Hanna Miraftab storms off The Real Housewives of Cheshire after being branded an 'a*** licker'

The reunion episode descended into rows and tears again as The Real Housewives of Cheshire series nine drew to a close, and dentist Hanna Miraftab ended up storming off the set.

After the women aired their differences at Manchester Hall, dentist Hanna declared that she'd had enough and left the others to argue it out.

Hanna, who joined the ITVBe reallty show in the eighth series last year, stormed off after being called an "a*** licker" by co-star Rachel Lugo over her friendship with Dawn Ward.

"Hanna is so terrified of falling out with Dawn. Her fr****n **** is red raw. You are an a*** licker," she raged.

Fashion designer Seema Malhotra recoiled in shock at the harsh words as Hanna gasped "wow."

As she rose to her feet reunion host Brian Dowling urged "Hanna just sit down."

But she'd already decided enough was enough and retorted "No, I'm gone" and was seen walking off the set at Manchester Hall on Bridge Street in dramatic scenes filmed earlier this month.

"We lost Hanna and I don't think we're going to get to the bottom of this ever," said Brian.

Moments later, after highlight clips were shown from over the past series, it was revealed that Seema had also walked off, leaving Ester Dee sitting on a couch alone.

During the reunion Hanna was also slammed by Tanya Bardsley for talking about her with her fiance Martin Kinsella, which Hanna strongly denied.

After the episode, which ended with Brian announcing that the show will be back for a 10th run, support came flooding in for Hanna on social media.

"Chin up buttercup, you have your wedding coming up, have a wonderful day and wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and success, take care," said one supporter on her Instagram.

"What a strong woman you are! Well done you!" said another.

"Don’t normally comment on people’s instagrams but I really wanted to let you know that from what I’ve seen you are such a lovely girl" said another.

"You’ve not come across nasty bitchy or unfriendly and like other people are saying you are a credit to yourself and have dealt with it with dignity."

Her fiance also praised: "You were fantastic and I’m so very proud of you."

And her future father-in-law said: "My wonderful daughter-in-law to be - the real class."

Sharing a photo of herself in her shimmering blue dress from the reunion, Hanna thanked everyone who has supported her.

"It's not easy watching someone you love having a rough time and I will be eternally grateful for their patience and kindness. Life is all about new experiences and perhaps pushing yourself out of your comfort zone," she said.

"I have learnt a lot along the way and can take away some valuable lessons. Thank you @officialrhoch for giving me an opportunity to be part of this journey. No regrets, no negativeness, just love."

Hanna has starred on the last two series of The Real Housewives of Cheshire while running her own private dental practice in St Helens, Kiln Lane Dental.

She recently paid the The Booth Centre charity in Manchester, which helps people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, a visit and delivered 100 bags filled with dental supplies for the centre visitors.

Speaking of her visit, Hanna said: “I’m grateful to find myself in a position where I can help out with charities and The Booth Centre is such a fantastic place with a brilliant team who work tirelessly to help people less fortunate.

"I hope that this may go a small way to help the people I’ve met here today.”

The Booth Centre development manager Amy Hinks, added: “We’re always grateful to have visitors such as Hanna to the Centre.

"It helps spread our message and raise awareness for our charity. We would like to extend our thanks to Hanna and her Kiln Lane team for donating the dental supplies which will no doubt come in very handy. We’ll look forward to welcoming her back again soon.”

Hanna had a tour around the centre with her fellow dentist Rachel Heaton where they met members of staff and visitors whilst learning how the charity works.
