DH called me in to see Dawn French on TV last night. He wasn't sure that it was her. I know she has lost an amazing amount of weight, but to me she looked a lot older. Then this morning I saw a headline about how people thought she 'looked amazing' 'so young'. I didn't think so, her face looked lined. What do you think?

I didn't see her last night , but a while ago I thought she was looking healthier weight

I saw her too and didn't think she looked so good either.

Yikes! When I saw the thread title I thought she'd died. shock

I haven't seen Dawn's weight loss but agree it doesn't always make them look younger. Judy Finnegan has lost shed loads of weight but she looks terrible.

Carol Vorderman was the one who shocked me recently. She's such a naturally beautiful woman, I can't imagine why, or what, she's done to herself.

There are a lot of before and after the posts on a weightwatchers FB page where I think people look at lot better and certainly younger before. Hopefully they are healthier after?

I saw her last night and didn't realise it was her at first. Thought she looks great, slim and nice hair. She did look older but I am not surprised about that as I haven't seen her for years. Be very strange if she hadn't aged.

Just had a quick look at last night's One Show and agree she looks great. I didn't realise she's 60 shock

She'll always be Geraldine, the vicar of Dibley to me.

Still, regardless of looks ( I didn’t see her) she will feel a lot better for weight loss, and healthier too.

Sometimes people's faces take a while to 'settle' after losing a lot of weight, I think.

Her face looked slimmer but she still has the weight but no as much as in the past

At first, I only recognised her voice as her face really didn't look at all like her. I wondered if, having lost some weight, she might have had some 'sculpting' work done on her face. I'd never noticed her cheekbones before. Since I've lost weight, my wrinkles have become much more noticeable, but I'm a good deal older than Dawn.
