The Real Housewives of Cheshire

Rachel's trust in her husband John is dented when she discovers he has been living a secret life, while Dawn receives difficult family news.

It is Dawn's 45th birthday and Cheshire is in full-on party mode, but Rachel is reeling from the shock of John's secret yoga classes with Perla, and Tanya moves into a new house.

The fallout from Dawn's explosive birthday celebrations causes ruptures, Rachel questions her friendship with Ester, and Dawn and Perla face off during a feisty lunchtime encounter.

Rachel and Perla finally bury the hatchet, Hanna realises that an uneasy truce could be coming to an end and there be might trouble for Dawn and Tanya once more.

The division between Dawn, Rachel and Tanya grows wider as Hanna's intentions are questioned more and more, while Ester and Zdenka go in search of the perfect face.

Rachel and Dawn's friendship is on the rocks, Seema continues preparations for her dancing competition, and Ashley's mum and dad move into Warford Hall.

Dawn remains unrepentant about her outburst, but the women begin to wonder if her behaviour is symptomatic of deeper problems. Ester invites the gang on a city break to Palma.

Ester's last attempt to unite the girls in Palma is scuppered by a surprise visit from Christine that threatens to cause even deeper divisions, while Tanya's struggles continue.

Rachel recovers from her operation, Ester's best intentions raise eyebrows, while Seema's revelations spell trouble for Tanya and Perla.

Seema's charity dance competition gets under way, but tensions between Dawn and Rachel run high once more, while Tanya finds herself torn between Perla and Seema.
