Comedienne Dawn French shows off her new svelte figure

It is great to see a picture of Dawn French in the Daily Mail today  looking absolutely fabulous!!

Having recently lost over 4 stone, gradually I must add, she is looking even more attactive than she always has.

Even at her worst weight she still looked great, but seeing the new Dawn at the Galaxy National Book Awards in London this weekend  in her black dress which sat just above her knees, she looked amazing!

In her first interview since shedding the pounds, she explained her latest look.

‘I’m eating healthily, taking care of myself and feeling very happy indeed,’ she said. ‘Life is good. I want to go to Pilates classes, actually.’

Now Miss French, whose Vicar Of Dibley character Geraldine Granger shared a penchant for chocolate, is restricting herself to an occasional Fruit & Nut bar. She has also given up chips, opting instead for salads.

Miss French announced she had separated from husband Lenny Henry, 52, in April last year after 25 years of marriage. The couple – who have an adopted daughter Billie, 19 – saw their divorce finalised six months later.

Speaking in the latest issue of Woman magazine, she revealed that she is still single – though admitted she had been enjoying the company of new men and ‘gentlemen callers’.

‘The only thing that’s new is meeting new chaps,’ she said. ‘But what is that other than extremely exciting and very good fun? I don’t even want to call it dating, like some teenager.

‘I’m just trying to have a bit of fun every now and again. I’m taking some people up on offers and I’m not taking up other people.’

It appears that her reason for dieting has been due to the fact that she worried about health issues that extra weight can cause.

So here at 100percentpeople we congratulate Dawn on this achievment.

She has also been nominated in the 2011 Plus Size Woman of the Year Award so why not vote for her??
