Talking at an Exeter show during her one-woman stand-up tour, she recalled that one role she’d been given as an “over-sexed teacher” contained a line she objected to.<\/p>\n
“I had taken umbrage about the very last line of the film which I thought was a bit sexist,” the comic continued.<\/p>\n
“The scene took place in an ambulance between my character Susie and a very handsome doctor who Susie was flirting with, and the line was something like, ‘Ooh what’s your name?’<\/p>\n
“He said Kenny, and my line was ‘Ooh that’s a name you can wrap your lips around.'”<\/p>\n

We were on the floor and everything. We were like angry toddlers on the floor!” she claimed.<\/p>\n She added that she told him in the heat of the moment: “You can shove your line up your boney a**e. I hate you. I wish you were dead.”<\/p>\n Dawn told the audience that she gave the scene another go, but that Peter ended up cutting the film short, meaning that she didn’t have to repeat the line that had upset her after all.<\/p>\n Express.co.uk has approached Peter Richardson for comment.<\/p>\n Dawn’s tour, Dawn French Is A Huge T***, has been enormously successful, with Dawn commenting on the official website that she’d “grossly underestimated just how many glorious T***s” would be interested in coming to the show.<\/p>\n She urged fans: “Stop nagging me on social media about the fact we missed your town\u2026 And get booking.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m bringing my T*** to a theatre near you, it\u2019s futile to resist!”<\/p>\n
