The show has yet to air, but Katherine Ryan is already set to be a major part of the Real Housewives of London. The Canadian comedian – who’s made London her home – will not be one of the Housewives: rather, it's been announced that she will host the last episode, getting the stars to spill the tea on all those all-important questions about the series and dish the goss.
‘Pinch me and tell me this is real! Hosting The Real Housewives of London reunion show is a dream opportunity for me – and I’m honoured to be trusted to represent the fans and to bring a female perspective to analysing all the emotions, arguments, twists and revelations!’ she said.
Former fashion publicist and stylist Juliet Angus, model-turned-beauty entrepreneur Amanda Cronin, former Real Housewives of Jersey’s Karen Loderick-Peace, events planner Juliet Mayhew, socialite Panthea Parker and City-trader-turned-baker Nessie Welschinger will star in The Real Housewives of London, which started production in March and will debut on Hayu later this year.
Katherine added, ‘As a mega-fan of The Real Housewives franchise – and of Hayu – I can’t wait to get Juliet, Amanda, Karen, Juliet, Panthea and Nessie into the hot seats at the end of the season.’
The Real Housewives of London is Hayu’s first-ever commission of an original series, and while few details have emerged about it, we do know that it’s about these six glamorous, dynamic and successful socialites showcasing the luxury of living in the UK’s iconic capital.
‘Whether hosting lavish dinners, escaping to a Scottish castle, or rebuilding bonds over bottles of champagne – they’re all navigating life, legacy and loyalty. With big personalities, deep histories, and no shortage of designer drama, the path to connection is never simple – but it’s always captivating. London’s calling... and these six ladies have answered.’
We can't wait!
