Ester, 33, made her debut on the show in 2017 as the fiancee of millionaire property developer Rob Lloyd.

But The Sun revealed that Lloyd, 53, was her lover — and the Czech was actually being bankrolled by millionaire John Temple, who she wed in 2015.

Now both relationships have broken down and reality stalwart Dawn has welcomed her new pal and daughter Pearl with open arms at Warford Hall.

Ester explained: "It's been really good and I feel in a better place.

"Dawn makes time for you. She has a salon (in her house) and she says, 'Ester, come around, have a coffee, how are you?' So she checks on me. I actually never had that.

"Pearl is too young to understand but the men, they thought, 'Oh you've got a handbag. Go! What else do you want?'"

The Czech beauty enjoys a lavish lifestyle but has always financially supported her mum and family.

She says moving in with Dawn at Christmas has helped her focus on new business ventures.

"Dawn is good for motivation, saying 'Ester, business wise, where do you want to be?'

"My career was always about having men for money. Which was the only way for me then ... Other girls do it, but then can't admit it!"
