Natalie Cassidy put on a casual display as she enjoyed a morning walk with her sister-in-law Linda.
The actress, 42, is best known for her role as the trumpet-playing Sonia Fowler in EastEnders.
She was seen taking a break from recording her popular podcast as she enjoyed a hike in the Hertfordshire countryside with her sister-in-law Linda Cassidy on Tuesday.
Natalie was all smiles as she enjoyed her walk, dressed all in black and sporting a H&M ‘simplicite’ logo sweatshirt.
Meanwhile in comparison, Linny opted for an all-white look consisting of a half-zip sweater and tracksuit bottoms.
It comes after Natalie revealed that she only did her weight loss DVDs for the cash as she got candid about her body image.

Natalie has been the face of two different workout videos, Then & Now and The Perfect Ten, and she has revealed in recent years she was paid £100,000 to lose the weight for the films.
Now, speaking to Radio Times, Natalie has shared that the DVD was ‘not a good move’ and admitted she only did it for the cash.
She said: ‘The DVD wasn’t a good move for me – I did it for the money. I’m now 42, and to be honest, I could be doing a bit more exercise at the moment, but I just can’t be bothered.
‘I think, “If this is the size I’m meant to be, then I need to be happy with that”.’
Natalie added: ‘I don’t overeat. I enjoy my food. I like a glass of wine. I like a packet of crisps, but you can’t do it every day.
‘I think everything in moderation. If I go the other way and want to lose a lot of weight, my days aren’t as good.’
Natalie has recently bagged herself a brand new job at Virgin Radio, ahead of her long-awaited exit from EastEnders after three decades.
She has starred as Sonia Fowler on the popular BBC One soap for 32 years, first appearing in 1993 when she was just 10 years old.

However, she announced she would be bidding goodbye to Albert Square for good in January after returning last year for the 40th anniversary, with her final scenes set to air on the show on Thursday’s episode.
But it seems she’s already made huge strides with her post-EastEnders career, taking to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal she’s heading to the airwaves with her own Easter show.
Speaking from the Virgin Radio studios, Natalie told fans that she would be hosting a special one-off show on Easter Monday from 1pm until 4pm.
She has already won many fans with her foray into the podcast world with Off The Telly, which she hosts with Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page.
Ahead of the show, the soap star explained that she was trying to ‘branch out’ this year and be ‘brave’, as she gushed she was ‘honoured’ to get the opportunity.
Natalie said: ‘I’m very excited. This year I’m trying to branch out and do brave things, and this is one of them.
‘I feel very honoured to have been given a chance on Virgin Radio. I’m a very big fan of the station and music in general.
‘So to actually come in and do my own show feels very daunting, but there’s a first time for everything.’
