Dawn French has shared a rare photograph of her private life in Cornwall with her husband Mark Bignell, revealing she has been cutting his hair.
The Vicar of Dibley star, 65, uploaded an Instagram photograph of charity boss Mark sitting on the patio at the fairytale garden of their £2 million home, with his shorn locks covering his T-shirt. She joked in the accompanying caption: "I started cutting it for him during covid. Apparently I’m ‘brilliant’ at it. I know what I really am, is cheap.."
Dawn's followers were loving the candid (and relatable) insight into her relationship. One wrote: "Same, I got that job during lockdown now can't get out of it."
Another commented: "I see a new TV show. Dawn French interviews celebrities while giving them a bad haircut," while a third joked: "Thought you’d shaved the cat till I read the post."

She did previously admit, however, that he was something of a "hoarder", shaming him for leaving large piles of belongings around their old home just before their house move in 2022.

The new five-bedroom house comes after Dawn sold her previous home in Fowey for a dazzling £6.6 million, after buying it for £2.3 million and thus securing a hefty £4.3 million profit.
