Leilani Dowding Opens Up About Joining The Real Housewives Of Cheshire!

Leilani Dowding is opening up about joining the tenth season of The Real Housewives of Cheshire and reveals what viewers can expect from her this season. "I am going to be very open about my life and my life with Billy," she told Manchester Evening News. "Obviously, drama – I am quite an opinionated person."

"I think my Page Three image is going to be shed and hopefully you will see the real me."

Dowding also reveals that she and her partner are fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. "Billy and I used to watch the Beverly Hills one – it is our little guilty pleasure," she said.

As to why she decided to join the series, the former Page 3 model said; "Billy is busy promoting his band's album so I am kind of stuck here by myself! I thought it would be fun meeting new people and doing something for myself."

Leilani also revealed that her partner Billy was very supportive about her joining the ITVBe hit reality series and admits we'll definitely be seeing him on the show.

"He is a very private person," she said about her partner. "If you go through the last 40 years of him being in the band, you won’t see much at all about his personal life."

"It was very kind of him to be okay with me opening up about very private and personal things between myself and Billy."

"He knows, with him being away, it is probably good for me to get stuck into something else and not idly sat at home waiting for him,"she told Manchester Evening News.

The couple moved back to the UK after living in Los Angeles for 15 years.

Dowding joins returning cast members Dawn Ward, Ester Dee, Hanna Miraftab, Perla Navia, Rachel Lugo, Seema Malhotra and Tanya Bardsley, as well as returning guests Christine McGuinness and Nermina Pieters-Mekic.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire Season 10 premieres on Monday, September 9 at 9:00pm on ITVBe!
