The beautician - who was voted as one of the show's greatest ever contestants - was rushed to hospital on Tuesday after a recent stint in rehab, but died shortly after.

It is believed that the Lancashire-born blonde killed herself after a long battle with alcoholism and depression.

Her devastated father Raymond said: "It's heartbreaking. She was a lovely girl, but she was ill and did not want to be here anymore.

"The drink - vodka - had got hold of her."

"It's heartbreaking. She was a lovely girl, but she was ill and did not want to be here anymore."

Her appearance on Come dine With Me made her one of the most memorable contestants ever after her erratic behaviour throughout the week culminated in her going to bed and falling asleep on the night she was meant to be hosting.

She made a starter for her guests but went to bed before the main - of supermarket-bought Mexican food - was cooked and served.

Leaving her guests to fend for themselves, viewers were left wondering if the bubbly star suffered from narcolepsy.

But it was revealed that she had been dealing with alcohol and mental problems for a number of years and had just come back from a stint in rehab.

Dawn had been seeking celebrity stardom for just over a decade on a string of reality television shows.

And after appearing on Blind Date and Club Reps, the glamorous salon owner from Lancashire finally got her shot to fame as a contestant on the TV cookery programme in January 2009.

Friends and family have taken to social networking site Facebook to leave tributes.

Snap Aimee, I had just been reading it and was going to post it in here, very sad when booze gets a grip like this 

I'm sure she was on other show, where the parents follow their kids on holiday
