Hannah Waddingham ignores the drizzle in a plunging floral print dress as she joins chic Lauren Silverman on day three of Wimbledon

It was a cloudy start to day three of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London.

But the drizzly weather didn’t stop Hannah Waddingham who wowed in a bright summer dress as she arrived for the Centre Court action.

The Ted Lasso star, 49, looked gorgeous in a plunting purple dress, with a bold floral print and halter-neck style which flaunted her toned arms.

Emma Weymouth put on a leggy display in a floral print mini dress, wrapping a tennis jacket around her to keep warm.

Play has been delayed by more than two hours on some courts at SW19, as organisers hope to get matches underway this afternoon. 

Spectators are bracing themselves for more rain throughout the day, despite temperatures reaching a warm high of 19C. 

Wimbledon fans will not have to fear a complete washout however, as the roofs on Centre Court and Court One can be used to enable matches involving stars such as Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka and Jannik Sinner to go ahead.

Play on Wimbledon’s infamous Centre Court is scheduled to see men’s fifth seed Daniil Medvedev play France’s Alexandre Mukker before Naomi Osaka continues her tennis comeback journey with a tough battle against American Emma Navarro.

Elsewhere, on Court No.1, British ace Emma Raducanu faces the experienced Elise Mertens, whilst last year’s male champion Carlos Alcaraz comes up against Australian Aleksandar Vukic and women’s second seed Coco Gauff plays Romanian Anca Todoni.

And it’s shaping up to be a sporty week for Hannah, who is set to perform the National Anthem at the Formula 1 Qatar Airways 2024 British Grand Prix on Sunday. 

The stage and screen star will take to the stage to sing God Save the King at the famous Silverstone racecourse.

In a statement released last week, Hannah said of her upcoming big moment: ‘It’s the most enormous “pinch-me” moment to perform the National Anthem ahead of this year’s race. I feel deeply privileged. 

The atmosphere and excitement at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix last year was utterly electric and I can’t wait to be a part of it again. I am immensely proud of my British roots and I will remember this honour all my life.’

The Emmy winner added went on to pledge her support for British drivers Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Lando Norris.

She said: ”I’ll of course be cheering on our British drivers – The mighty Lewis, George and Lando… C’mon Chaps! Let’s DO this!’
