The Real Housewives of London? Not quite, but Bravo is jumping across the pond to mingle with a new clique of women in Ladies of London.
Tonight is the start of a new show on Bravo called Ladies of London. This is another reality show full of drama that you will not want to miss. You can check out the preview in the video below.
The women in this show are rich and one woman shares that she has spent $30,000 in one day before. One of them is even a royal and others have some that are really good friends.
Some of the girls are not really from London which makes things harder for them. Money only gets you so far there and it is hard to fit in. They have to different cultures and this show will be a lot about how they find a way to make it work together. You can't buy your way into a group here.
Annabelle Neilson – who’s friends with Kate Moss and was the late Alexander McQueen‘s muse — and Caroline Stanbury – who is married to a wealthy financier — are born-and-bred Brits, but Caprice Bourret, Juliet Angus, Noelle Reno, Marissa Hermer and Julie Montagu are all American girls who jumped across the pond, and now call London their home.
All of the women are accomplished, beautiful, have impressive careers and run in a who’s who of social circles, but being crowned an “it” girl in London is not an easy task.
Meet The Ladies of London!

![]()
During last week's episode of RHOC, Heather Dubrow threw a Hoedown to celebrate breaking ground on her dream home. The Hoedown included a mechanical bull that several of the Housewives were excited to try, but when Tamra Judge took her turn, she didn’t hear Heather tell the operator,
“Turn that up.”As Tamra was waiting for the bull to start, Terry Dubrow asked Heather,
“You turned that way up?”She replied,
“Yes.” Tamra took a hard fall and Heather acted shocked.
“Are you ok?” Heather asks Tamra.
“That was too fast! Why did they do that so fast? Did they do that on purpose? Fire him. That’s not funny!”Tamra had to go to the ER to make sure she hadn’t broken her arm. Luckily, there was just a lot of soft tissue bruising, leaving her arm black and blue. Viewers were curious to hear Tamra’s reaction after she watched the episode and heard Heather tell the operator to turn the bull up. And Tamra tells us EXCLUSIVELY she was shocked.
“I had no idea Heather told the bull operator to ‘turn it up’ until I saw the footage,” Tamra EXCLUSIVELY tells us.
“What shocked me the most was to hear her say ‘he should be fired for turning it up.’ Say what? I’m still absorbing this info and quite frankly I have mixed emotions. Heather has text me to say she is sorry and she was just kidding. I guess we will deal with it at the reunion. She’s still my fancy pants.”Do you think Heather is sorry or just sorry she got caught?
