Sadie Frost shows off her flexibility as she turns 55 with impressive yoga moves

Actress Sadie Frost wowed fans by showing off her amazing flexibility as she turns 55.

The mother-of-four, who has been practising yoga for over 30 years, says it helps her to feel comfortable with herself.

And she looked incredible as she showed off some of her moves on Instagram, wearing yoga leggings and a scarf over her chest.

"I know theres a little too much flesh in this picture but I am 55 this week and am enjoying that I still feel relatively comfortable with myself," the Bram Stoker's Dracula star told her followers.

"I do like it - it represents how amazing yoga can make you feel."

The compliments came pouring in from fans.

"You look amazing! Hope I can look like that at 55!" said one.

"Great shape Sadie," praised another.

"Inspiring," another told her.

Sadie, who spent her youth in Ashton-under-Lyne, Oldham and Denton, recently shared a photo of herself taken as a teen.

"Found this old pic of me age 16 in Manchester... aways liked black," she wrote.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News at the premiere of a film about her artist father David Vaughan in 2016 she spoke about how Manchester has changed since she was a child.

"I loved going to Ashton Market. They always had amazing potato cakes.

"My grandparents had a sweet shop in Denton and I remember everyone was really friendly, really chatty and cuddly," she recalled.

"I try to visit as much as I can and I think Ashton has changed so much and Manchester is really expanding and developing.

"A lot of the roads that I grew up in aren't there anymore including the road where my grandparents grew up.

"It's roundabout city now. There is nowhere to go back to so my home in London is the family home now."

Sadie, whose name was synonymous with the Britpop scene in the 90s, teamed up with her younger brother Toby to be executive producers on the film David Vaughan: Black on Canvas.

The idea came about after a builder, employed to clear out his house in Manchester, found many of his journals and letters in a skip, which give an intriguing insight into the artist, whose painting featured on the cover of The Kinks album Sunny Afternoon.
