  Dawn French has married her partner Mark Bignell in a Cornish
  seaside town, it has been reported.
  
  The Vicar Of Dibley actress is believed to have had a hotel wedding in Fowey,
  near St Austell, with celebrity guests including her comedy partner Jennifer
  Saunders, TV presenter Sue Perkins, actress Kathy Burke and screenwriter Richard
  Curtis.
  French and Henry divorced in 2010
  
  The nuptials are said to have taken place in Fowey Hall, which is described
  on its
  website as "one of the most impressive family hotels in Cornwall"
  and "sophisticated yet uncomplicated, luxurious yet laid back, grand yet
  comfy".
  
  Cornish born and bred, French owns a home in Fowey.
  
  She has reportedly been seeing Mr Bignell, the CEO of a drug rehabilitation
  charity, for about a year-and-a-half.
  
  French was previously married to fellow comedian Lenny Henry, but
  they divorced in 2010.
  
  Henry and French met on the alternative comedy circuit of the early
  1980s.
  
  They married in London in October 1984 and have an adopted daughter,
  Billie.
  
  Speaking on Radio 4's Desert Islands Discs last year, she talked about the
  end of her marriage to Henry, saying: "Those last few months were pretty much
  like the first few months, we were good friends."
  
  She added: "It was a tribute to the way we'd been married the way we
  accomplished it."
  
  French's spokesman could not be contacted, while a Fowey Hall representative
  declined to comment.
  
  While French is best known for her comedy partnership with Saunders, she has
  been a hit with TV audiences around the world as Reverend Boadicea Geraldine
  Kennedy in The Vicar Of Dibley.
  
  Last month she announced she would be joining former Spice Girl Melanie Brown
  on the judging panel of Australia's Got Talent.
  

Did she get custody of the fridge ?

I don't think she needed it Lioned because she lost a lot of weight and looked great, don't know if she has put the weight back on.

Congrats to Dawn and her new hubby.

Good for Dawn ...always thought her wasted on Lenny Henry.

I think she's lovely. Best of luck to her.

I remember when she had the spread in Playboy. I worked in an all-male office at that time and they specifically went out and bought that issue of Playboy so that they could get the poster of Dawn for their locker room. I asked one of them why they would want a picture of a semi naked Dawn French and they all said, because she is a real woman, not a stick insect!

Spot on and she's very pretty too

My abiding memory of her is from the Vicar of Dibley when she was walking with the guy she fancied and suddenly disappeared down a hole.

I like Dawn French.

I have not seen a picture of her recently but i didn't like the 'thin' look.

She is the sort of woman that looks best in a 'large' size imo.

A very attractive woman in her vicar of dibley role.

I would have her pin up calendar in my garage any day.

I didnt like the 'thin' look but sadly she now looks bigger than ever.

Yes, that was so funny. The best episode imo, although they were all great
