Dawn French says her friendship with comedy partner Jennifer Saunders is a bit like a marriage.
She added that despite not liking Jennifer much at first when they met at drama school in the 1970s, they were soon so close they were “sort of in love”.
Dawn said: "I didn't really like Jen that much at the very beginning because she's quite posh, or I thought she was but she's not really. She had a whole friendship group of way out of my league sort of people, and then I had to share a flat with her.
