Ade is married to actress Jennifer Saunders, who recently revealed the secret to their 35-year union. 

The Absolutely Fabulous star, 62, told how the couple, who have three children, have learned how to avoid having conflict, a trait she also believes is why she enjoys such a successful working relationship with comedy partner Dawn French.

Speaking to Radio Times, she said: ‘We are masters of keep it in, get over it, move on. It’s probably the same with Dawn actually – we’ve worked out a way to avoid conflict.

Best known for: The TV star rose to fame for creating BBC2 sitcom Bottom – which ran from 1991 until 1995 – with the late Rik Mayall (pictured together in 1991)

Early beginnings: The thespian is also known for his role as student Vyvyan “Vyv” Basterd in The Young Ones (pictured far right with Nigel Planer, Rik Mayall and Christopher Ryan in 1982)

‘Although I shared a flat with Dawn, we didn’t become good friends until we started making up sketches. The same with Joanna; I didn’t know her at all till she came to be Patsy [in Absolutely Fabulous]. It’s all tied into the joy of having a laugh together.’ 

‘When Dawn and I get together, we talk a lot. She helps me sort out my feelings about things and people. Often, I’ll have a very entrenched opinion about something and Dawn will change my mind.’

Jennifer has remained close friends with Dawn and her Absolutely Fabulous co-star Joanna Lumley after working with both of them for decades.
