Pretty in pink!

-

THE Real Housewives Of Cheshire ladies were looking blooming lovely as they suppored Rachel Lugo at a charity lunch. Rachel’s reality TV co-stars Ester Dee, Nermina Pieters-Mekic, Stacey Forsey and Tanya Bardsley looked radiant at the Pink Ribbon Ladies Lunch on the hottest April day in 70 years.

Mother of five Rachel looked stunning in a vibrant hot pink cutaway-at-the-shoulder detail dress, and singer Nermina – married to footballer Erik Pieters who plays for Stoke City and the Dutch national team – wowed in an off-the-shoulder fuschia number.

She teamed her dress with eyecatchin­g red and pink studded heels and large hoop earrings.

Artist Stacey embraced the spring sunshine in a pretty floral bell-sleeved dress as she posed against a gorgeous backdrop of pink and peach flowers.

Vivacious Ester turned heads in a striped figure-hugging, plunging jumpsuit, and boutique owner Tanya looked chic in a claret-coloured dress.

The stars of the Real Housewives, which follows the lives of the rich and famous in Cheshire, looked like they were having a great time as they larked about and pulled faces for the cameras as they arrived at Gusto Restaurant in Alderley Edge. And taking to her Instagram page, property entreprene­ur Rachel thanked her friends for attending the lunch, in aid of Breast Cancer Now, which she revealed was for a cause close to her heart.

She said on her Instagram: “Amazing day with these gorgeous girls at the Pink Ribbon lunch for @breastcanc­ernow.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me today.

“I hope my mum is looking down on me and is proud of me today.

“My aim is to make sure nobody else loses their special ones to breast cancer to save them from the heartache I and so many others have gone through.”

Rachel and her identical twin sister Katie have recently been thanking fans for their outpouring of support after Katie revealed her skin cancer battle on the seventh series of the ITVBe show.

Katie, who has appeared as a guest star on the show, was in tears as she revealed to property entreprene­ur Dawn Ward that the cancer has returned.

She has bravely shown how her skin cancer first started as a small mark on her face, and later she appeared alongside Rachel on the ITV1 chat show Loose Women to raise awareness and help others.
