Anna Friel Hires A Northern Nanny

British actress Anna Friel moved to Los Angeles two years ago with Harry Potter star David Thewlis and their two-year-old daughter Gracie, she's just signed a new six-and-a-half-year contract with hit US TV series Pushing Daisies which comes to ITV this spring.

The star, who's originally from Rochdale, has employed a nanny from the North of England so Gracie doesn't forget where she comes from.

She told Closer magazine: "I know my roots and where I'm from - I'm northern and I always will be. Now Gracie's talking with northern mannerisms. She's like: 'Eh up, Mummy doesn't like it like that, Mummy likes things neat int trailer.' She's adorable."

Anna admits she was homesick when the family first made the move but she now dreads the thought of coming back to the UK.

She adds: “I want Gracie to be settled and that means we're staying here for now - she's going to be in school soon. I need to let her have time to grow."
