A LUXURY spa owned by former Elton WAG Jude Cissé opened on Monday.

Costing hundreds of thousands of pounds, the glamorous Rouge Et Noir, in Chester Road, Helsby, offers exclusive luxury products at affordable prices.

Lady of the manor of Frodsham, Jude, 33, a former hairdresser and wife of Premier League footballer Djibril, said: “I am really excited. I really wanted to do this and there’s nothing that offers what we do.

“I am always looking for the next challenge, I set myself a goal and I can’t stop until I achieve it. I have worked hard on this and I am really proud of it.”

Early in December, the spa will have an official VIP launch and Jude has already had confirmation from celebrity friends including ex-Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon, Saville Row taylor William Hunt, Hollyoaks actor Ricky Whittle as well as stars from Coronation Street.

The spa will be open Monday and Tuesday from 10am-5pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am-8pm, Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday 9am-3pm. For details, visit www.rougeetnoirspa.com
