The RHOC fitness guru teased Lydia's return to the show during a recent appearance on Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald. "I'd have to say she's not gonna disappoint this year. She did a damn good job," Tamra told Heather. "I want to say Jesus gave her a voice, and she's using it."


Just watch the above exclusive sneak peek of the new season of RHOC, and you'll see exactly what Tamra means. Let's just say that Lydia and Shannon Beador do not get off to a great start. 

Tamra also shared that she has kept in touch with Lydia since her last appearance on RHOC in Season 8. "I love Lydia. I think Lydia is a sweet girl," she said. "Doug is an amazing husband, father, all that." 

Lydia's return isn't the only thing that has us super excited for Season 12 of RHOC. See what else you can expect, below.
