. I have two or three stage musicals I have ideas for. Next year needs to be a writing year. Even though I love touring, I've done it a lot a last few years.' Whatever it is, it's likely it will be a worthwhile gamble… Tim Minchin's new album, TimMinchinTimeMachine is out now. The RSC's Matilda The Musical is currently playing in London and will concurrently tour the UK and Ireland from this Autumn. You Don't Have To Have A Dream is out now. Got a story?

Celebs Go Dating's Kerry Katona 'desperate' over new boyfriend amid 'tense moments'
EXCLUSIVE: Kerry Katona and new boyfriend Paolo Margaglione have been pictured together for the first time since going public - but a body language expert claims the pair look tense Kerry Katona may already be facing issues in her relationship with hunky new beau, Yorkshire-born fitness trainer Paolo Margaglione, after snaps of the pair in Ibiza seemed to show them in a tense exchange. The photos of the pair on the White Isle – their first couple's trip – confirmed their romance. But a source claims that, while they're totally 'smitten' with each other, Kerry, 44, is nervous about putting yet another relationship in the public eye – and, with Celebs Go Dating about to hit screens, it could already be causing issues between the lovebirds. 'Kerry is being very cautious with this romance,' they claim. 'She has been very wary about going public with Paolo and it impacting their relationship. She's been down the route of high-profile, public relationships before and she doesn't want anything to ruin things this time.' It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK 'really hard' before split from Patrick Kielty. Kerry and father-of-two Paolo, 33, are thought to have met during the new series of Celebs Go Dating, set to air next week. However, Kerry has remained resolutely tight-lipped on her new relationship. But with each high and low of her previous relationships played out in public, our source claims Kerry is worried to go down the same path as the past. 'Kerry's worries have caused some tense moments as she doesn't want any exterior drama getting in the way. But Paolo isn't overthinking it – he's just really happy to be with her. He doesn't see the problem and is telling her not to worry, they're great together and should just enjoy what they've got.' Body language expert Adrianne Carter believes that, while the couple appear loved-up in their holiday pictures, the body language they are displaying suggests there could well be some tension behind the scenes. "Kerry's body is angled towards Paolo's slightly, so she is interacting with him, but the top half of her body is leaning away – this is often a sign of disagreement – maybe they've had a bit of a row, or bust-up. 'He's holding her hand possessively and taking a more dominant position with the hands, while she looks like she's ready to disengage her hand,' explains Adrianne. 'The tilt of her head looks like she may be questioning or disputing something. There's a tenseness to both of their expressions that doesn't look relaxed.' However, our source maintains that the route of Kerry's stress could just be the strength of her feelings for Paolo and a strong desire, after so much heartache in the past, to make this work. 'Kerry loves being in love – she's trying to do this the right way. They're smitten with each other and can't believe they've found one another. They just don't want anything getting in the way.' The new couple have also had to face some outside pressure, having come under fire after Paolo's ex-girlfriend Jessica Smith publicly claimed he was dating her when he signed up for the show, alleging he was solely looking for fame with his TV stint. Our source adds that Kerry's loved ones also have concerns. 'Friends and family are worried she's jumping in a bit fast and should maybe take a break from men. But she's very happy and determined to make it work with Paolo,' they claim. But Kerry, who recently underwent a fourth boob job, and Paolo brushed off the claims and have remained together since filming for the show wrapped earlier this summer. Kerry was previously married to Brian McFadden, who she shares daughters Molly and Lilly with, before they split after two years of marriage in 2004. She went on to wed taxi driver Mark Croft, who she welcomed Heidi and Max with, before their split in 2010. And in 2014, she tied the knot with George Kay, the same year they welcomed daughter DJ. George passed away in 2019, two years after the couple split. Kerry then found love with Ryan Mahoney, who she'd met on a dating app. The personal trainer popped the question in 2020, but the pair never married and split last November. But our source claims Kerry has got her mojo back, thanks to Paolo. 'She feels like this is the real deal. It's a really big thing for her. Hopefully, this will be it now – no more turbulence.'
