Brookside icon Anna Friel cut a casual figure as she enjoyed a leisurely stroll with her pet dog while on in Liverpool on Wednesday.
The Pushing Daisies star, 48, rocked a white and navy blue varsity jacket thrown over a white T-shirt and a pair of dark jeans.
Embracing her natural looks, youthful Anna appeared bare-faced as she ditched her makeup and kept warm with a pair of black Ugg boots.
The star could be seen deep in conversation on the phone as she enjoyed a breath of fresh air and a walk with her dog in the Northern city.
Anna is currently in Liverpool to film Jimmy McGovern's new BBC drama.

The Marcella star, who was BAFTA-nominated for her previous work with Jimmy in Broken, will be joined by Bobby Schofield, David Threlfall and Mark Womack in the as-yet untitled single drama.
The fictional drama will explore the impact of grooming and sexual abuse on one family who find out their abuse was perpetrated by a member of their own family who, after serving his sentence, has just been released from prison.
Colin McKeown, executive producer for LA Productions says: 'This is a profoundly challenging and sensitive subject, tackled with intelligence and care by Jimmy McGovern.
'It's a privilege to be working with him again following the success of our previous collaborations on single dramas: Common, Care, Reg and Anthony.'
Writer Jimmy McGovern says: 'I can't believe the cast and crew that have been assembled for this production. It's a challenging film, yes, but I can't wait for it to be shown.'
Anna starred on Brookside for two years where she played Beth Jordache on the soap.
Although, she may not have been one of Brookside's longest serving cast members, she certainly did make a splash on the show with her character featuring in two of the show's biggest plot lines.
The first dramatic storyline centred around Beth killing her father, Trevor, to death before both she and her mother hid him underneath their garden patio.

Anna took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter's 18th birthday last year as she shared a family snap with Gracie's dad, her ex-partner David Thewlis, 60
The following plot that shook the nation was her character's lesbian kiss - the first to ever be shown on British TV.
After her two-year stint on the soap, Anna went on to have an illustrious acting career and even bagged an Emmy award for her portrayal in Pushing Daisies and Marcella.
Her love live has been just as interesting, having previously had a brief fling with Robbie Williams in 1997 as well as Notting Hill star Rhys Ifans.
She later met actor David Thewlis whilst journeying to Cannes, and the lovebirds struck up a romance in 2001.
The same year, the actress underwent emergency medical care after a cyst in her ovary erupted.
It was also found that the actress has endometriosis. This coupled with her ruptured cyst meant it would be hard to conceive.
Despite her pregnancy struggles, Anna and her partner David welcomed their daughter Gracie Ellen Mary Friel into the world on July 9, 2005.
The couple split in 2010 but are said to remain good friends.
