Born in 1958 in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, into an RAF family, Jennifer Saunders originally trained to be a teacher at London's Central School of Speech and Drama. It was here that she met and, later, forged a friendship with Dawn French. They later shared a flat together and towards the end of their programme started writing and performing comedy together.

I love Jennifer! She's funny and oh so talented! Who was it that brought us "Ab Fab"? One of my favourite shows! She and Dawn French work brilliantly together, and has been entertaining us for over 10 years now.
