Oh, you know they are going to bring the DRAMA.

The countdown is on until The Real Housewives of Auckland finally hits our screens next month – but we just couldn’t wait that long to get some goss!

Our celebrity insider Dominic Bowden sat down with two of the fabulous leading ladies, Louise Wallace and Angela Stone, for the scoop on what we can expect.

Louise spills, “This is going to be the most controversial program. I mean, people thought The Bachelor was controversial but oh my god, this is going to knock people sideways. It will be the watercooler story every week – every day!”

Joining Angela and Louise are RHOA castmates Julia Sloane, Gilda Kirkpatrick, Michelle Blanchard and Anne Batley Burton.

And don’t think that our Kiwi spin-off won’t hold its own against the American versions because our glam girls aren’t afraid to ruffle some feathers, says Louise.

“At any one time on the show there is somebody you’re not getting on with and somebody you think, ‘Oh my god, I never want to see that person again, I am sick to death of them,’ and then next week it’s probably been resolved and you think, ‘No, actually, it’s that person I don’t get along with!’” laughs mum-of-two veteran broadcaster Louise.

Joining Louise and Angela are socialite Gilda Kirkpatrick, author Julia Sloane, Champagne importer Anne Batley Burton and former Brit model Michelle Blanchard.

While it’s the women taking centre stage, expect a few men to appear including fashion stylist Angela’s new man, sweetly nicknamed ‘Captain Kirk’.

RHOA kicks off in August on Bravo.
