The Real Housewives of Melbourne are back for a third season in 2016 and will premiere February 21.
Returning for season three are Chyka Keebaugh, Gamble Breaux, Gina Liano, Jackie Gillies, Janet Roach, Lydia Schiavello and Pettifleur Berenger.
This season they are joined by Melbourne socialite and country girl turned Toorak Housewife, Susie McLean.
This 11-part one hour soap-doc provides an insider view of the lifestyles of the wealthy and extravagant women with a revealing insight into their world.
With a backdrop of exotic settings and high-end events, nothing is off limits as the Housewives navigate love, family, marriage, fidelity, babies, health and friendship.
Popular family members are back including Chyka’s husband Bruce and children Chessie & BJ, Jackie’s husband Ben, Gamble’s new husband Rick, Lydia’s husband Andrew, and of course her pampered pooch Figaro.
Season three begins with flowing champagne and delicious treats as the Housewives catch up on all the gossip in recent months.
Jackie and Janet attend Chyka’s regular book club where they are introduced to Chyka’s good friend Susie.
Susie knows many of the Housewives very well; one of them perhaps not in a good way. Across town, Lydia and Pettifleur are also catching up and the hot topic of conversation is Gamble and her comments about Pettifleur’s book.
With ears burning Gamble and Rick are enjoying their new home while discussing their upcoming wedding.
Meanwhile Gina’s had to hire a personal assistant, Josh, to help with her many brand commitments.
By the time everyone catches up at Susie’s for a wholesome baking day, the temperature is soaring and not just in the kitchen. Pettifleur sums it up ‘it’s kill or be killed’.
The series has become an international hit and was the first franchise outside of the US to screen primetime on Bravo, as well as screening on ITVBe in the UK.
