Real Housewives of Cheshire bosses are clearly scrambling to find more stars to join after several stars – including Dawn Ward and Tanya Bardsley – quit the show

Real Housewives of Cheshire bosses appear to be scrambling to find more stars to join after several stars dropped out of the show.

Dawn Ward and Tanya Bardsley have been away from the reality series for the past two years.

They weren’t the only ones leaving the show as Lauren Brown, Esther Dee and Debbie Davies also left.

Based on SunThe producers of the ITVBe show searched a lot of stars to fill the void.

“It’s been a nightmare to lose so many people, especially big figures like Tanya,” said an insider.

“After Debbie quit, the bosses knew it was time to start hunting for new stars – they knew they had some big personalities to replace so they weren’t just looking for anyone.”

Mirror has contacted ITVBe for comment.

Last year, it was reported that Tanya had left the popular series after six years because the behind-the-scenes fight had affected her health and anxiety.

The 40-year-old player is the main character in the program since it started, but has now made the difficult decision to step away after she battles health and anxiety outside of the show.

The Sun reported which a source revealed that Tanya has decided.

“Tanya has been really struggling with her anxiety lately, it’s gotten worse during the lockdown and she just really wants to focus on herself,” the source said at the time.

“Her recent breakdown really scared her and she knew she couldn’t keep juggling so many discs.

Meanwhile, Dawn abandoned the series after its 12th season and took to social media to share the news.
