Dawn French: I lost 45kg – but put 13 back on!

She made headlines last year when she lost 45kg from her famously full-figure, but comedienne Dawn French has admitted she has put 13kg back on.

Dawn, 55, blames her love of bread, pasta and potatoes for her weight gain, but says she’s isn’t letting it get her down.

“I am perfectly happy with how I look and I always have been,” she said. “I’ll always be a fat girl and I am happy with that.”

Dawn isn’t the only celebrity who has publicly struggled with their weight – here are some other stars whose weight has yo-yoed over the years.
