Here's a first look at the ladies which could be gracing our scenes...
Karen Loderick-Peace
Fans of the show will be familiar with Karen thanks to her appearance on the reality show The Real Housewives of Jersey. Born in Jamaica, she moved to the UK in her 20s. Karen studied at the London School of Fashion and is now a fashion designer. She is also the wife of former West Ham chairman Jeremy Peace, with whom she shares five luxury properties, and is a mother of three children.
She is currently preparing to launch her own fashion label, and she previously addressed her appearance on the Jersey spin-off of the Housewives franchise. 'Fashion is my passion, but talking straight is my best trait,' she said. 'I’m all for female empowerment and the Housewives brand is all about strong women standing their ground and proving their worth in busines.' Watch this space for what Karen will bring to the London series.
Nessie Welschinger
Nessie Welschinger is a London-native and is the founder of the Chelsea Cake Company, one of London's leading cake makers. She also founded Cookingwith Kids & Co, which boasts of high-profile customers including Queen Elizabeth II. And like Karen, she's no stranger to the TV screen. She appeared on Great British Bake Off: The Professionals after her work saw her make 'cakes and goodies for royalty and celebs all around the world'. Nessie's career actually began in investment banking, and has taken her skills to creating her own business. She's married to husband Remy, who she shares three children with.
Amanda Cronin
Amanda is a skincare entrepreneur, and CEO of the successful business Amanda Caroline Skincare which launched in 2022. Alongside her business accolades, she claims to have ‘the longest legs in Belgravia.' She also runs runs The Secret Door, an aesthetics and wellness clinic in Belgravia, and she has close ties to notable housewives Meredith Marks (The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City) and Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives New York City).
Amanda was married to 80s pop icon Andrew Ridgeley from Wham! until 2023. Speaking about the split in a 2023 interview with The Daily Mail, Amanda said: 'When the next Mr Right comes along, he will have the same set of values that I have. I’m quite traditional, a sweet, country girl. I’m also discerning and want to be around other people who understand what that means.’
The Sun reports that there's hope Amanda will 'divulge details of their whirlwind romance' on the show.
Panthea Parker
Born in Iran, Panthea moved to England when she was four and was one of the first names linked to the show last year. Panthea is a socialite who is well established on the London scene, and counts Jennifer Lopez as one of her pals. She's been on the Mayfair scene since the ‘90s where she was a regular at Annabel’s partying with A-listers, and has even rubbed shoulders with politicians. Sharing a picture of herself outside 10 Downing Street last year, Panthea wrote 'Not every housewife gets to waltz into 10 Downing Street and give the PM’s adviser an unsolicited TED Talk… but in the life of Panthea Parker, these things just happen!'
Panthea is married to prominent lawyer Ed Parker, and as a millionaire, she is sure to give viewers a glimpse into her lavish lifestyle on the show.
Juliet Angus
You might recognise Juliet, a stylist from the US who now lives in London, from her stint on the reality TV show Ladies of London which begun in 2014. The Chicago-native has been married to the businessman Gregor Angus since 2007, and they have two children together. In an interview with the wellness brand Lyma, Juliet spoke about juggling her busy family life and her career. A social media influencer, global brand partner, stylist, and former fashion publicist, she's built a reputation as a transatlantic tastemaker.
'Over the years I have been constantly reinventing myself, and that comes with its own pressures. Moving to London, having children, making new friends, starting a new career over and again - that within itself is a lot. You don’t go to school for a career in social media and consulting roles - no one taught me a class on it. I‘ve had to evolve in my career whilst also being a mom, a wife and living in a new city,' she said.
Juliet has a large social media following, with the posts giving fans glimpses into her jet set lifestyle. We can expect plenty more of this on the show!
Juliet Mayhew
According to online bios, Australian-native Juliet is an 'Event & Lifestyle Imaginator' and she is a a professional interior designer. She moved to the UK aged 12 and is married to 'Tiggy' with whom she shares two kids. Juliet has numerous exciting projects under her belt, including having designed an exclusive gym for a private members club in Mayfair.
Juliet was born and raised in Queensland, Australia, to parents who worked professionally in the global medical sector. Judging from her past achievements, she's no stranger to a challenge. In 2013, Juliet won the Miss Galaxy Universe Newcomer Crown after competing against 100+ of the fittest women in Europe. This involved months of intense fitness training, boot camps, and a ‘tough mudder’ with the Royal Marines.
