Marbella Belles On ITV1
They’re bold, bronzed and bleached to their roots. Meet five British women who’ve turned their backs on the UK for the sun-kissed stretches of the Costa del Sol.
Marbella Belles – a new six part documentary series for ITV1 with narration from Dennis Waterman – gives a glimpse of life in that little bit of Spain that will be forever England.
All five women have different lives, but share one thing in common. They have escaped the high streets of Essex, London and Leeds to re-establish themselves along the rich golden mile in luxury resorts Marbella and Puerto Banus.
Among them is lady of leisure, Lisa Johnson, who has a one-year-old boy called Blue. Retirement has come early for the high maintenance Essex girl thanks to her husband’s hefty bank balance and round the clock help from maid, Lin-Lin. Lin-Lin sees to the less glamorous aspects of motherhood like changing Blue’s nappy and feeding him while 38–year–old Lisa keeps up to speed with her rigourous beauty schedule.
Louise Marriot owns the beauty salon that Lisa spends a lot of her time in – Posh – which stands for ‘P****d Off, Stressed & Hormonal’. Louise upped sticks and left Buckinghamshire for Marbella with her three children after a string of failed marriages and is now embarking on her second salon, 2 Posh, and a new romance with a very wealthy ex pat called Jeff.
With such wealth and exuberance it’s vital the belles look their best and Louise Truelove, or Truelove as she’s known, focuses her time on the more permanent side of cosmetic enhancement, as a patient co-ordinator for an exclusive plastic surgery clinic. Truelove moved to Spain after the love of her life left her for “a 53-year-old grandmother.”
Party girl Jo Alexandrou arrived in Spain six years ago for a holiday and ended up staying for good becoming a fixture on the Puerto Banus party circuit.
Reflecting on her first year on the Costa, Jo says: “We’ve got High Society magazine out here, like the Spanish ‘OK’ or ‘Hello’, and I was in it every month partying!”
And last but by no means least is Barbara Fawcett or ‘Barbs’, who arrived in Spain two years ago and owns posh café Madhatters, which serves up the best traditional English food. Barbs has never married and believes she will find her Mr Right on the Costa.
Marbella Belles provides a snapshot insight into what it’s like living the high life in the posh town of Puerto Banus, where designer shops and celebrity hideouts line every street and being preened and beautifully turned out is essential.
The women are determined to bag themselves a man with a loaded wallet. It’s a place to see and be seen – where a bad hairdo or a chipped nail is a cardinal sin!
They’ve run to the sun to better their lives but is life on the Costa all they thought it would be?
This series will air on Tuesday 20th March on ITV1

Nope !
There’s simply nought to be envious about mad Marriot.
Just be sympathetic for her.
She steals, lies and cheats from so many good folk.
Just ask her former neighbours near Aloa about her debts, her theft of goods, her many many unpaid bills, her foul language, her crazed and noisy fights with “men friends” in the wee small hours. Her madness.
Louise girl, it’s all downhill for you dear louse!
Not to mention the drink driving ban!!
Hello to all! We live in Holland and we don’t have itv here. We would love to watch the episodes though. Is there anybody that knows where we can download them?
Thank you,
JP and Julie
Mr Aviator think we need to have a chat you and me face to face !!

Geoff why try and take your frustration out on here. Remember it wasnt us that made ourselves out to be slags and money grabbers on national TV.
Wayne it was not us either who controlled the filming ITV delibratly misled 4 of the 5 girls the 5th one, I am sure you can guess who! new what was going on.Louise is not doing porn movies she has opened her new salon now.
The show has been off air for alomost 8 months or more,
i cnt beleve ppl are still talking about it…
what are all you people talking about. this is possibly the funniest show on earth. “dad, bark like a dog. go on” thats what i call good quality television.
well yaz can all say what yaz want but i thought the show was really good and they should make another series..
yeah but you lot dont know what the marriott is all about. I had years of hell that she put me through. Geoff wake up and she her for what she is!!
i watched a couple of episodes of marbelle belles last year and again briefly this year., but only because a couple of times i spotted an old friend in one of the scenes with the lady who owned the beauty salon.Her name is Jenny she is married to Roger, had a son Tom and a daughter { i have forgotten her married name} she used to live here on the ISLE OF WIGHT we lost touch when she remarried and moved away i would love her to get in touch with me so if any one reads this and knows her please tell her i’m looking for her.
After following the series, marbella belles, with a friend of mine. We so wanted to see marbella and pueto banus for our selves. since then i have been back twice. Its not as classie as they made out and we showed peuto banus what a classie big girl is like. the girl with the salon wants to get a grip of here self. she insuleded bigger women. can i just tell you. real women of all shapes and sizes in peuto banus. i am a fuller woman and i had a ball with all of my trips there, dont let the them put you off. but we need more marbella belles. I have tried to find mad hatters for a tastie breckie with a hangover, posh 2 was no were to be seen. if itv ever wanted a day and a life of a single woman in marbella. i am sure buisness women like myself could give them life and soul entertament.
Well Geoff,
Had enough of miss rough ?
It’s surely time to waken up to REALITY fella.
Get a life, and move on.
Posh 2 will find another poor bloke to SCREW.. not only you.
