Dawn French shares her Spanish 'skills'
New clip on Instagram
Dawn French looks almost unrecognisable in a new comedyclip posted on Instagram.
The 67-year-old comic long ago ditched her brunette bob and shed a huge amount of weight after joking that she would always be referred to as 'roly-poly 80s comedienne'.
And in the new clip – in which she mocks her attempts to order food in Spanish – she goes make-up free and hides her silver-grey locks behind a beach hat.
One follower on Instagram said: 'WTF?? That’s Dawn French?', prompting another to respond: People get confused when someone wears a beach hat ???????? are we this dumb nowadays?
The Vicar of Dibley star lost seven stone for an operation in 2014, saying there was 'no magic wand, just tiny, joyless low-cal eating and lots more walking for weeks and weeks. It was grim.'
