Fans of James Martin's Saturday Morning were left taken aback after an appearance from Scots actress Laura Main, who looked very different to her usual TV character.
Laura, who was born in Aberdeen, plays Shelagh Turner in the long-running period drama Call The Midwife - and has appeared on every series since it began in 2012.
Chatting to the chef on his ITV show on Saturday, March 18, she looked worlds apart from her usual 1960s mother character, as she donned a stunning outfit worth £1000.
My London reports that she discussed her current job touring the UK in a production of the play Steel Magnolias, wearing a stylish jumper and skirt combo with some high-heeled boots.
The actress shared an Instagram post thanking James Martin and ITV for having her on the show. She wrote: "Being cooked for is one of my favourite things, and it doesn’t get better than being cooked for by @jamesmartinchef!
"Thank you so much for having me on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, on this morning on ITV1 now until 11.40am. I’m taking about @steelmagnoliasplay and of course @callthemidwife.official. And the food was delicious!"
Almost unrecognisable from Shelagh Turner, Laura's hair was styled in a short blown-out look and she sported a natural yet glam makeup look. She wore a £455 midi skirt from designer Anna Mason paired with a £545 cream jumper from the same brand, making her outfit worth a whopping £1000.
Fans were very complimentary about the Call the Midwife star after her appearance on the show, with one calling her a "pretty lady". Another wrote: "Looking gorgeous as always!"
Others also thanked the TV show for including Laura as a guest as she is so "engaging". James Martin's Saturday Morning returns to screens at 9.25am on Saturday, March 25.
