An iconic comedian looked unrecognisable as he walked his dog through London’s Theatre Land on Monday.
Cutting a casual figure, she shielded her famous features under a baseball cap and sunglasses as her red hair fell over her shoulders in natural curls.
This funny woman has been nominated for seven BAFTA awards and has had her own BBC sketch series and a spin-off film.
He has appeared in films alongside Tom Hardy, Selena Gomez and Helena Bonham Carter and also played one of Doctor Who’s most beloved characters.
But can you guess who it is?
An iconic comedian looked unrecognisable as he walked his dog around London theatres on Monday – but can you guess who it is?
It’s none other than Catherine Tate, 54, who is best known for her hysterical line “Am I excited?”

The actress was spotted meeting up with friends for a catch-up in central London before sipping on a cold juice on the hottest day of the year.
Catherine rose to fame with a BBC sketch show of the same name from 2004 to 2007, before the foul-mouthed character Nan got her own film in 2022.
She also returned to the role of the beloved Donna Noble in Doctor Who last year after 15 years, in a series of specials alongside David Tennant to celebrate the sci-fi show’s 60th anniversary.
Meanwhile, on the big screen she appeared in Monte Carlo alongside Selena Gomez, Scenes Of A Sexual Nature with Tom Hardy and Sixty Six with Helena Bonham Carter.
It comes after Catherine’s show. The BBC has cancelled the Queen Of Oz series after just one season, according to TV Zone.
The actress played the lead role of Princess Georgina, a royal party girl sent to Australia by her father after making headlines in every tabloid after going from one PR catastrophe to the next.
MailOnline has contacted a BBC representative for comment.

The closure follows a series of ruthless cuts by the broadcaster in its latest attempt to make £500m in savings.
Faced with high inflation and a two-year freeze on the price of television licences, which provide most of the BBC’s funding, the broadcaster is doing everything it can to cut costs.
Before the brutal cull, Catherine praised the broadcaster for giving the show the green light in May last year.
In an interview with VarietyShe said: ‘I think it’s great that the BBC is taking the reins of something as incredible as the coronation, but also saying, I guess, ‘This is a palate cleanser and it’s a comedy’.
When asked if she had anyone in mind when creating the character, she stated that she did not base it on anyone and stated that Queen Georgina is “a completely fictional creation.”
But she did say she sympathised with the royal family, adding: “It must be terrible to be constantly watched and scrutinised.”
She joked: “I can’t imagine anything worse than having to dedicate your life to the public.”
The TV series saw the rebellious Princess get involved in yet another scandal, prompting the King to send her to Australia to act as the country’s monarch.
She hoped this unprecedented move would give her chaotic daughter a sense of responsibility, but as is typical in the sitcom, that didn’t go as planned.
This comes after Catherine’s Queen Of Oz show was cancelled by the BBC after just one season, according to TV Zone (show pictured).
The actress played the lead role of Princess Georgina, a royal party girl sent to Australia by her father after making headlines in all the tabloids.
The axe came in a series of ruthless cuts the broadcaster made in its latest attempt to save £500m.
In the first series alone, we saw the new Queen make her way through the land of Oz.
She wreaked havoc with fires started by discarded cigarettes, erroneous portraits printed on currency and the untimely death of a kangaroo, which only made matters worse for the royals.
This is just one of a string of casualties the BBC has left behind this winter after also cancelling Doctors, Unbeatable and Project Icon.
