Her role in Downton Abbey may have given her profile a boost.

But Joanne Froggatt, 36, still had to put in the hard work on the set of her latest project 'Liar', with the star visibly shaking in the freezing conditions by the sea in Kent.

As the rain poured down, Joanne took shelter underneath an umbrella kindly held by a member of the crew.

Rain, rain, go away! Joanne Froggatt, 36, put in the hard work on the set of her latest project Liar, with the star visibly shaking in the freezing conditions by the sea in Kent

She wrapped up in a large black coat and pulled up the fur-lined hood over her blonde locks.

The star held a silver thermos, no doubt filled with a hot beverage to make the process slightly more bearable.

There was barely any relief when the rain eventually did let up, as the biting wind coming off the water had Joanne and her co-star Zoe Tapper, 35, bouncing up and down on their toes.

Zoe's hair blew wildly in the wind, while Joanne clenched her hand in a fist and looked frozen through.

Handsome Ioan Gruffudd, 43, could be seen striding across the set in a navy jumper and coat, with a slight grimace on his face no doubt caused by the weather.

Set against the backdrop of marshland, beached boats and an overcast sky, the scenes certainly had a bleak feel.

Liar is a new six part series from ITV created and written by BAFTA-nominated producers and screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams.

It tells the story of a night that changes the lives of Laura Newell (Joanne) and Andrew Ellis (Ioan) forever.

Laura is a smart and dedicated teacher, not long out of a relationship and unsure about getting back on the dating scene.

Andrew is a renowned surgeon whose son is a pupil at Laura’s school, and following an initial encounter the two pursue a romance.

They begin dating, but neither fully realises consequences their meeting will have on each other or their families, as truth and consequences appear hand-in-hand.

The broody and dramatic thriller explores both sides of a relationship, and both sides of the truth.
