Dawson is the daughter of late comedian Les Dawson, and after she became a mom in 2020, she had a lot of reflective thoughts. Dawson's father died when she was eight months old, so when her son turned eight months, she began to worry about her health and that she wouldn't be there for him, especially after she had a health scare. Dawson tells Fabulous Magazine that she decided to work with nutritionist, Jo Travers, to help change her diet. "She sorted my diet with foods that don't spike my blood sugars," Dawson said.

Dawson told Fabulous Magazine that one of the changes she made to her diet were the sizes of her portions. She says that she still enjoys her favorite foods, but in smaller sizes, which don't mess with her diabetes. "I've still been eating meals I love, like spaghetti Bolognese, but the portion sizes are a lot smaller so I can stay within 1,500 calories," she said.

Dawson tells Fabulous Magazine that she does still indulge once in a while. However, she says that she saves said indulgences for the weekends, and eats healthy during the week. "Obviously the food has changed, but I'm honestly loving it. I still love my prosecco and fish and chips, but now I have it as a treat at the weekend."

In addition to eating healthy, Dawson says that she has started working out a lot more. And she is not wavering from her fitness routine. Even when she's on vacation. Dawson posted this video on Instagram of herself working out at her hotel. She wrote in the caption, "Did you ever think you'd see this?! Chazza working out on holiday! I'm obvs enjoying myself on me holiday so the belleh is being blasted.. it is only 15 minutes – so in the time it takes your cocktail to arrive you can fit a chuffin werkkk out in!!!"

Dawson posts a lot of workout videos on Instagram, usually with her personal trainer, Sophie Maggie. According to this video, Dawson and Maggie like to do a lot of planks and plank-based exercises together, like side plank crunches. Dawson humorously wrote in the caption, "Honestly I've never said I'm an expert at all this fitness biz – tbh before this last year I'd have thought a plank was something to do with pirates."
