Ariana Madix has encouraged the new cast of 'Vanderpump Rules' to "forge their own path".

Lisa Vanderpump recently insisted that the all-new cast aren't trying to compete with the original stars of the show, and Ariana has now urged the new cast members to "do their own thing".

Reacting to Lisa's comments, Ariana told Us Weekly: "That’s great. I completely understand [why] and I also think that it’s encouraging for new cast members to hear that. Because I think that it will encourage them to forge their own path and do their own thing."

Ariana, 39, hopes the new cast members are their authentic selves on screen.

She said: "I think that’s what’s going to make that show successful, and that’s what’s going to make the audience really connect with them as well."

Earlier this month, Lisa teased that 'Vanderpump Rules' will return with a "different energy".

The reality star provided an insight into what fans can expect from season 12 of the show.

The 64-year-old TV star told E! News: "I think everything we do is going to have a different energy to it.

"Not gonna try and compete with the old 'Vanderpump Rules'. It's just gonna be totally different there.

"Still, we'll go back to the premise of the complications of running a restaurant and the staff in it. And that always has a story to tell."

Lisa had a "wonderful experience" filming with the show's original cast. But she recognises that now is the perfect time to make a change.

She said: "It was time to do something different. Stories were kind of closing up a little bit. I think people, they weren't that shocked that we decided to do this now."
