EastEnders star Jessie Wallace appeared to be making the most of the warm weather on Tuesday as she was pictured leaving a north London petrol station in a black sundress.
The actress, 49, looked worlds away from her character Kat Slater's usual leopard print-themed garb in the spaghetti-strapped dress.
The soap star teamed her loose-fitting number with a pair of black and pink trainers and used her sunglasses to keep her chin-length hair off her face.
Jessie's causal appearance comes weeks after she left fans shocked when she shared a crude comment under her 26-year-old co-star Max Bowden's Instagram post.
Max shared a snap of himself looking rather dapper in a brown check blazer and double-breasted waistcoat at the National Television Awards two years ago.
He captioned the post: "Been a lifetime since this photo #ntas."
And it seems as though the Jessie was ready to stir the pot as she jokingly commented: "Remember… if you need a m***e to cry on…. I’m yer gal [winking emoji]."
The brash response stunned Max's followers as they shared both their horror and amusement at Jessie's reply.
One fan commented: "I am speechless and laughing at the same time xxxx I love the love and banter between eastenders cast it makes me smile."
Another wrote: "@jessie.wallace_official Supportive m***e. I’m defiantly using this as a pick up line. Cheers Jess," alongside a string of laughing emojis.
A third penned: "@jessie.wallace_official hahahaha I choked on my green bean when I saw this."
While fans were quick to jump on Jessie's comment, the actor himself seemed a little more coy and was yet to reply to his co-star.
Elsewhere, Jessie - who has starred on the popular BBC1 soap on and off since 2000 - was dramatically suspended from the BBC soap early last year after being accused of being drunk on set.
Jessie was written out of story lines for a brief period but made a triumphant return when filming resumed following the first lockdown.
In September, the actress also admitted that she enjoyed snogging her co-star Davood Ghadami while appearing on Secrets From The Square.
During the interview with Stacey Dooley, Jessie coyly discussed some of her raunchier scenes.
"I'm like, 'Oh ho ho ho!' I quickly go through the script and go, 'Oh, we snog! We snog in this one!'," Jessie jokingly told Stacey.
"Sometimes it's not in there and I say, 'Davood, do you think we should kiss in this one?'"
