‘I’M NOT FRIENDS WITH THE HOUSEWIVES!’

On a quick trip Down Under, no-nonsense reality maven Bethenny Frankel, 47, spills on all the action from the 10th season of The Real Housewives Of New York City.

Will there be plenty of drama this season?

It feels like a decade-ending season – it’s nuts! We didn’t waste any time getting the drama started. There’s not a single lull in the entire season.

You have a tumultuous relationship with Ramona Singer – will we ever see you patch things up?

It’s in my bloodstream – the disdain I have for our oil and water relationship. I wish her well in all of her endeavours, but not everyone has to be best friends. In what land are seven women best friends?!

What would surprise your fans about you?

I’m a homebody! I love being in pyjamas. I’m very antisocial and feel socially awkward in crowds. I’m complicated and simple at the same time.

What’s your favourite thing about Australia?

The people, the food, the fashion and the attitude! Everyone here is cool and funny. Aussies have a good sense of humour!

Will you bring the Housewives with you when you come back to Oz?

Australia couldn’t handle the NYC Housewives! I can speak for myself and say I will be back again and again.
