Roxanna Pallett proves she still looks stunning even when her face is covered in blood.

The British actress was pictured on the set of her new horror flick, Habit, in Manchester on Wednesday as she prepared to film a messy scene.

Roxanne, 33, was wrapped up in a white dressing gown which kept her costume hidden, while she sporting a copious amount of fake blood across her mouth, neck and cheeks.

The former Emmerdale star was all smiles as she spoke with the film crew and chugged down a bottle of water.

At the end of April she announced, ‘Thrilled to be joining an awesome cast & creative team on new film HABIT @SimeonH’. 

She then added: ‘All set to start shooting this little beauty on Monday. Get ready Manchester… HABIT is coming!’

The film is written by Simeon Halligan and based on the novel of the same name by Stephen McGeagh. 

Just weeks ago when she filmed an analysis of how the elderly get treated in society by transforming into an old woman.

After undergoing four hours of prosthetics and make-up, the actress finally became 'Doris' and mentioned: 'It was a pretty brutal experience. I thought it was going to be fun and exciting but it just wasn't.'

She also mentioned that she felt 'invisible' after going undercover for BBC Radio 5 Live.

'I only went through it for a few hours but it's left me with a really heavy heart,' said Roxanne- who is an ambassador for Age UK.

Continuing about her experience and the lack of help she received, she mentioned: 'No one was assisting me and it was obvious I needed help. 'One man barged me when I was walking down the street, it was like I didn't matter.

'There's a lot of chivalry out there but it doesn't seem to apply to older people and that's not right and it's not fair.'

Since leaving Emmerdale in 2008, Roxanne has appeared in the stage production of the Rocky Horror Show and is set to star in the British film The Violaters this coming June.
