DAWN FRENCH surprised fans on her 30th birthday by sharing extremely rare images of her daughter Billie Henry. The 63-year-old comic is one of the most popular in America, but she prefers to keep her personal life private.
The TV star, who adopted Billie when she was two years old with her ex-husband Lenny Henry, took to social media to mark the occasion.
Dawn’s celebrity pals were quick to wish Billie a happy birthday, with Emma Barnett tweeting a heart emoji and Gok Wan adding, “Happy birthday Billie.”

French says that Billie has always known she was adopted. She even took out an injunction when a biographer came close to disclosing Billie’s original mother’s name.
When asked how she and Henry would react if Billie wanted to learn more about her biological mother, French responded, “We’ll support her in anything she wants to do when she becomes 18. I’m more concerned about someone else deciding for her.”
