Most people will admit to having a type. Lenny Henry and his girlfriend, producer Lisa Makin, are ready to take a more public approach to their relationship.
The actor stepped out with his new love - who bears more than a passing resemblance to his ex-wife Dawn French- for the Singin' in the Rain press night at the Palace Theatre on Shaftsbury Avenue last night.
The pair were affectionate as they showed up for the event, not leaving each others' side on the red carpet and maintaining physical contact at all times.

Lenny's wide grin certainly implied that his new romance is going well.
The Mail revealed in December that Lenny had found new love following the break-up of his marriage to Dawn French.
Henry, 53, has been seeing Lisa, 45, a high-profile figure in the theatre industry for several months.
