How do you celebrate your parents' 50th wedding anniversary? Traditionally, it's giving a gift made of gold, but if you're Anna Friel then dressing up as a superhero for the day is de rigueur.
The 46-year-old actress appeared in a metallic blue leotard and red cape looking somewhere between Wonder Woman and Supergirl. She sported a glam makeup palette, which consisted of a bronzed base and a smokey blue eye look. Someone's going to a fancy dress gathering,' says Anna, whose parents Desmond and Julie are both retired teachers. She told her 212k Instagram followers: 'It's in honour of my parents' visit before they head off to Australia to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Love you mama and papa' Anna is known for roles on British soap Brookside and US comedy-drama Pushing Daisies.
The actress shares daughter Gracie, 17, with Harry Potter star David Thewlis, 59, who she split from in 2010 after almost a decade together. It comes after her ex Toby Anstis claimed he could now be married to her after she propositioned him in the 90s, but said he lost out to love rat Darren Day. The TV presenter, 51, has revealed that the Marcella star chatted him up during the 90's while at a party and asked him to stay out that night - but when he went for a drink, Darren swooped in and went on to date her for three years. And the hapless radio DJ claims that while he dated Cassie Bancroft a year ago, he is still single because Tinder has banned his profile, believing it to be fake.
Toby said during the Diary of a Name Dropper podcast: 'Even thinking about it I'm still bitter about this....Darren Day' The Heart Dance host explained how he and Anna were having a few drinks and were 'getting on really really well.' He said: 'I did feel there was a bit of chemistry and then she asked me, "you're not going back to London tonight?" and I said "yeah I'm on tele tomorrow afternoon and she said "no stay up the night and go back in the morning."' Shocked Toby continued: 'I just went bl**dy hell all of me is thinking Jesus Christ I've been chatted up and asked to stay up here whether she meant stay at her place, one would hope, but I didn't know what that meant, but I thought I'd stay up.'
As Toby went to get the pair a drink Darren moved in on Anna which the star is convinced his 'management thought it would be a good publicity thing.' As he returned he witness the pair getting on and 'the next day they were all over the papers, but she asked me to stay the night before you Darren.' Despite the couple being together for three years and becoming engaged Toby still seemed a little irked.
