Filming has begun on ZM's reality show Ladies of New Zealand, with tension already mounting between Mary Haddock-Staniland and 22-year-old Chantelle Baker.
Transgender contestant Haddock-Staniland revealed her feelings to the rest of the group when Baker went to the bathroom during dinner: "She is just ditzy... I'm going to really struggle."
Later, Haddock-Staniland left the table, telling producers: "I just need to have some time on my own. I'm getting very irritated. I'm getting irritated by her immaturity.
"Instead of sitting there and ripping her a new one, it's probably best that I just have five minutes away."
The group will spend the following week together, being filmed by ZM's cameras.
