We've seen Dawn French in a variety of comedy roles over the years, but never before have we seen her take on a raunchy character like this.

The French and Saudners star has joined the beautiful Emilia Fox, Game of Thrones' Iain Glen and Sheila Hancock in new Sky 1 show Delicious, a new four-part drama.

Airing this December, Delicious stars Dawn and Emilia as two women who go head to head after being betrayed by the same man.

Written by Dan Sefton, the man behind Mr Selfridge and Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Delicious is a new original drama that has all the ingredients to be a big drama hit.

Dawn plays passionate cook Gina, who was once married to Leo Vincent, played by Iain Glen, a successful entrepreneur, chef and hotel owner in Cornwall.

Leo owes much of his success to Gina’s exceptional cooking, but since leaving her for the glamorous Sam, Emilia Fox, his business has continued to thrive.

When Sam has suspicions that Leo is having an affair she confides in Gina, confident that she’ll recognise the signs, only to later discover that it’s Gina herself who is the 'other woman'. Awkward.

The secrets and scandals that spill out are proof that sleeping with another woman’s husband is never a good idea, even if he was your husband first.

As Sam and Gina try to fix their broken families, will a friendship rise from the ashes of betrayal or will they tear each other apart?

Delicious also stars Sheila Hancock as Leo’s mother Mimi, and newcomers Ruari O'Connor as Leo and Sam’s son Michael and Tanya Reynolds as Leo and Gina’s daughter Teresa.
