The Serpent’s Jenna Coleman is spotted with her handsome French accent coach from the show – that wrapped 6 months ago

THE Serpent's Jenna Coleman has been spotted with her handsome French accent coach from the show - six months after filming wrapped.

The 34-year-old actress learned French for her role as Marie-Andrée Leclerc, the besotted lover of serial killer Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim), and helped him carry out his crimes.

The drama ended on BBC One last month after wrapping filming last year but it seems Jenna has stayed in contact with her French accent coach, Fabien Enjalric.

The pair were seen walking in North London with Fabien being the true gent by holding an umbrella over Jenna's head as it started to rain.

Jenna looked as stylish as ever in a long stylish grey coat and carried a Chanel handbag.

The actress smiled up at Fabien as they laughed and chatted during their stroll, while he seemed just as delighted to be in her company.

Jenna has been single since her split from her Victoria co-star Tom Hughes in July last year.

While promoting The Serpent, Jenna revealed how difficult it had been to learn French and work alongside her French co-stars.

She said: "Both her French-Canadian accent when speaking English, and then her French-Canadian accent when speaking French. To try and find that was really hard.

"Many of the actors I was filming with are French themselves, so to try and work authentically within that realm was a big challenge.

"It was probably professionally one of the scariest challenges – to go from learning it from scratch to within two months being on set opposite Tahar and speaking in French.

"A good challenge, but a big challenge."
