That did happen but the other guy who responded to you is also right. The modern Britons with more mediterranean looks 1) probably have very VERY British looking ancestry, 2) got their looks from years of different groups coming into Britain with ties to southern Europe. Celts, Beaker folk with strong trade ties to Iberia, the French brought in by the Normans, Roman soldiers from all over the Roman empire, Huguenots, Flemish people, and the pre Bell Beaker natives of Britain who we know looked a lot more like Sardinians than British people.
There's a better image than this but I can't find it. It shows 3 dominant ancestry streams in Britain: England EMA (Anglos), France LIA (Celts), and the pre-Celtic, post-Stonehenge inhabitants of Britain who were strongly related to Scots and proto-Germanics etc.
