Despite being a part of the franchise for almost seven years, interiors and property guru Dawn Ward will not be returning for the 13th series of The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
Those who follow Dawn on Instagram may already be aware that the star made the announcement of her departure from the show in December.
Dawn, 47, has been a part of ITVBe’s reality series since it began in 2015 but the housewife confirmed that she will no longer join the other ladies on the show as she plans to concentrate on projects with her family.
Taking to Instagram in December, the mother of four said: “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.

The star also gave her thanks to ITV and the production as a whole.
