The Office's Lucy Davis goes out without her wedding ring for the first time since splitting with husband Owain Yeoman

She separated from her husband of four years in February and now Lucy Davis has been photographed for the first time since without her wedding ring.

The Office star, who played Dawn on the hit series, looked glum as she made a quick visit to a fast food restaurant by herself in Los Angeles before returning home to enjoy her meal.

The 38-year-old actress made the outing in baggy grey tracksuit bottoms and oversized sunglasses to disguise her pain.

Lucy has stayed out of the spotlight since announcing her split from Welsh actor Owain Yeoman, 32, who she wed at St Paul’s Cathedral in December 2006 after a six-month romance.

After their whirlwind romance, Lucy and Owain put on an extravagant ceremony that saw 300 guests watch them walk down the aisle.

They were allowed to marry at St Paul’s Cathedral because Davis’ father, comedian Jasper Carrott, has an OBE.

But in February they released a statement saying: ‘We have separated but are on good terms and would kindly ask for our privacy to be respected during this time.’

A source then revealed: ‘They have had troubles in their marriage before but this split looks like the end. Owain won’t talk about it and Lucy is devastated.

‘Owain has already moved out of the marital home and he appears to have moved on.  He has been seen out and about in Hollywood with other girls.’

The actors met each other in Los Angeles after both moving to the US to pursue their acting careers and shared a two-bedroom cottage in the city’s trendy Larchmont Village area.

Despite her marriage breakdown, Davis’ acting career is still going from strength to strength and has a thriller/comedy coming out this year titled Some Guy Who Kills People.

But she is still best known for her role in Ricky Gervais’s comedy The Office, in which she played lovelorn secretary Dawn, whose long flirtation with sales rep Tim – played by Martin Freeman – eventually resulted in them kissing during the final series.

The actress has battled through health problems during her career though and in 1997 had a kidney transplant, using an organ donated by her mother, Hazel.

And in 2005 she was admitted back to hospital with kidney failure but made a full recovery.
