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!”
