Dawn French faced fresh backlash for appearing on The Show Show last night (May 20) after she admitted to sharing a âone-sidedâ Gaza video.
On Wednesday evening, the comedian was joined by singer Michael Ball and hosts Angellica Bell and Clara Amfo. The 68-year-old promoted her new novel, Enough, which has been described as an emotional tearjerker.
However, Dawnâs appearance was met with a mixed reaction due to her previous comments on the Gaza warâŠ

In June last year, Dawn took to her social media and shared her views on the ongoing war.
âComplicated, no, but nuanced. But [the] bottom line is no,â she said. Dawn then switched to a high-pitched voice and added:  âYeah, but you know they did a bad thing to us, yeah but no. But we want that land⊠and we have history⊠No. Those people arenât really even people, are they really? No.â
Dawn faced immediate backlash and later issued an apology.
She admitted that the video âappeared one-sidedâ, and said she never meant to âmock, or dismiss, or diminish the horrorâ of that day.
âI hope you will understand my intention was not to offend, but I clearly have. For which I am sorry and I have removed the video,â she continued.
Despite apologising, it seems many have not forgiven the Vicar of Dibley starâŠ

âShe should have been cancelled forever!â
âHow is that vile French women on tv still?â one user asked.
âIâve gone right off Dawn French,â another person shared.
âDisgusting you had Dawn French on!!! She should have been cancelled forever!!â a third remarked.
âIs that the same Dawn French who mocked Israels reason for going to war against Hamas after the Oct 7th terrorist attacks?â a fourth said.
âI could listen to her all nightâ
Meanwhile, many were happy to see Dawn return to their screens.
âDawn French is great,â one said.
âI love Dawn. Iâm envious of her beautiful steel grey hair!â another expressed.
âLove Dawn, I could listen to her all night,â a third insisted.
