The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley is on a mission to help others to find the love of their life after she 'visualised' her husband Phil and he sent her a text introducing himself.

Former glamour model Tanya says she found her perfect man by performing a ritual to attract former Manchester United player Phil.

"After I visualised Phil he texted me, saying 'my name is Phil Bardsley', on my Nokia 3310," she told us.

"I Googled him and he was gorgeous and played for Manchester United so I thought he would be a player."
