Cold Feet star Helen Baxendale packs on the PDA with her husband | Daily Mail Online

Cold Feet star Helen Baxendale is keen to show she's still got the hots for her husband.

The actress, 52, married film-director husband David Williams almost 30 years ago, but they appeared to be in the first throes of passion as she gazed adoringly into his eyes at a cafe called Love My Human, in Chelsea, West London.

Even when Williams took a call on his mobile phone, Baxendale embraced him enthusiastically.

Helen, who is best known for her role as Rachel Bradley in the ITV drama, donned a stylish black and yellow tartan coat as she chatted to her husband during the low-key outing.

The British star, who famously played Ross Gellar's second wife Emily Waltham in the sitcom Friends, gazed lovingly at her spouse as they relaxed together. 

'They couldn't keep their hands off each other,' an onlooker told The Daily Mail's Richard Eden.

Helen played the role of Rachel during Cold Feet's original run, but was killed off during the show's fifth series after her character was killed in a car accident.

She famously hit the headlines when she refused to fly to America to reprise her role as Emily in Friends because she was bringing up her baby, meaning her storyline was cut prematurely short.

Last year, The Mail On Sunday revealed that Helen had left four sisters 'high and dry' when she offered an extra £200,000 for a £1.7million, eight-bedroom home, only to then 'stop replying', meaning the sale fell through.

The actress even wrote a personal note to say she loved the eight-bedroom Queen Anne home, and how much her three children would enjoy living there. 

The siblings expressed their frustration and anger about the couple's behaviour after they were left 'high and dry', and forced to accept a 'significantly lower' offer after putting it back up for sale.

One of the sisters, Julie Lynn Evans, a child psychologist, told The Mail on Sunday: 'We'd already agreed another offer but there was a mortgage on the property which had been taken out to pay for our late father's care home fees, and it was costing us £8,000 a month.

Because David and Helen offered so much more, and wanted to move really fast, we were happy to accept despite it involving us going back on our word to sell it to another buyer.

Now, because they delayed and then effectively pulled out, we’ve lost a significant amount of money. We can’t believe anyone could behave so badly.
