Judging by the cosy coats and hot water bottles, Dame Julie Walters’ latest acting job is proving to be a labour of love.
The actress, 72, was seen filming a drama series for Channel 4 on a bracing day at the seaside.
Truelove is Dame Julie’s first major TV project for six years and since revealing she battled bowel cancer in 2018.

She stars as Phil, a retired police chief who reconnects with her teenage sweetheart, Ken, played by American actor Clarke Peters, 70.

Dame Julie and the cast were filming in a chilly Burnham-On-Sea in Somerset. She was also seen alongside her body double in identical clothes and with matching hair.
