The Real Housewives of Jersey is coming to ITVBe later this year

ITVBe has confirmed that The Real Housewives of Jersey will launch later this year.

ITV has confirmed the new franchise based on the Channel Island of Jersey after the success of The Real Housewives of Cheshire.

Filming started this month and the series is set to start on TV later in 2020, the channel said.

ITVBe tease: “The Real Housewives of Jersey will see some of the island’s most fabulous Housewives embrace all the island has to offer – from tranquil beaches, to the most glamourous parties.

“The series will give viewers a unique insight into the lifestyles of Jersey’s biggest characters and promises to bring fun, laughter and, of course, plenty of glitz.”

Cast has yet to be confirmed but it’s rumoured to include singer-songwriter Tallia Storm.

Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions ITV, said: “Having become one of ITVBe’s biggest hits, The Real Housewives of Cheshire will soon have a sister show under the ITVBe umbrella.

“The Real Housewives of Jersey promises an equally fabulous cast in another aspirational location. We’re thrilled to welcome these ladies into the ITVBe family and know our audience will look forward to getting to know each of them over the course of their debut series.”

Mike Swindells, Executive Producer at programme makers Monkey, added: “Everyone at Monkey is incredibly excited to build on the Housewives franchise and bring The Real Housewives of Jersey to ITVBe.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to introduce the world to brand new Housewives and to see how their lives unfold in one of the most unique locations in the UK. We can’t wait to experience all the island has to offer!”

The Real Housewives of Jersey is set to launch later in the year with a premier on the ITV Hub and will run weekly on ITVBe.

Outside the UK the series will be known as The Real Housewives of Jersey, UK.
