She’s been back to work on Mission Impossible 7 after production was paused by a COVID-19 outbreak.

And Vanessa Kirby ensured she was ready to head back to set as she was swabbed for the virus after arriving in Venice on Thursday.

The Crown star, 32, wrapped up in a thick black padded coat and a slogan jumper as she prepared to get back on set to complete the Tom Cruise blockbuster.

Vanessa cut a stylish figure in the cosy black coat which she teamed with a jumper embroidered with the year 1970.

The actress accessorised her look with skintight leggings and Nike trainers, along with a matching face mask as she strolled through the city.

Vanessa was preparing to head back to set to resume filming on Mission Impossible 7, which had been halted after an outbreak of 12 positive tests of COVID-19.

Health chiefs were said to be tracing the contacts of those who tested positive after filming was suspended, dashing hopes it was an isolated case.

It appeared to be yet another blow for the action movie franchise after filming was suspended earlier this year during the first European wave of coronavirus when cases rose sharply in Italy. 

In October The Sun reported 150 extras for the film were informed they were not to come in to shoot scenes that were on the filming schedule for the evening.

While no official reason was given for the sudden decision, it was claimed a coronavirus test had come back positive from the production so filming needed to be suspended temporarily.

A source speaking to the publication claimed: ‘There are about 150 extras involved in the filming and late on Thursday they were all told not to turn up for work and they would be notified when they would be allowed back on set. 

‘No official reason has been given but it’s feared it’s down to COVID and this will be the second time the production has been hit because of the virus.’ 

However filming has now resumed in Venice, with star Tom seen in the midst of a dramatic action scene in the city on Wednesday night.
