Leslie rocked simple grey trainers as she affectionately reached her arms out to one of the cast-members who was perched on the back door of an ambulance.

The mother-of-two, who shares daughters Maude, 23, and Iris, 18, with director husband Judd Apatow, displayed her newly-dyed brunette locks and wore natural make-up as she took a quick break in between takes. 

The rest of the production crew bundled up warm in parka jackets and padded coats as they braved the chilly British weather. 

They were seen wearing face masks to protect against the novel coronavirus.  

Production for the show was initially scheduled to begin last February, but was later postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
