Mother-of-four Tanya, who is married to Burnely FC footballer Phil Bardsley, teamed up with Cheshire entrepreneur Stephanie Ledigo in launching the Tanya Bardo Boutique on Grove Street.

The 41-year-old, who announced she was stepping down from ITVBe show The Real Housewives in December after six years, is now planning events and store pop-ups across the country instead.

And the first event will be a Manifesting With Love - tapping into the power of love - at Manchester Hall on Bridge Street on Thursday April 7.

Announcing the news of the shop's closure on Facebook and Instagram she said: "We have some big news for you! ⁣

"As our lease on our lovely boutique is coming to an end, we’ll be closing our Wilmslow location on Thursday 24th March 2022. ⁣

"We’ve made some incredible memories in our little shop and now we’re so excited to be moving in a direction that allows us to be able to visit more of you, with some incredible events and beautiful store pop ups planned around the country! ⁣

"You can still order our beautiful products online tanyabardo.com⁣

"We’re so excited about this new journey and that we’ll be sharing it all with you all."

She added: "Thank you to everyone for all of your amazing support over the past five years, we can't wait to grow with you all."

In 2020 Tanya, who has three sons Rocco, Renz and Ralphi and a daughter Gabriella, launched the wellness hub after battling anxiety and post-natal depression.

The star, who has been open about her mental health struggles in the past, held workshops during the day and evenings hosted by her team of 'Bardo's Angels' which invited people to drop in and have a chat about what they'd like help and support with.

Her 'Bardo's Angels' include John Junior who has travelled up and down the country with their stuffed toy duck friend Charlie encouraging people to start a conversation.

John joined forces with Tanya and boutique manager Liz Clarke to create the wellness hub.

John said: "Tanya and Liz were the very first people to help me with my mental health awareness journey.

"Tanya is such a lovely lady, and we created the wellness hub together which we did zooms during lockdown to help people.

"Such a lovely lady and that shop will be missed!

"I used to go when felt down and Liz the manager always helped me feel better!

"I love Liz and Tanya, personal friends, and Gabriella supports us."
