...but with my tits out

Dawn French has joked that she wants to be interred in a see-through coffin in her Vicar Of Dibley outfit – but with her boobs out so people can rub them for good luck.

And she’d like the casket to be placed on the Tamar Bridge between Devon and Cornwall, the county which she has made her home, for maximum exposure

The comedian laid out her plan on Kathy Burke's new podcast Where There's A Will, There's A Wake, which takes a light-hearted look at death.

Discussing her posthumous plans, French said the coffin ‘will be solid gold, obviously. Like a sarcophagus. I'm thinking with a Perspex top, right, so you can see through, as I'd like to be preserved. I’d like to be embalmed - properly in full make-up, with lashes.

’In, possibly, a vicar's outfit. With the surplice, you know, the full vestments. I’d like the whole coffin to be raised up, upright on the Tamar Bridge, as you enter Cornwall with "you are now entering Cornwall", written underneath.

‘And the Perspex front has two holes, with my tits coming through, and if, if you want, you could rub them for luck.’
