Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward has announced she is quitting the show.
Dawn, a businesswoman who lives in a £15million mansion with her ex-footballer husband Ashley Ward, is one of the show’s original cast members.
The star, 47, who appeared in the show for seven years and all of its 12 seasons, revealed on Instagram she is leaving it to concentrate on projects with her family.
She said in a statement: “Having been on the real housewives of Cheshire for almost 7 years & 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!”

She continued: “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.
“I am so grateful to ITV, Monkey Kingdom and all the amazing cast over the years past and present!
“Most importantly the amazing fans for their incredible support. It’s a great show and will only go from strength to strength as it’s done since season 1.

“I want to wish everyone involved on the show the best of luck and I can’t wait to tune in for season 13! Once again thank you so much for all your support, you really have been incredible.
“Exciting times ahead”
Dawn’s Warford Hall home sits on a 12-acre plot and has six-bedrooms and two separate apartments.
The plot also includes Dawn’s clinic Skulpt, which offers up cosmetic procedures for her posh pals and famous friends from facials to £1,250 non-surgical facelifts.
Dawn was known for her fiery temperament on the show and in Season 11 of Real Housewives, she came to blows with long-term friend Rachel Lugo during a heated argument.

She also reignited feuds with former Page 3 girl Tanya Bardsley and Hanna Miraftab.
In October, Dawn revealed that filming for season 12 had been “difficult” due to the new coronavirus guidelines.
“It’s been very difficult, not just on the cast but on the production as well,” she said.
She added: “I think if anything, filming this time around feels different for me. I had a tough season last season and I wasn’t feeling myself – I didn’t feel the best when we finished filming.”
In September Dawn, Ashley, and their two young children Charlie, 12, and Aston, 10, were forced to self isolate after testing positive for coronavirus.
