Poor old Anna Friel will be suffering a bit of pain behind the eyes today.

Ex-shoes me: Anna Friel looks refreshed as she leaves The Ivy club

The 33-year-old actress had a large one over the weekend, quite literally falling into her car as she left The Ivy in Covent Garden.

"Whoopsie daisy": Anna falls into her waiting car

She went to the restaurant at 7.30pm on Saturday night, and then moved upstairs to the establishment's members' club — and she didn't re-emerge until 2.30am.

An onlooker said: "She left through the back door looking rather unsteady on her feet, and she was carrying her high-heel shoes. She tried to climb over her friend as she got into the back of her taxi, but fell back and just managed to stop herself falling, shouting whoopsie daisy'."

Anna, whose partner is British actor David Thewlis, will play Holly Golightly when the stage production of Breakfast At Tiffany's launches on 9 September at the Theatre Royal. She might want to go lightly on the nights out from now on.
