Islanders could soon be seeing their home, and some familiar local faces, on a well known TV show that is coming to Jersey.

Visit Jersey says it thinks the show's high profile could encourage younger people to visit the island.

The reality show franchise The Real Housewives has been bringing drama to our screens since 2006, first showing the highs and lows of the lives of women in California with The Real Housewives of Orange County.

With successful spin offs also filmed in New York, New Jersey, Beverly Hills and Atlanta, it has since arrived in the UK with The Real Housewives of Cheshire. Now the series, which is known for focusing on women with wealthy lifestyles, is arriving on local shores.

Filming is reportedly getting underway in the next week and The Real Housewives of Jersey is due to arrive on ITVBe later this year.
