The Vicar of Dibley star Dawn French is known for her trademark brunette bob (as well as her hilarious comedy, of course) but she’s unveiled an edgy new look after embracing her natural grey hair.

The 63-year-old comedian proudly showed off her dramatic transformation on Instagram as she revealed she’d embraced her natural roots with a trendy undercut.

Dawn, who once lost seven and a half stone, opened up about gaining weight last year on her podcast Titting About alongside Jennifer Saunders.

She said, “I’ve gone back to being an entire barrel but do you know what? I’m going to be 63 this year, I don’t give a f—k. I really don’t, so long as I can walk…

“I’m not going to be stingy to myself anymore.”

Dawn added, “I never did dislike anything really about my body, even when I was very, very fat. In fact, I used to get really angry when I did lose weight, of people going, ‘You look so well,’ as if you looked awful before…

“Rewarding you for managing it, which is not easy, I accept that. But I didn’t want people to give me approval. It’s so patronising.”
