Actor Jenna Coleman unveils a new look for her starring role in a new Channel 4 comedy drama.
Blackpool-born Jenna takes top billing in Number 10, written by former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat. Jenna - who worked with Moffat when she starred in Doctor Who - plays the deputy chief of staff to Rafe Spall's Prime Minister.
And to complement the role, Jenna showed off a new business-like outfit befitting her role as the PM's advisor.
No broadcast date for the show has been revealed but a Channel 4 spokesman said: "There's a Prime Minister in the attic, a coffee bar in the basement and a wallpapered labyrinth of romance, crisis and heartbreak in between."
Speaking about her new role, Jenna said: "I thought it was about time I visited another British institution with Steven Moffat. I'm very much looking forward to moving into Number 10 with Steven's cracking scripts."

Rafe added: "Number 10 is a sensational piece of writing, equal to its peerless author Steven Mofat. I'm delighted to be playing the Prime Minister in a funny, real and thrilling piece of TV."
Forty year-old Jenna is a former Arnold School head girl and her dad, Keith, was a joiner. At just 10, she performed in a professional production of Summer Holiday at Blackpool Opera House.
She turned down a place to study English at York University to star as Jasmine Thomas in Emmerdale.
