Chris Jennat, who spotted Wilson in the city, said: "They were filming for a new movie, she was just walking back and forth to a car."

It is believed most of the production will take place in Wirral and North Wales.

Wilson will also be joined by Hollywood stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Trine Dyrholm and Meera Syal.

The Almond And The Sea Horse is the story of two couples exploring the impact of a traumatic brain injury on their lives.

The drama will be Wilson's first non-comedy film role.

Andy Evans, Sean Marley and Alex Ashworth from Liverpool-based film and television company, Mad as Birds, are producing the film.
