Paige Chohan opens up about how embracing Islam gave her clarity and direction while living in Cheshire and starring on Real Housewives

For Real Housewives of Cheshire star Paige Chohan, life hasn’t always been glitz, glamour, and drama.

Behind the scenes of her reality TV journey lies a deeply personal story of spiritual discovery, one that she’s now ready to share with the world.

At 33, Paige is entering her third season on the ITVBe hit show, and this time, she’s bringing more than just luxury living to our screens—she’s bringing her faith.


From Questioning to Clarity: Paige’s Spiritual Journey

Raised in a Church of England household, Paige didn’t grow up in a strictly religious environment.

Her parents weren’t overly rigid about faith, and she recalls being given the freedom to question and explore.

That freedom, she says, became a gift.

“I just remember thinking, there must be more to life,” she shared in an interview with new! Magazine.

At just 17, Paige started to study different religions—Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism—until she found herself deeply connected to Islam.

“It wasn’t something that happened overnight,” she explained. “It was a process.

I was able to go on such a journey at a young age, and Islam gave me this sense of clarity and purpose that I didn’t even realize I was missing.”


Why Paige Is Opening Up on Screen

Although she’s shared some of her personal growth with close family and friends, Paige says her decision to be open about her faith on RHOC came from a desire to help others.

“It’s such a big part of my life, and I want to show that. People often just see the glam and the fashion on the show—but this is who I really am,” she said.

“Islam saved my life. It gave me direction, especially at a time when I felt really lost.”

Her hope is that sharing her journey will help viewers feel a deeper connection to her—and maybe even encourage some to explore their own beliefs more freely.


Motherhood Reinforced Her Faith

Becoming a mother to her now 13-month-old daughter, Nora, has only strengthened Paige’s commitment to her faith. Life, she says, shifted in the most powerful way.

“When it was just me, I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. But now, it’s not about me anymore.

It’s about being the best version of myself for my child, my husband, and my family,” she reflected.

That inner change has been something she’s carried proudly on the show, alongside her husband Amir, 36, a successful entrepreneur.


RHOC Continues to Thrive—and So Does Paige

The Real Housewives of Cheshire, which first hit screens in 2015, continues to be one of ITVBe’s most popular reality shows, second only to The Only Way Is Essex.

The cast has evolved over the years, but the glam factor—and the drama—never really faded.

Now, Paige stands out not only for her chic style and luxe lifestyle, but for her willingness to be vulnerable on national TV. While some stars shy away from talking religion, Paige believes being true to herself is far more powerful.


The London Spin-Off Struggles to Find Its Stars

Meanwhile, there’s been buzz about a new London-based Real Housewives series in the works.

Announced by streaming platform Hayu back in October 2024, the aim was to replicate the success of U.S. hits like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Atlanta.

Producers originally hoped to spotlight ambitious businesswomen over traditional celebrities or WAGs.

But apparently, casting isn’t going as planned.

“They’ve been trying since last summer,” a source revealed. “But no one’s biting.

They’ve reached out to so many people and keep asking if anyone knows someone who’d be right for it.”

Names like Holly Valance, Trinny Woodall, and Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani were floated around, but all reportedly declined due to prior commitments.

Socialite Fran Cutler has teased a possible interest, though nothing is confirmed yet.


What’s Next for Paige?

While the London show struggles to find its feet, Paige Chohan is thriving—both onscreen and off.

Between juggling life as a mum, being a devoted wife, and living her truth, she’s proving that reality TV can be about more than just designer handbags and dinner parties.

With her spiritual journey unfolding before the cameras, Paige is reminding viewers that the most powerful stories often come from the heart.
