But even Anna has been unable to completely ignore the bright lights of Hollywood – and next month she's packing her bags and heading to Los Angeles to star in a TV comedy drama series called Pushing Daisies.

Producers on the show, about a man with the power to bring dead people back to life so he can solve crimes, lured the 31-year-old actress with a six-figure deal.

Unfortunately, Anna will have to leave behind her actor boyfriend David Thewlis, the father of her 18-month-old daughter Gracie.
