Dawn French, Lenny Henry granted divorce

Dawn French and Lenny Henry have been granted a 'quickie' divorce after 25 years of marriage.

The couple announced their separation in April as French cited Henry's "unreasonable behaviour" as the cause.

Neither party was present as the decree nisi was granted by district judge Penny Cushing in just 3 minutes and 55 seconds, according to Sky News.

No further details relating to Henry's unreasonable behaviour were revealed in documents released by the court.

The 52-year-old did not contest the petition and agreed to pay the costs.
