A NEW cast member will be joining the Real Housewives of Cheshire when it returns for its new series next month.

Sheena Lynch, who lives in Wirral and runs a bar with her husband in Knutsford, will be joining returning housewives Lystra Adams, Rachel Lugo, Debbie Davies, Nicole Sealey, Seema Malhotra, Tanya Bardsley, Hanna Kinsella and Lauren Simon.

Posting on her Instagram page - @officialmrslynch - Sheena said: "Yes it's true guys, I'm so happy to finally be able to tell you the new series of The Real Housewives of Cheshire @officialrhochstarts 11th October on @itbe featuring ya girl! Little old me!!!! Would love you to join me for the ride of my life."

Sheena is married to former Boyzone band member Shane Lynch, and they recently opened Irish bar D13 in King Street, Knutsford, with business partner Nathan Gerhold.

It is named after the Dublin postcode where Shane grew up. 

Shane describes D13 as a 'magical tour through Ireland' with 'old Ireland' up front, 'magical Ireland' in the middle and 'new Ireland' on the terrace and described the venue as a 'little gem'.
