ITV has confirmed that brand new series The Real Housewives of Jersey will launch on ITVBe over Christmas.

The new franchise comes after the success of The Real Housewives of Cheshire, which is now in its 12th series, and will follow a bunch of glamorous women living on the island of Jersey, just off the French coast.

The show is expected to premiere on ITVBe during Christmas week and as an additional treat, all 10 episodes of the first series will be made available for free on the ITV Hub on the same day.

"I'm thrilled to be welcoming to ITVBe and the ITV Hub an amazing cast of strong, aspirational women in the latest instalment of the successful Real Housewives franchise," said Paul Mortimer, ITV's head of digital channels.

"This time, the island of Jersey delivers the amazing backdrop for the real-life stories that will unfold over ten, wonderfully bingeable episodes. Grab the popcorn!"

ITV has also confirmed the names of the housewives taking part as HedI Green, Jane Rayner, Margaret Thompson, Kate Taylor, Tessa Hartmann, Mia Ledbury and Ashley Cairney.
