Dawn French

Since her split from comedian and husband of 25 years Lenny Henry, 53, last year, Dawn French, 54, is looking at life afresh. Not only has she lost an estimated 6st and published best-selling new novel A Tiny Bit Marvellous, she's also started dating.  

Comedian Lenny Henry has found a new love - who is a dead ringer for his exwife, TV star Dawn French. Lenny, 53, met theatre producer Lisa Makin, 45, through mutual friends.
