Danniella Westbrook showed off her stunning new look after threatening to sue EastEnders after another star replaced her on the BBC show.
The 48-year-old took some time to go shopping as she enjoyed a day out on Wednesday in Leeds.
She looked fresh-faced as she strolled past several shops holding two brown paper bags.
The actress kept it casual in black sweatpants, a grey hoodie and white trainers.
Danniella kept her medium length hair flowing down and kept it in place with a black baseball cap.
She seemed to be in high spirits as she smiled and posed for the cameras.
At the end of January, the soap actress revealed that she plans to sue the BBC.
She was originally cast to play Sam Mitchell at the heart of the Walford based drama as the daughter of Albert Square matriarch Peggy Mitchell, back in the 1990s.
After she exited the show, which was during her drug addiction, her role was recast.
Kim Medcalf took over her character before Danniella briefly returned for a few episodes in 2009 and was last seen on screen in 2016.
However, the character's 'explosive return' has irritated Danniella, who has made a few scathing remarks against the supposed snub.
Taking to Twitter she claimed the BBC soap would be hearing from her 'legal team' and also hinted at future revelations that she has 'never told' in her upcoming book.
Danniella's tweet read: "Well well well who knew [laughing emojis] all I can say is thanks looks like I dodged a bullet."
She then added: "Oh but not to @BBCEastEnders my legal team will be in touch to know why when I held the... @bbceastenders contract too the last two times the character bounced in &out on a ratings or stint.

"For the record I was never sacked or dismissed and saw out both contracts one of them even being extended for episodes."
And the claims didn't end there as she launched into a tirade against the 'top of the show' as the bitter rant continued.
"It’s great 2 C the same level of care standards & loyalty 2'@bbceastenders you bang on about having and giving to both new & old members of cast is still going as strong then as it always has… not just me as Sam that needs replacing I’d look closer to the top of the show and cut that dead wood after all it’s all about evolving."
She signed off the post: "Bet you all can't wait for my new book now can ya ….. oh it's gonna go way back to the things I've never ever told #beafraidpeople #itsallgood".
The star later hit out at the BBC and claimed they lacked courtesy and consideration for her health when they snubbed her.
