Filming on the 11th series of The Real Housewives of Cheshire has been shelved following the coronavirus outbreak.

The reality TV show show, which follows the lives of a group of glam and wealthy ladies living in Cheshire, was expected to return to our screens in the spring, but the transmission date is now looking uncertain.

Housewives star Tanya Bardsley has opened up about uncertainty now surrounding the latest series in a video chat posted on Instagram.

Speaking with her friends Liz Clarke and Stephanie Ledigo on their Two Blondes In A Bunker chat series launched amid the outbreak Tanya said: "We have suspended filming at the moment.

"It's because of this bloody corona."

Asked if it will still be on our screens as expected this spring she replied: "I think so, I'm hoping so."

Liz, the manager of Tanya's boutique in Wilmslow which has now closed its doors because of the outbreak, told her: "Yeah people want it, they need it."

Tanya announced that her boutique had closed its doors until further notice to ensure the wellbeing of her team.

But they will still be operating an online service.

The video chat was filmed as Tanya and her team gathered Mother's Day gifts being delivered in time for this Sunday.

"I just don't know what to do, we've no schools," said mother-of-four Tanya who has three young sons Rocco, Renz and Ralphi with her footballer husband Phil.

Tanya, who has starred in the ITVBe show since it launched in 2015, jokingly called her husband 'Bleach Bardo' as she told her pals that he's been busy cleaning the house.

And asked for her tips on coping with the pandemic she joked: "I've given up drinking so I just don't know what I'm going to do.

In the 11th series the ladies will be joined by new Housewife Nicole Sealey, the daughter-in-law of the late Manchester United goalkeeper Les Sealey.

Nicole and her husband Joe, who became a sports agent representing a host of big names in football and boxing, jointly established the health and fitness business Neon with gyms in Alderley Edge and Hale and the couple are parents to two daughters and son.

On the Real Housewives she's joined Dawn Ward, Ester Dee, Hanna Kinsella, Rachel Lugo, Seema Malhotra, Tanya Bardsley, guest star Christine McGuinness and one of the original Housewives Lauren Simon, who is returning to the show after leaving the cast in 2018.

The ladies have already jetted to Athens for filming together.
