"Kerry’s private life is as dramatic as an episode of Real Housewives of Cheshire, so she’ll fit right in," a source told the publication. "She used to live in the area so there’s no reason why she couldn’t be part of the Cheshire set."

"The plan is a cameo with Kerry being seen there cooking on Christmas Day – but who knows where it may lead."

The publication also added that original cast member Ampika, who quit the show after five seasons will be returning to the ITVBe reality show in 2018 to rejoin the cast.

As previously reported, The Real Housewives of Cheshire has officially renewed for Season 7. It was announced during the reunion special for Season 6 that the network will bring back the sassy reality show for a seventh season in 2018.

Newcomer Nermina Pieters-Mekic also confirmed that the show will be back for a seventh season. although the ladies were remaining tight-lipped on the details. “We’ve had an amazing team that made this all happen. There will definitely be another series,” Nermina told Manchester Evening News.

The renewal came in no surprise after the series won the award for "Best Entertainment Programme" at the Royal Television Society Awards over the weekend.

ITVBe has yet to confirm the full line-up of Housewives for the new seasons. The last series ended this week, with the finale episode ending on Monday, November 13 followed with the infamous reunion special airing the next day on Tuesday, November 14.
