Stunning millionaire socialite who rubs shoulders with J-Lo set to sign for Real Housewives of London amid cast crisis
A STUNNING socialite who counts Jennifer Lopez as one of her pals is set to appear on The Real Housewives of London.
It was revealed last year that the UK’s capital city would be getting it’s very own version of the popular Housewives franchise – with a plethora of A-list names originally mooted to appear.
However, the show was soon hit with a casting crisis with many women fearful to sign on the dotted line for the all-exposing show.
But now The Sun can reveal the first Housewife who looks set to appear on the show.
Millionaire socialite Panthea Parker is expected to sign up for the show in order to show off her jet-setting glamorous lifestyle.
Panthea becomes the first name to be heavily linked to the show which is expected to air exclusively on streaming service Hayu this year.
She already proudly declares herself as a housewife in a slew of captions on her Instagram account which features a tonne of snaps from her luxury life.
Snaps from her Instagram reveal her enjoying life aboard a private jet and enjoying swanky parties at Mansion House.
Panthea has even visited 10 Downing Street and rubbed shoulders with politics‘ elite.
Writing on Instagram earlier this year alongside a snap of her at the famous house, Panthea said: “Not every housewife gets to waltz into 10 Downing Street and give the PM’s adviser an unsolicited TED Talk… but in the life of Panthea Parker, these things just happen!
“Beyond blessed—but honestly, if I wasn’t a housewife,etc., I really should’ve stuck with A-level politics.
“By now, I’d either be running the country or banned from Westminster!”
She’s even hung out with J.Lo when the On The Floor singer was booked to be the guest at one of Panthea’s pals weddings.
News of Panthea’s signing comes after the show was understood to be hit by a casting crisis.
Producers wanted to feature glamorous businesswomen rather than glitzy celebrities in the new London series but were initially met by some rejection.
A source told the Daily Mail: “They’re looking for businesswomen rather than celebs, not going down the WAG or celeb route.
“It’s not working as no one wants to do it.”
Last summer, stars such as Neighbours actor Holly Valance, fashion entrepreneur Trinny Woodall and Selling Sunset’s Chelsea Lazkani all apparently declined the opportunity due to other work commitments.
The Sun has contacted Hayu for comment.
