'Can you believe it! How did that happen?' Dawn exclaimed as she confirmed that she was about to celebrate the milestone birthday, adding that she planned to mark the occasion by 'sitting down on Saturday with my kids my old man my bro and my best friends... and we'll drink too much probably!'

In the past, Dawn has credited her glowing complexion to a long dedication to a favourite high street brand - Nivea.
In July 2016, she told her social media followers that she was a big fan of the company's Q10 moisturiser, which she used regularly as part of her skincare regime.
'No one is paying me to say this, but in answer to all "skin" enquiries, please don't spend tons, this is it for me,' she advised at the time.
In previous interviews, Dawn has confessed that she can't bring herself to buy expensive beauty products, explaining: 'I have my mother in my ear saying "It's exactly the same as Nivea".'
