Stunning Dawn French amazes This Morning viewers with her youthful looks as she reveals she is preparing to turn 60

DAWN French stunned This Morning viewers today as she revealed she is approaching her 60th birthday.

The comedienne looked incredible during her appearance on the TV show, and fans couldn't believe it when she talked about her age.

Dawn, 59, joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on the sofa today to talk about her new TV show Little Big Shots.

She wore her hair in her trademark bob, and showed off her seven and a half stone weight loss in a chic dress.

But viewers were sent into a spin with her most revealing revelation - as she talked about her upcoming 60th birthday.

Dawn revealing she is working on a new non-fiction book, which is due to be released in the autumn around the time of her big day.

She said: "I am writing something that is non-fiction... that is going to be published around my birthday because I'm 60 this year."

Phil gasped and said: "No way"

Dawn replied: "Way!... I am 60 this year - how did that happen?

"When I was a kid, I used to look at people who were 60 and think you should just really die because what is the point of you?

"When I was little that's what I used to think about people who were 60.

I did - and now I'm that person... but being 60 doesn't feel like anything. I feel like I'm 40!"

The French and Saunders star will mark the milestone in October, and fans couldn't believe it.

They flocked to Twitter to debate Dawn's age, insisting she looks years younger than 59.

One wrote: "Dawn French can't be 60 this year. She looks amazing! #ThisMorning."

Another tweeted: "How the hell is Dawn French nearly 60?!?! Goals to look like her at 59 #ThisMorning."

A third stated: "As if Dawn French is 60!"

During the chat with Holly and Phil, Dawn admitted she can't believe she has made it to 60 - insisting she still feels 40.

She said: " [When I was a kid] I though at 60 you shoulf just die - but 60 feels just like 40.

"[I couldn't imagine being this old] when I was little."

Dawn also revealed she is desperate to become a grandmother and is waiting for her daughter Billie to become a mum.

The Vicar of Dibley veteran said: "I know you are not supposed to encourage your kids to have children, but I am a grandparent in waiting.

"Jen [Jennifer Saunders] has three I practice with - I am waiting for grandkids."
