REAL HOUSEWIVES STAR TANYA BARDSLEY LANDS ITVBe REALITY SERIES

ITV have commissioned a new fly-on-the-wall reality series which will follow The Real Housewives star Tanya Bardsley and her family.

A source told The Mirror: "The family are really excited about the show, it'll show them in a completely new light. Phil has always said he would never do reality and briefly appeared on Housewives so they'll get to see the real Phil Bardo away from the pitch. Bosses at ITV are also mega excited about signing the family and fans will see more behind the scenes chaos."

The series will air on ITVBe and ITVX later this year. Meanwhile, ITV have secured a three-part series with access to Noel Edmonds and his New Zealand estate.

Noel's Haven (w/t) is set to air on ITV1 and ITVX later this year and will follow the former Deal Or No Deal presenter tending to his 11 hectare River Haven estate in New Zealand. The series has been dubbed ITV's answer to Prime Video's smash hit Clarkson's Farm.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Noel’s incredible — and very eccentric — life is going to make TV gold... For his part, Noel would like the world to know he hasn’t retired, and this chapter of his life is a new adventure. There was a feeding frenzy from production companies to secure the rights, and everyone knows this could be a huge comeback for Noel."

Elsewhere, ITV are to follow Homes Under The Hammer presenter Martin Roberts as he renovates a Welsh pub. Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Martin said: "So in the New Year, hopefully, Martin's pub rescue, brackets, Oops, I bought a pub! will be on your screens. We've been filming it all for the last three years, and it's a roller coaster, and it's an emotional, wonderful story."

More details will be announced in due course.
