Dawn French 'confirms new relationship'

Dawn French has reportedly confirmed that she is in her first relationship since divorcing Lenny Henry.

The couple split in April after 25 years of marriage and were granted a 'quickie' divorce last month.

"I'm not lonely, let's put it that way," she told The Sun, refusing to name the mystery man.

"But it's a difficult thing and I wouldn't want any spotlight drawn to somebody not in the business."

She added: "Before this I'd had a couple of nibbles. But now I'm not lonely - life is good."
