Sarah Lancashire was hit with a huge parking fine ahead of the finale of Happy Valley airing on Sunday night.
The actress, who plays no-nonsense Catherine Cawood in the BBC series, looked fuming as she returned to her car in London last week to see a yellow ticket slapped on the window screen.
Dressed in jeans, a blue shirt and a puffer coat similar to the one her on-screen character wears in the crime drama, Sarah, 58, peeled the parking fine off her window before continuing her day.
