The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, Dawn Ward, was reduced to tears on Loose Women after appearing on the TV show, defending her decision to allow daughters Darby and Taylor to have a boob job.
Sitting alongside panellists Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Saira Khan and Jane Moore, the 43 year old reality TV star was questioned by Saira Khan about her allowing her two eldest daughters, Darby, 19, and Taylor, 21, to have the cosmetic procedure.

Dawn replied, ‘Everyone’s daughters are different. They’re 21 and 19, and they’re mature, quite strong women which is how I hoped to have brought them up.”

When Saira implied they were too young and that Dawn was the grown up woman, Dawn retorted, “Yes and she’s 21. I was married and had Darby,” (when she was 21).
“They both came to me separately. We discussed it and they told me the reasons why.’

Dawn revealed how her daughters both had completely different reasons for wanting the boob jobs, with Taylor having one breast two sizes smaller than the other, and Darby struggling with body confidence issues.
Darby was in the audience and stood up for her mum when host Ruth Langsford asked her how she felt about the people who had criticised her mum.

Darby responded “I’m a bit upset actually because at the end of the day she is my mum and she’s only supporting me and the decision that I’m going to take. It’s my body – she’s not saying ‘You need to go and have your boobs done.’ It’s something that I came to her with and that I was conscious about and she was supporting me.”
But viewers weren’t happy with the panel’s treatment of Dawn and took to social media to let their voices be heard:
As always @dawnward4 was dignified and calm at the onslaught of questions. Love this woman #LooseWomen
