A LAWYER and soon-to-be cosmetics queen is the frontrunner to join the well-heeled ladies on The Real Housewives of Melbourne.

Venus Behbahani-Clark is tipped to take out the glamtastic race to fill one of the vacancies on the show.

It follows the departure of Susie McLean, who is now dating funny guy Mick Molloy, and Chyka Keebaugh from the cast of the drama-filled, guilty-pleasure show.

Venus Behbahani-Clark

Venus is married to entrepreneur James Clark.

Behbahani-Clark, a 32-year-old mother of two, is married to entrepreneur James Clark and based in Melbourne’s leafy eastern suburbs.

She turned heads at various Melbourne Fashion Festival events this week with her spectacular luxury accessories and high-end European fashion pieces.

But the glamorous, jetsetting Behbahani-Clark has plenty of competition from well-connected ladies.

Fashion identity Jane Azzaro, music industry identity Natalie Forsyth, Sonia Hill, image consultant Daria Lai and Barbara Licuria, wife of former Collingwood star Paul Licuria, are all very much in the mix as producers carefully plot the impact of new personalities and characters on the series.

The fourth series is set to start filming at the end of April. Foxtel declined to comment on cast chan ges.
