Dawn French looks 'unrecognisable' as she leaves the UK for winter holiday
British comedy icon Dawn French turned heads as she enjoyed a sun-soaked winter escape. She looked unrecognisable after showcasing her weight loss transformation and sporting her legendary haircut at a recent Rodgers and Hammerstein Association event.
At 67, Dawn, fresh off her delightful stint on The Masked Singer alongside her longtime comic cohort Jennifer Saunders, has decided to chase the sun away from the current snowy and flood-stricken UK.
Over on social media, the much-loved performer shared a joy-filled video in which she enthusiastically attempts to speak Spanish or Italian while soaking in the gorgeous winter sun at a luxurious retreat.
The revered Vicar of Dibley actress got candid with her followers, humorously fiddling with her skin as she basked under the warm rays. She wore a chic yet modest sun hat paired with a black string top that accentuated her glowing look, coupled with an infectious grin aimed at the camera.
Dawn's radiant disposition shone through in her Instagram story as she confessed to juggling Spanish and Italian phrases, hoping to remember some local expressions. Eventually, with a chuckle, she surrendered to her mother tongue, candidly requesting, "Chips, please."
The exact whereabouts of Dawn's latest escapade remains a mystery, but the Murder Most Horrid star couldn't hide her joy, beaming with delight at an undisclosed luxury hotel. This slice of paradise comes as Dawn makes a triumphant return to television, currently dazzling audiences as a judge on The Masked Singer, reports the Daily Star.

In this new venture, Dawn portrays Debbie Fenton, a "widow" who seizes a bizarre twist of fate when her husband William, played by Heap, is erroneously presumed dead.
The plot thickens as Debbie and William decide to hide him away in the attic until they can claim his life insurance payout, dreaming of a lavish retirement. However, keeping ahead of suspicions becomes a comedic challenge, especially as their son grapples with his father's death.
Dawn, ever the humourist, quipped to her followers about her latest gig: "At last... a sitcom where I can keep my top on... mostly."

Her comment reflects a newfound confidence after previously being targeted by online trolls. Despite the negativity, Dawn has always embraced her figure, even after shedding seven stone following health concerns.
In a candid 2014 interview, post-weight loss, Dawn confronted the issue of internet trolls head-on, stating firmly: "I have never rejected the bigger woman I have been."
"Lots of people do it and say, 'Oh, you look so much better - now you look well'," she told The Times. "'And I think, 'F*** off! Don't judge that other person who I loved.'".
