Seema admits she's "not interested" in taking sides in the on-going Dawn Ward and Leanne Brown's feud and explains her reasons why. The fashion designer turned reality star also shares her thoughts on new cast member Ester Dee and dishes on her new business venture and much more. Check it out below!
Hi Seema! It's been a stressful series, how have you coped with the drama?
It's easy because it's nothing to do with me. I can be very vocal if it involves me or my family, but when it doesn't involve me - I'm so busy in my life that I really don't care. I run a successful business, so I just stand back. I have enough day-to-day stresses in my life that I don't need any body else's. I'm not in a playground!
Has it been difficult not taking sides with Leanne and Dawn?
At the beginning it was a bit difficult, but then I just let them both know that it's not my battle. It's something them two need to sort out and I'm really not interested. They understand. It's not my thing, I don't work that way. There has been moments at dinner parties where it was awkward, but it's their battle and not mine.
Do you think they can salvage a friendship in the future?
I'd like to hope so, but if I'm honest I don't think that will happen.
How are you getting on with Ester?
Look, we are world's apart. My morals are not her morals - we're just two totally different people. She's very flamboyant, vivacious and an extrovert and that's just not me. You'll have to keep watching it, because as time goes on we do have our moments. Wait and see.
Would you like there to be more new housewives next series?
Listen, I don't know if they'll bring more, but if they do - game on!
Missé has been a guest housewife this series - have you missed her?
Personally, I've really missed Missé. We have so much in common and I love her because she speaks from her heart. She doesn't beat around the bush and what you see is what you get. I've missed her loads, but the time we've had together, I've enjoyed thoroughly.
There are rumors she's pregnant with Jake Hall's baby, have you heard?
I don't know if it's true but if it is she'll be an amazing mum and I'm sure he'll make an amazing father.
You are very business-minded, how did you end up on the show?
They asked me to join back in series one, because I knew the girls. I'd dressed a lot of them and we all went to similar events. The girls are everything my brand stands for; they're bold, they're strong and they're confident. Also, I wanted to show what I've achieved in my life. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I've worked really hard for it and if I can inspire other people, then why not?
How is your new business venture - Menagerie - going?
My main business is Forever Unique, but getting to do something completely different is brilliant. I've gone into business with Stacey [Forsey] and her background is that industry, but for me it's a learning curve. I've enjoyed every moment.
