She told Amanda: “One of the important things Graham said to me a few days before he died was, ‘Dawn, go and live the dream for both of us’.” The emotional scenes tugged on the heart strings of viewers as they headed to social media to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “OMG how heartbreaking. Dawn is amazing to have carried on with their dream.” A second gushed: “How amazing is Dawn,” as another echoed: “How inspiring is Dawn, so sad but so brave. Good for her.” Someone else agreed: “This is so sad. Really wasn’t expecting it.”

Dawn shared some words of advice for viewers, saying: “Whatever life throws at you, if it’s important enough, you can do it. And I’ve had support to pick me up and get me on my way again, my family came out and helped me loads in the beginning because the house was a mess.”
