Real Housewives' Tanya Bardsley lays bare struggles and says 'not for fainthearted'

star has compared her kids' hobbies to a "full time job", as she admits having three sons is "not for the faint hearted".

The 44-year-old still looked as glam as ever as she ferried her children around to their football runs, posing for photos as she watched her lads play football. Sharing a series of snaps on Saturday morning, Bardo looked stunning in navy leggings, a loose-fitting top and her "snuggly" Dryrobe coat.

The reality star had her hair slicked back in a chic pony, finishing off her look with pared back make up and statement sunnies. Looking every bit the soccer mom, Tanya shared photos of her youngest Ralphi, who is already following in the footsteps of his footballer dad .

She wrote: "The savage game of juggling football runs when you have 3 sons who play is not for the faint hearted and it’s a full time job! Today I watched my little ralphi foodies game and he scored two goals."

Tanya added: "I’m just happy didn’t have to listen to the trumpet. I need to give love to the @asanteapparelofficial dry robe coat it’s the snuggly softest coat ever, perfect for dice of pitched and on the English beaches this summer too. My sunglasses and leggings and t shirt are all from @asanteapparelofficial too."

The down-to-earth mum-of-four added the hashtags #greasyhair #dontcare to her post. Tanya has been married to Phil, 39, since 2014, and they live with their four children.

Gabriella, 23, is Tanya's daughter from a previous relationship, while Phil and Tanya have three boys together, Rocco, 15, Renz, 12, and Ralphi, five. The couple got married in 2014, in a lavish ceremony at Cheshire's Peckforton Castle.

With former footballer and Macclesfield assistant manager Phil as their dad, it's no surprise the lads are footy mad. And the family's new reality show The Bardsley Bunch looks at how the family live out their life in their glamorous six-bedroom home in the heart of Cheshire.

The family's incredible gaff even has a glass floor which looks down into a cinema and bar in the basement. Instead of a scripted reality show, The Bardsley Bunch is more of a fly-on-the-wall documentary style. The production team installed GoPro cameras throughout their home, with small mics on photo frames and in plant pots.

With the show first airing on April 16th, fans compared the family to the Kardashians, a similarity that is lost on Tanya. Speaking to magazine recently, the former glamour model laughed: "We’re more like the Clampetts who won the lottery.

"We’re just a really normal family who’s... a bit crazy! We get dressed up now and again but the rest of the time we’re a very regular family who live in a messy, chaotic house where everyone argues and everyone makes up."

Apart from a few planned scenes to give context or show a reaction, Tanya insists the rest is "just us living our lives". She added: mI’m hoping seeing Ralphi dressed in a Grinch outfit and smashing balls off a mirror makes other people feel really happy about their own lives."
