Real Housewives of Cheshire star hints Love Island’s Jess and Dom could join the show to fill void after Ampika Pickston’s shock exit
The smitten couple are set to move in together in the county leading to speculation about a future on the show
REAL Housewives of Cheshire's Seema Malhotra would relish Love island favourites Jess Shears and Dominic Lever to join the ITVBe show.
The Forever Unique businesswoman thinks the addition of the pair, who are set to move in together in the county, would breathe new life into the programme which is now in its sixth series.
Seema told The Sun Online: "I love hearing about the latest celebs rumoured to join. I think it would bring a fun and fresh dynamic to the cast, so bring it on I say.
"They’re both big characters with strong personalities, so I think they’d have no problems with fitting in."
There's been lots of change in The Real Housewives world between the previous and current series.
Fan favourites Ampika Pickston and pregnant Missé Beqiri have departed, while Nermina Pieters-Mekic and Rachel Lugo have joined the cast.
Commenting on her friend Misse's pregnancy with boyfriend Jake Hall, Seema said: "I’ve been so busy that I’ve barely had chance to catch up with Missé, but as far as I know they’re both over the moon, happy and both Missé and baby are healthy.
"Missé knows she can call me for advice whenever she needs it. She’s a good friend, so I often share my words of wisdom."
Meanwhile fans can expect plenty of entertainment from the new additions.
"Nermina knows what she wants in life and brings her sass and ambition to the show, whilst Rachel is confident with a strong mind so she won’t hold back in saying it how it is," said Seema.

The designer is also sad to see Ampika leave, even though there tension between them in the last series.
She said: "As much as Ampika and I had our disagreements in the last series, she’s soft at heart, so I’ll miss her humour for sure."
While the show is full of glam and successful women, the cast members aren't competitive when the cameras aren't rolling, according to Seema.
"There’s a lot less pressure when the cameras are off, so there’s not as much drama as you think," she said. "We’re all busy women with hectic schedules, so there’s no time for jealousy. Life’s too short."
And that relaxed attitude extends to the other big reality show on ITVBe - Towie.
Bother programmes have returned to screens at the same time but there's no bad blood between them.
Seema explained: "Both casts often attend the same events and social gatherings, so it’s nice that we’ve all got to know each other. It’s a laugh whenever we meet up and there’s never any rivalry."
