Dawn Ward become well known to reality TV fans when she made her appearance on the Real Housewives of Cheshire.
She made her debut during the reality show's first series back in 2015 alongside the likes of Tanya Bardsley, Leanne Brown, and Lauren Simon.
As well as appearing alongside her fellow housewives, the interiors and property guru's husband, ex-footballer Ashley Ward and their four daughters also regularly made appearances.
And it's fair to say Dawn had her fair share of drama in front of the ITVBe cameras.
But she dramatically announced in December 2020 that she was quitting the show due to family reasons.
She said at the time: "Having been on the Real Housewives of Cheshire for almost 7 years and 12 seasons, I’ve had the most incredible journey, not just me, but my whole family. It really has been amazing for us.
"Season 12 has now come to an end and filming has finished. It’s been difficult this season with the pandemic but the cast and our amazing production team have pulled it off again, it’s been fun!
"Everyone who knows me knows I’m all about my family, so I’ve decided that after 12 seasons on the show I would like to concentrate on projects with them."
Dawn also shared her gratitude for ITV and for the "amazing fans for their incredible support."
According to Cheshire Live, it was recently reported the the 48-year-old has the highest net worth out of all the the other housewives.
Spears estimate her worth as upwards of £42 million, which is a result of her success as a TV star and through her career as an interior designer and business woman.
Dawn lives in the palatial Warford Hall, near Alderley Edge, a stunning property built in 1869.
However, it was reported towards the end of last year that she and the family were packing up to live in Dubai.
As already mentioned, Dawn is married to Middleton-born Ashley Ward, 51, who played for the likes of Norwich City and Leicester City after coming through the Manchester City academy.
He retired in 2005 and now runs a number of businesses alongside his wife
The couple, who tied the knot at St Michael's Church in Middleton in June 1995, share four children together - Aston 11, Charlie, 13, Darby, 25, and Taylor, 23.
Last year, Dawn and Ashley became first-time grandparents when Derby welcomed a baby girl, Skye, into the world with her businessman Michael Jackson.
And that's all going to happen again this year as Taylor announced earlier this week that she and her Manchester City footballer fiance Riyad Mahrez are expecting a baby.
