Keira sported a dark green overcoat with a navy blue sweater peering out from underneath as snow fell on the production.

Her dark brown hair was worn short and tightly curled, and her makeup was kept simple with a red lip and bold brows.

She carried a brown leather purse across her shoulder while chatting with a few co-stars on set.

She is married to Klaxons musician James Righton and they share two daughters, Edie, six and Delilah, two – who she revealed fared better than her.

She said of her asymptomatic husband: ‘[He is] being very smug about it – he is convinced it’s because he’s one of those cold-water swimmers and I’m not.’

The actress admitted she was ‘feeling pretty rubbish.’

A rep for the actress told PEOPLE that Keira and her husband were fully vaccinated and completed their required 10 days in quarantine.
