Real Housewives star Tanya Bardsley mistaken for Cheryl Cole as she looks unrecognisable in glam snap

Tanya Bardsley was mistaken for Cheryl Cole as she posed for a glam snap.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star was pictured alongside celebrity psychic, Claire Stone.

Tanya, who quit the ITVBe show last year, looked sensational in a red knitted dress which she donned with a pair of knee-high boots.

The reality star and entrepreneur kept her brunette locks in waves with a full face of glam.

Claire got the colour memo as she donned a red floral dress which was adorned with a sequined panel.

The pair were advertising their upcoming event, Manifesting Love.

Tanya explained that the event, due to take place in April at Manchester Hall, is for anyone whether they're single, married, or just learning to self-love.

"It will be a night of learning and laughter and entertainment," she added.

But the fact that it was Tanya in the picture took some of her followers by surprise.

"I didn't realise it was Tanya in the picture, you look so different! I thought it was Cheryl," @joanneb_70 said.

@janedyer0406 commented: "Love you Tanya but didn’t recognise you."

"You were beautiful as you were Tanya. You didn’t need any work on your face. I thought I was looking at Cheryl Cole," @naughton1003 wrote.

@lhol77 echoed: "You look like Cheryl Cole."

But following the post, Tanya explained the surgery she had had done.

She said she had surgery on her eyebrows after they 'dropped' through years of botox and suffering from depression and anxiety.

The mum-of-four shared a frank Instagram post with an unfiltered photo of her new look.

And the reality star, who was last year diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) which can develop anxiety disorders, shared her transformation side-by-side with an old airbrushed photo.

As well as quitting botox - injections to relax the muscles in the face to smooth out lines and wrinkles - the mum-of-four has also given up alcohol and is drinking two litres of water a day.

But her previous post with Claire was still flooded with compliments.

@fairyfootsteps said: "Looking beautiful ladies."

"Tanya you look incredible," @kelle3812 wrote.

@jarvo2137 commented: "Wow you look incredible!!!"

"Your looking amazing@tanyabardsley7 so much happier," @mrssanj2u remarked.

In December Tanya announced that she was stepping down from the hit ITVBe reality show Real Housewives after six years after battling with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Tanya, one of the original cast of the ITVBe reality series, made the announcement that she was leaving during the reunion episode in a chat with host Brian Dowling.
