Nicole Sealey has insisted she isn't intimidated by Dawn Ward.
The 'Real Housewives of Cheshire' newcomer - who is married to retired footballer Joe Sealey and first appeared on the reality show's 11th series last month - dismissed the notion of "playground games" and she wouldn't back down in a row.
In an interview with Simon Gross for 'Get Gossy with Grossy', she said: "No she doesn't [intimidate me].
"If I think she is wrong I'd tell her to shut up, [I'm] not scared of her...
"I haven't got time for the playground games. If I don't like something I will tell them."
However, she also rubbished the idea of she and Dawn ending up in a "cat fight" because there is a mutual understanding between the pair.
She added: "Yes everyone says that, but I like Dawn, she respects me."
Nicole is still determined to forge her own path on the reality show, and she has no desire of emulating the 'Real Housewives' mainstay and her husband Ashley Ward.
She explained: "Not at all we are definitely our own people so just the original Nicole and Joe."
Meanwhile, she previously opened up on signing up for the reality show and admitted she initially turned down the offer.
She said: "Originally I definitely wasn't going to do it. Then I was contacted again, when in the midst of trying to buy Macclesfield Town.
"Speaking with my husband, we decided it may now be the right time and a good time to take the meeting. Then I got the call and I was in the show!
"Throughout your life, if things are constantly presenting themselves, then perhaps you are supposed to be doing them."
'The Real Housewives of Cheshire' airs Mondays at 9pm on ITVBe.
