Dawn French has been a part of the British comedy scene for decades and is best known for starring in The Vicar of Dibley - but her own life has been filled with heartbreak and joy.
Dawn French, once part of the nation's most beloved comedy duos, is now enjoying a joyous marriage and is gracing our screens again this festive season. She's returned to the role of the Fairy in Marks and Spencer's Christmas advert, even appearing alongside herself.
Behind the scenes, Dawn has an extraordinary personal tale involving the adoption of her daughter Billie. Dawn and Lenny Henry were a high-profile comedic partnership for 25 years, yet they faced private challenges starting a biological family, reports the Mirror. Opening up in a heartfelt interview with HELLO! in October 2021, the talented actress shared insights into the incredible bond she shares with her daughter. "My biggest test and my biggest joy," she referred to her child, adding: "But it is unbreakable. We have the same amount of mother/daughter friction that any mum and daughter have, it's no more or less. But I've learnt a lot about her. And she's learnt a lot about me.

Spurred by speculations that Lenny had been unfaithful back in 1999—a claim he has always denied—the couple eventually found themselves at a crossroads.
