Dawn French has lived in Cornwall for the past 14 years, with her husband Mark Bignell. The comedian is clearly enamoured with the county, and previously credited her move there from London for helping her to stay calm, telling Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast: "There is, without a doubt, beauty here. I can do nothing but connect with that. It makes me calm, it makes me happier and it sort of enthuses my mind with better ways of thinking."

She now shares the 40-room residence with her husband Mark Bignell, who she married in 2013.
