Opting for comfort, the screen star wrapped up against the chilly climes in thick tights and a thick purple scarf.

The Islington native added a touch of sporty chic into her appearance by rounding off her outfit with classic canvas trainers.

With her tresses scraped into a high bun, the brunette covered her mouth in a protective face mask.

The thespian’s appearance came after it was announced that she and David Mitchell have joined the stellar cast on BBC One’s new comedy series, The Cleaner. 

The sitcom has been written by The Inbetweeners star Greg Davies, who will play the lead role of cleaning technician Paul ‘Wicky’ Wickstead.

Screenwriter Greg said he is ‘thrilled’ Helen who has just scooped a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Princess Margaret in The Crown, and Peep Show’s David, 46, will star in the series. 

The Cleaner is based on the multi award winning long-running German comedy series Der Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner) created by Ingrid Lausund.

It will follow Paul ‘Wicky’ (Greg), who is a crime scene cleaner responsible for the removal of any signs of death.   

Armed with chemicals, scrubbing brushes and cleaning rags, Wicky removes the gruesome mess at the scene of the crime. 

When carrying out his duties, he stumbles across the strangest of people: from the victim’s relatives, employers, neighbours and acquaintances, to occasionally even the murderers themselves.   

Starring alongside Helena, Greg and David is Stephanie Cole (Still Open All Hours), Donald Sumpter (Game Of Thrones) and Shobu Kapoor (Four Weddings and a Funeral).
