Film crew keeps up with the Ridges

Celebrity duo start shooting reality TV show

OUT TO LUNCH: A film crew captures Jaime, left, and Sally Ridge having lunch at SPQR in Ponsonby.

Filming for Sally and Jaime Ridge's reality TV show is believed to be underway as the pair were snapped with a film crew in Ponsonby today.

The celebrity mother and daughter duo were being filmed at swanky eatery SPQR on Ponsonby Rd with a group of girlfriends.

It's also suspected the pair may have been filming at boutique hotel Mollies, with Jaime tweeting: "Spending the day at Mollies Hotel. Makes work seem like a holiday #spoilt".

Although Sally and Jaime, 18, have not confirmed they are shooting the show, it is understood they will feature in a TV3 series similar to the E! Channel hit Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Media Works, which owns TV3, refused to confirm or deny the show would screen.  

"There is nothing imminent along these lines, but it's not our policy to comment on what is or isn't in development," a representative said in March.

Sally became a local celebrity after marrying former All Black and New Zealand Warriors player Matthew Ridge before she switched sporting codes and took up with former Black Cap Adam Parore.

The socialite is a former interior designer and owned failed underwear company James & August.

Model Jaime was involved with hockey rep Dwayne Rowsell, then left him in favour of All Black and New Zealand heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Bill Williams but the relationship did not last long.
