Kate Beckinsale took a smoke break while sporting a pregnant prosthetic belly on the set of Amazon and ITV's upcoming eight-episode thriller The Widow in Cape Town on Tuesday.

The 44-year-old SAG Award nominee puffed away on a cigarette while clad in a large white hospital gown and black Ugg boots in between scenes of the show, which will also shoot in Wales and Rotterdam.

According to Deadline, the Only Living Boy in New York actress portrays Georgia Wells, a woman who returns to the African Congo and her old life when she sees her 'late' husband on the news.

On Wednesday, wisecracking Beckinsale - who boasts 2.3M social media followers - shared a behind-the-scenes snap of herself 'culling unsolicited penis photos from her DMs.'

When Kate gifted her comedian gal pal Sarah Silverman custom M&M's emblazoned with their (shared) ex-partner Michael Sheen as a gag gift following their Christmas split, some took it too seriously.

'THIS WAS A JOKE!' the 47-year-old funnywoman clarified of previously calling the London-born lady 'cruel.'
