The Real Housewives of Cheshire bosses have apparently been scrambling to find more stars to join after several stars quit the show.
Dawn Ward and Tanya Bardsley left the reality series in the last two years.
They weren't the only ones who walked away from the programme as Lauren Brown, Esther Dee, and Debbie Davies also departed.
According to The Sun, the ITVBe show's producers have been searching far and wide for more stars to fill in the gaps.
"It's a nightmare to lose so many people, especially such big characters like Tanya," an insider said.
"After Debbie quit bosses knew it was time to start hunting for new stars - they know they've got some huge personalities to replace so they're not looking for just anyone."
Mirror have contacted ITVBe for comment.
It was reported last year that Tanya left the popular series after six years because of a behind the scenes battle that has impacted her health and anxiety.
The 40-year-old was a main fixture on the show since it started, but has now made the tough decision to walk after she battled health and anxiety outside of the show.
The Sun reported that a source revealed that Tanya made up her mind.
"Tanya has been really struggling with her anxiety recently, it got bad over lockdown and she just really wants to concentrate on herself," the source said at the time.
“Her recent collapse really scared her and she knows she can’t continue juggling so many plates.

“She loves the show but it is really stressful at times and it just feels like the right time for her to walk away.”
Meanwhile, Dawn quit the series after the 12th season and took to social media to share the news.
"Having been on the real housewives of Cheshire for almost 7 years & 12 seasons, I’ve had the most incredible journey, not just me, but my whole family. It really has been amazing for us," she said in December 2020.
"Season 12 has now come to an end and filming has finished. It’s been difficult this season with the pandemic but the cast and our amazing production team have pulled it off again, it’s been fun!
"Everyone who knows me knows I’m all about my family, so I’ve decided that after 12 seasons on the show I would like to concentrate on projects with them."
