Dawn has been promoting her new book Me. You. A Diary, which enables readers to jot down their own thoughts as they read.

She also seems surprised to be turning 60. “Can you believe it? How did that happen?” she joked on The One Show.

Last year Dawn revealed that she started losing weight to prepare for a hysterectomy.

“The doc told me that if I could lose some weight before the op, they would be able to do it via keyhole and I would recover in three weeks or so,” she said.

“Otherwise it would be big open surgery, and three months to recover. So, I set about dropping a few stone.”

The weight-loss hasn’t changed Dawn’s attitude to life.

“I’ve never disliked myself, and my weight has nothing to do with my self-esteem,” she said. “I still refuse to dislike my old body.

“For me, whatever age or size I’ve been, I have rather liked myself. The shell is not the thing at all.”
