Dawn French Enjoys A 'New Beginning' With Partner

Dawn French has described her relationship with Mark Bignell as a new chapter in her life.

The comedienne ending her 25-year marriage with Lenny Henry in 2010 and is now in a happy relationship with 49-year-old charity executive Mark.

"I 100% thought I would be on my own – but that didn’t bother me. I was enjoying having time to myself, Closer reports

"I thought it would be sad if I didn’t have a cuddle with somebody again … but I didn’t need to live vicariously through a man and I didn’t need a knight in shining armour, I’m not sentimental like that. And then of course that is when I met him, just a couple of days later."

"I think it’s very hard to be an anchor for me because I’m independent and I think I know what’s best for me. But quite gently and carefully, Biggs has supported me enormously and I’ve suddenly realised what an enormous gift that is," She continued. "I feel like I'm at the most remarkable stage of my life … Other than my memory being a bit woolly and my knees being a bit creaky, I don't really think there's anything I can't do.

"I have absolutely no regrets about my amazing, long marriage to Lenny.

"This is an entirely different thing. It’s a separate chapter of my life – a new beginning."
