Heather Thomson has made several appearances on The Real Housewives of New York City since leaving the cast in 2015.
And the Yummie founder might be coming back in a more permanent capacity, after a slot was left open.
She recently revealed that she’s making a return to the Bravo reality series in the upcoming 13th season, after Dorinda Medley was fired last year, as she appeared on Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef.

The 50-year-old said: ‘There was a lot of buzz of me coming back and you know, I said, I think it was on stories, I did a video, you know that I’ll be back, I’ll be back. I’ll be back. I’ll be back. And I will. And I hold true to that.’
But it’s not quite clear to what extent she’ll be returning, whether she’ll be joining the cast again or making a cameo.
She added: ‘I, I have made a cameo on just about every season since I left the show. I’ve been off the show for six years, almost seven years. I haven’t been on the show, but I’ve made a cameo each and every time. And I like my relationship. And until that doesn’t feel good anymore, you know what I mean? Then I’ll continue to do it.’
Yontef prodded for a firmer confirmation, referencing a recent lunch she had with co-stars Ramona Singer, 64, and Luann de Lesseps, 55, as well as a photo of ‘the cast’ that featured her, posted by new cast member Eboni K Williams, 37.

Forbidden fruit: Thomson referenced the promo images of the main cast: ‘I don’t know that I’ll ever hold an Apple again. Does anyone hold apples anymore? Are they still, do they still at the beginning, hold the Apple. I don’t even think they do’
‘No, she, I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know,’ Thomson responded, to which the host countered: ‘That doesn’t that, you know that doesn’t tell us whether you’re back or not Heather?’
She teased: ‘Well, you know the answer to that question, you’re going to have to tune in. And wait and see.’

She appeared as a cast member on seasons five, six and seven, before departing in 2015 to focus on her business.
The CFDA Fashion Award nominee said on her podcast In My Head back in 2019: ‘I have new visions, new horizons. Never say never, but watching the show, I don’t feel like there’s any reason for me to go back to that.
Cutting ties: It comes after Dorinda Medley, 56, was fired from the show last August, after joining the cast back in 2015 with season seven
Bad season: She later told RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel, 50, on her podcast Just B that she ‘did not have a good season this year’
‘That’s not what I wanted for my life – to fight with Bethenny every day on television. If I ever went back to the show again, which I wouldn’t, but if I ever did, I’d probably even be better because I wouldn’t take it to heart.’

Medley added: ‘I was ready to go back, I was excited to go back, I was planning to back, and I thought I would have a great year. I wasn’t given that option. They’re calling it a pause, which I don’t really… for me, I’m an old-fashioned girl. If you’re not waitressing and getting paid, you’re not waitressing.’
