Natasha Hamilton has officially confirmed she's joining the cast of the Real Housewives of Cheshire. The Atomic Kitten star has been spotted filming with her fellow housewives but hadn't confirmed her role in the ITVBe series - until now.
She appeared on This Morning on Friday (March 10) to discuss her new role on the reality show as she joins the forthcoming series as a new regular alongside Lauren Simon, Seema Malhotra, Rachel Lugo, Hanna Kinsella, Nicole Sealey, Lystra Adams, Sheena Lynch and Katie Alex.
Natasha, who recently revealed she's pregnant with her fifth child, also shared the news on Instagram, writing: "She’s back b****es…." alongside her official RHOC promo shot in which she dazzled in floor-length green gown with her auburn locks in a curled half-up half-down style.

"And this time I’ll be the newest cast member to join @officialrhoch The Real Housewives Of Cheshire!" she continued to reveal. "It’s been an absolute whirlwind of a year for me - being a new mummy, new girl on the block and new music! 2023 really is giving me the most incredible energy and I’m loving every minute."
Natasha confirmed: "The new series will start on Monday March 20th, 9pm on ITVBE and also on @itvxofficial. So make sure you tune in for all the goss, drama, ups downs and absolute laughs we get up to," before concluding: "I can’t wait to continue this incredible adventure and for you guys to come along on what’s turning out to be an incredible year."
Atomic Kitten bandmate Liz McClarnon was among the first to respond to the post, writing: "They won’t know what’s hit ‘em." While Lystra showed her support to her new co-star, writing: "Yes welcome hun." And fans were also sharing their excitement.
@dalerbradley said: "Ah amazing!! This will deffo make me watch Cheshire! Can’t wait to see you on the screen." @dazxoxo replied; "Cannot wait to see my fave kitten on the show .

Appearing on This Morning to chat about joining the show, Natasha told Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary: "I just wanted to go in, take each person as the come and judge them on how they treated me, and see where the relationship goes from there. I've known Sheena for years and I know Seema, so it wasn't like I was going in cold. But it was a really interesting evening and there was a lot to take in."
She also appeared to tease that there may be a feud brewing as she admitted she only gets on with "most" of her new co-stars. "There was a lot of personalities flying at me, but it's been quite a few months now and I'm getting to know them and... most of them are lovely," she cheekily said.
Last month, the mum-of-four revealed she was pregnant with her first child with husband Charles Gay, and on This Morning, she revealed her pregnancy affected her initial meeting with the other Real Housewives stars.
"I was in my early stages of pregnancy. So that scene you’ve just watched, I was so ill! I just felt so sick. You’re meeting all these women, and I’m like, all I want to do is vomit on them," she joked. "I didn’t really want to [tell them I was pregnant]. [But] then everyone’s like, “Are you not having a drink?” And you get judged, you know!"
