Dawn has already wowed fans with her slimmed-down frame last month, after dropping a huge seven and a half stone.

The brunette had previously explained that she embarked on a complete dietary overhaul in preparation for a hysterectomy in 2014, as the recovery time would be less if she were a healthier weight. 

And Dawn revealed that although she has lost an incredible amount of weight, she’s remained the same person throughout her sensational transformation.

She said: ‘I shed the weight a long time ago, I go up a bit, down a bit, feel no different, I’m still Dawn, I liked the old Dawn, I may go there again, depends how many donuts I decide to eat.
