Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe battled blustery conditions while visiting a restaurant for lunch in Manchester on Saturday.

It was Jennifer’s accessories that stole the show in her outfit as she paired a pair of chunky gold hoop earrings with stylish gold-rimmed square sunglasses.

The look was rounded off with some red lipstick and a small handbag.

The mother-of-one, who was out alone that day, looked in high spirits as she made her way to the trendy hotspot.

It comes after Jennifer revealed that as a single mom she would love to have more children “while her parts still work” and that she is also “very interested in adoption”.

The stunning brunette shares her five-year-old son Daye with her ex-partner Greg Lake.

The star, who has a nanny who helps with childcare, recently admitted she would love to be an older mum, insisting she “wouldn’t rule it out at 50”.

Jennifer is currently “super single” after splitting from Oldham Athletic player Chris Eagles, 36, last September.

Jennifer revealed she would love to have more children, telling The Sun: “As long as my parts are still working I wouldn’t rule it out at 50! I’ve actually always been very interested in adoption and would do so as a single parent.”

“Daye lives near Manchester with Jennifer but sees his father in Newcastle every other weekend and during the school holidays.”

Discussing the end of her romantic relationship with Greg, the soap star insisted she never wants them to feel “separated” because of their son.

She explained, “There was no bad energy [at the end] and I don’t even like using the term “split up”. We will never be separated, we are family and always will be.

“I never want us to feel divided, for Daye, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure that.” It was a case of, ‘This is us now and how do we do this gear change and not let Daye feel it?’.

Jennifer announced in August 2020 that she had secretly split from her ex Greg after an eight-year romance.

Seemingly another victim of the lockdown, Jennifer confirmed on Instagram that the couple had secretly split a few months earlier.
