In the run up to the launch of series 11 Femalefirst took the opportunity to have a chat with the Housewives themselves. Now we get Dawn’s take and here’s what she had to say:

You’re back for another season! What should audiences expect from you this time round?

After 11 seasons, I think I do end up saying a similar thing each time! Drama, obviously you will also see a lot of my family, which is a big part of my life. We have some fun, laughter, crying, typical of us!

What sort of drama or alliances should we be looking out for in Season 11?

Without giving away too much…there is always drama around me. I am quite a big personality but I am passionate about what I believe in. So when I believe in something, unless I am proven wrong, I don’t change my mind. So there is a bit of a surprise later in the season where I have a slight fall out with somebody. Friendships have definitely changed throughout the series.

Have there been any shifts in alliances you can tell us a little bit about?

Yes there have! We don’t usually have a soft start with housewives, we love to go in two feet first! We have very strong, opinionated ladies and that is what you get when you have a group of us. We don’t fail to disappoint!

What did you make of Nicole when she joined the show?

I really like Nicole. I didn’t know anything about Nicole before she joined the show. In fact, she knows quite a few people I do so I am surprised I didn’t know who she is! I find her very intelligent, smart, fair, funny and good fun. She is a good girl and I really like her a lot. She is very family oriented. She is what I call a doer.

What was it like saying goodbye to Ester and moving her out of Watford Hall?

I have a lot of love for Ester. She does drive me mad sometimes and she is a complex character. I have gotten to know her very well in the time she has lived with me and we have had some real heart to hearts. I feel she is leaving Watford Hall a different person then when she arrived, which is ultimately what I wanted to achieve…to help her.
