Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders reunited on Christmas Day for a 30th anniversary show leaving everyone in stitches.
During a sketch about the Kardashians though, our mind was momentarily diverted from the hilarity and over to Jennifer's outerwear.

The scene kicked off with Jennifer drawling to a friend on the phone, clad in glamorous leather leggings and brunette extensions.
However the hilarity only heightened when Dawn walked in - sporting a face of patchy make-up and a huge fake derriere underneath her skirt, to embody her Kim character.
First strutting into the kitchen, Dawn then began to panic and shriek as she greeted Jennifer - flapping her arms wildly behind her, before sighing: 'Oh, it's just my big fat a***, I thought it was someone behind me!'

To which Dawn said: 'Jennifer, we're connecting with the kids, we're being relevant!'
