Actress Anna Friel has spoken of her love for life in Los Angeles.

The ex-Brookside star is currently starring in US show Pushing Daisies and is enjoying a healthy lifestyle across the pond.

Speaking to Closer magazine, Friel admitted: “When I arrived, I didn’t think I would get into it. Then I got excited, thinking I was going to walk all the time and eat healthily, like people do out here. But at first I was working 17 hours a day, so there was no chance.”

“I never looked or felt so good. I do pilates every day,” explained the 31-year-old. “And then I’ll have juice made of beetroot, celery and dandelion leaves.

“You really notice the difference - with your hair, your eyesight, everything - when you have juices every day. Plus there isn’t a big party lifestyle out here - or maybe I’m working too hard!”

Reflecting on the change, Friel added: “I was always scared of the thought of being out here, but I’ve grown to love it!”

Anna Friel has hired a northern nanny so her daughter grows up with an accent.

The actress, 31, from Rochdale, Lancs, has moved to Los Angeles with her Harry Potter star boyfriend David Thewlis, 44, and their two-year-old girl Gracie.

Anna said: “I know my roots and where I’m from - I’m northern and I always will be. Now Gracie’s talking with northern mannerisms.

“She’s like, ‘Eh up, Mummy doesn’t like it like that, Mummy likes things neat in’t trailer’. She’s adorable.”
Former Brookside star Anna has just signed a six-year contract with Golden Globe-nominated hit American show Pushing Daisies, which is coming to ITV this spring.
