Roxanne Pallett rocks a trendy leather jacket and tight trousers while filming with a muscular co-star in Essex - MO

She's tackled a wide variety of roles since leaving Emmerdale in 2008.

And Roxanne Pallett, 33, was on the set of her latest project in Essex on Saturday, alongside a muscular co-star.

The beauty wore a trendy black leather jacket over a white top which she teamed with black skinny trousers and matching ankle boots.

The actress's shoulder-length brunette locks blew in the wind as she sauntered with a black bag over her shoulder.

She sported a pale pink lipstick for the shoot, while her complexion looked typically flawless.

Roxanne walked beside a shaven-headed hunk with a dark, rugged beard. His muscular frame boasted a tribal sleeve, and he braved the cool weather in a vest top and a pair of Adidas joggers.

The 33-year-old will be starring alongside X Factor star Ray Quinn in a touring stage production about fictional New Jersey wedding singer Robbie Hart.

Set in the Eighties and kicking off in Leicester in February 2017, Roxanne plays Holly, who is trying to help Robbie back into the limelight.

It's not the only job that Roxanne has come across in the last 12 months, because she also achieved two other major gigs in Neil LaBute's Some Girls, as well as new horror film, Habit.

'I was sat at home for a year wondering when is the phone gonna ring,' she previously explained. 'I was saying, "Mum, when is the phone gonna ring?" Then three jobs came along at once. You couldn't write it!'

Roxanne left the soap character Jo Sugden behind in 2008 after three years, she then played a school girl 10 years her junior on Waterloo Road and went on to feature in Casualty in two roles.
