The Real Housewives Of Jersey delighted viewers as it made its debut on ITVbe last night (December 28).
The new series follows the lives of seven housewives, including an ex-model, a property magnate and a natural health business owner.
But who is the richest housewife and what do their husbands actually do for a living?

The Real Housewives of Jersey: Margaret Thompson
Originally from Scotland, Margaret moved over to Jersey with her two dogs, Bella and Coco-Chanel.
The successful business woman previously set up Thompson Estates, which sells all the top properties on the island.
First, pick an exclusive area known as a playground for the rich and famous. Next, add a group of friends, all wealthy and impossibly glamorous women with fabulous homes. Finally, point a camera at them and let the tears, tantrums and fallouts commence. That s been the formula for the Real Housewives reality TV series, which will return to our screens later this month from Jersey the tiny tax haven 85 miles off the mainland UK. And on an island where everyone knows everybody s business, the show is already ruffling feathers. Here, TANITH CAREY lifts the lid on what s in store . . .
A VERY FRUITFUL FRANCHISE
