Glamorous clan led by fashion powerhouse Tessa poised to follow in footsteps of the Kardashians
THE Hartmanns are set to appear on a new ITV show and become Scotland’s first showbiz family.
Taking a leaf out of the Kardashians’ book, the clan – led by fashion powerhouse Tessa - are reportedly going to be front and centre of new ITVBe series The Real Housewives of Jersey.
And it’s going to be the biggest show set on the Channel Islands since 80s cop series Bergerac which starred John Nettles.
Tessa, 50, will be joined by her German film-maker husband Sascha, 40, and their daughters Tallia Storm, a rising pop singer, 21, Tessie, 23, a financier, and their sons Johnnie, who turns 16 at the end of the month, and Zach, 13.
While she won’t comment about being on the show, Tessa, who is based in Jersey but operates from her home city of Glasgow and London, is looking forward to their star turn.
Speaking about the show being filmed in Jersey, the woman behind the Scottish Fashion Awards and the Jersey Style Awards, said: “It’s a huge opportunity for the island – anything we can do to give a platform to this amazing place in terms of encouraging retail and tourism is a great opportunity.
“From an economic perspective I think it’s going to be huge.”
It will join The Real Housewives franchise which started in 2006 with The Real Housewives of Orange County and was joined in 2009 by The Real Housewives of New Jersey before moving across the pond for The Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2015. Other names in the frame for the latest Housewives spin-off include Superman Henry Cavill’s sister-in-law, Kiri Cavill as well as Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews’ older sister Nina Mackie.
But all eyes are sure to be on the glamorous Hartmanns, who will be essential viewing.
