Comedian Dawn French's amazing weight loss
Dawn French has received encouragement from fans for looking “far too gorgeous” after posting a picture of herself modelling a top.
The 59-year-old smiled as she posed in a colourful shirt that complimented her weight loss.
Looking happy and healthy, fans praised the comedian for her new look.
One fan wrote, “You are far too gorgeous Miss Dawnie.”
One commented, “Oh my word! Where’ve you gone? Looking great!”
Another added, “OMG! I love it! You look AWESOME!”
In 2014 when the British star began to slim down, some believed it was due to her marriage to Lenny Henry ending. She later revealed it was so she could undergo a hysterectomy.
She told the audience on her 30 Million Minutes tour, “When I was due to have my hysterectomy the doc told me that if I could lose some weight before the op, they would be able to do it via keyhole, and I would recover in three weeks or so.”
“Otherwise it would be big open surgery, and three months to recover. So, I set about dropping a few stone.”
“No magic wand, just tiny, joyless lo-cal eating and lots more walking for weeks and weeks. It was grim. I lost seven-and-a-half stone (48kg). I could have the keyhole surgery. Great. That’s all it was, practical.”
Dawn has revealed that she had a “fondness” for her previous figure.
She told Womanmagazine, “I have a great fondness for that other body. I knew it very well and I don’t know this one as well, not yet.”
“I was never actually unhappy then so it’s not the case that I was miserable and I’m happy now."
