Emily Atack was showing off her natural beauty as she was seen for the first time since her wedding while leaving a Manchester hotel on Wednesday.
The actress, 36, tied the knot with her partner Alistair Garner in an intimate UK ceremony in late August surrounded by 'close family and friends'.
She is now gearing up for her second more lavish affair in Spain later this month and was out and about running errands in Manchester this week ahead of the nuptials.
Blonde beauty Emily went makeup-free and cut a stylish figure in a £280 patterned dress from Realisation Par which she wore with a beige jacket.
She accessorised perfectly with a Burberry tote bag and huge shades despite the rainy weather.
Emily flashed her wedding and engagement ring as she carried her coffee with her on the outing.

For her first wedding Emily looked stunning in a £2,325 Josephine Scott dress and floor-length veil as she emerged from a church hand-in-hand with her new husband.
The Rivals star wore the brand's Juliette gown, which featured a plunging neckline and lace detailing on the sleeves.
Their celebration continued in their 'dream' countryside home in Bedfordshire, where they had a McDonald's McFlurry ice cream van for guests.
At the time she wrote in her Instagram post announcing the wedding: 'Yesterday we officially got married among close family and friends. It was absolutely perfect.
'I can't believe we get to do all that again in a few weeks time. Christ, we have fun don't we @dralistairgarner.'
Her famous pals were quick to offer their congratulations in the comments as author Elizabeth Day wrote: 'Stunning. So so happy for you both! Congratulations', and Will Manning said: 'go on!!! congratulations.'
She looked gorgeous in the dramatic gown, which featured shoulder pads and was teamed with a long veil and a diamond-encrusted headband.
Alistair, meanwhile, wore a smart black suit and brown shoes as they enjoyed a glass of fizz by the church, before travelling to their wedding breakfast in a vintage silver car.
Earlier this year, Emily shared details of her second wedding as she revealed her special day abroad will be a 'fat, f*** off party'.
She added: 'I think I've nailed it. We're getting married in September. I've very much enjoyed the planning process.'

She went on to tell Luxury London Magazine: 'Choosing napkins and stuff. I'm like, 'My God, my life is here!''
The Rivals star, who has been inspired by the 1980s fashion on the show, is pushing the boat out in all areas and will also be opting for a 'big' wedding dress.
Discussing her plans for a show-stopping gown, she told Grazia magazine: 'Since Rivals, in terms of fashion, I tend to go quite big now generally.'
After much speculation about the location of their September nuptials, Emily revealed she would be marrying Alistair 'abroad', which is thought to be somewhere in Spain.
Emily shared her delight over marrying Alistair, 40, telling the publication: 'Life is good. It doesn't get much better than where I am now.'
The mother of one, who has a two-year-old son, Barney, with Alistair, got engaged to the scientist in July 2025, having welcomed their son the year before.
