Anna FrielAnna FrielKnow those girls from high school who were, like, popular with everyone?

Well, that's how we imagine Anna Friel must feel at the moment.

Just who's showing her the love?

The US of A, that's who.

Because we heard some news around the former Brookside star that has us so chuffed we feel like dancing on the ceiling.

OK, we'll leave that to Lionel Richie...

But the news is that Anna's set to star opposite American star Will Ferrell in the adventure fantasy Land Of The Lost, reports Reuters.

Anna will be playing Will's love interest in the movie.

Now, call us sentimental, but she was also recently nominated for a Golden Globe for the US series Pushing Daisies, so we think it's fair to say she's doing Blighty very proud across the pond.

Forgive us while we have a moment...
