She's been busy promoting her new ITVX series Nolly this week.

And Helena Bonham Carter looked stylish as she headed to the BBC Radio 2 studios for Zoe Ball's Breakfast Show on Friday morning.

The actress, 56, who portrays Crossroads star Noele Gordon in the miniseries, opted for a long green dress for the outing.

Over the top to keep her warm she wore a long black coat and had a grey shawl over her shoulders. 

She completed her look with comfortable black trainers and toted a large red handbag with her.

She wore her hair pinned up with silver clips and wore a black neckerchief around her neck as she beamed away. 

Also seen heading to the radio studios on Friday morning was Richard E Grant who looked smart in a black padded jacket.  

In Nolly Helena portrays the life of Crossroads star Noele Gordon. The show is set for release sometime this year. 

Gushing about her role Helena has previously said: 'When I read the script, it was like a gift. A dream. It's like meeting someone and falling in love.

'I watched Crossroads. So I knew Noele Gordon as a figure, but I hadn't really taken on board the sacking.' 

The three-part miniseries, penned by Russell T Davies, will explore the all-powerful reign and fall from grace of the inimitable Noele, who died in 1985.

Noele was declared the 'Queen of the Midlands' thanks to iconic role as Meg Mortimer in Crossroads and was the darling of the establishment until it turned on her.

As flame-haired widow Meg in the long-running soap opera Crossroads, Noele became one of the most famous people in Britain.

Then in 1981, at the height of the show's success and the peak of her fame, she was axed without ceremony, without warning and with no explanation, with the soap eventually ending two years later.

With the boss's words 'all good things must come to an end' ringing in her ears, Noele found herself thrown out of the show that was her life for over 18 years.

A love letter to a legend of television, and to the madcap soap she starred in, Nolly will be an entertaining ride through Noele's most tumultuous years, and a sharp, affectionate and heart-breaking portrait of a forgotten icon.
