Dawn French has wowed her fans with a dramatic hair transformation which brought a lot of love after she shared a selfie on Instagram.

The 64-year-old comedian, who delighted TV viewers in The Vicar of Dibley, has been known for much of her career for having a dark brown bob.

Now it is all change though and after allowing the grey to come through in recent months so that she had silvery hair, she has transformed again.

She had previously had an undercut but now she has teased her locks into an impressive quiff.

The French and Saunders star debuted her new style on Instagram as well as teasing a new project, of which she gave the scantest details.

She wore a black number with ruffles, which was accompanied by silver earrings.

To compliment her striking hair-do, Dawn paired her smoky eye shadow and black mascara with a pale pink lipstick.

Dawn captioned the pic: "I done a sekrit fing last night… shhhh!"

Over 24,000 people liked the snap and Doctor Who showrunner, Russel T Davies, was among the first to comment, writing with a red heart emoji and two kisses: "Beautiful!"

The actress has embraced such a hairstyle in recent years, with Dawn having ditched her signature dyed dark hair, as she "couldn't be bothered" to upkeep it.

The comedian has spoken about her plan to grow her hair out, telling Good Housekeeping recently that she is "curious" to see what her iconic bob would look like grey.
