No doubt her lighter look has gone down a storm at home. The comedian has been married to husband Mark Bignell since 2013 and they have been living together in her home in Cornwall for some 14 years now.
She was famously formerly married for 25 years to Lenny Henry, who whom she shares her adopted daughter, Billie.

During an appearance on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, Dawn spoke candidly about the couple's decision to adopt.
"I knew I wanted to definitely be a mother that was a very strong instinct," she shared. "Then what happened was my body wouldn't let me be a mother and everything kept failing all the time for all sorts of reasons.
"We had to make a big decision, to put aside IVF and go for adoption."

She spoke further about their bond in an interview with HELLO! in October last year. "My biggest test and my biggest joy," she said of Billie. "But it is unbreakable.
"We have the same amount of mother/daughter friction that any mum and daughter have, it's no more or less. But I've learnt a lot about her. And she's learnt a lot about me."
