SOAP star Natalie Anderson has been taking the phrase “chilling out” a little too literally with an ice cold dip in a bikini
The actress, best known for starring in Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, shared the moment she tried cold therapy for the first time – with the results positively chilling.

She seemed to be having a blast though, with the star beaming as she posed for pictures.
“Bring on the snow!,” she wrote. “I dipped my toe into cold therapy and I actually really loved it!”
“Ok I bottled out of a Boxing Day plunge but I’m definitely out this year for some cold water dips! @happihealings you’re in charge of this!”
She also revealed it had a surprise effect on her mental health, revealing: “Anxiety is a bugger and when it’s bad making friends with the cold is a great way to curb it.
“So this year I’ll be trying to find my inner Elsa.
…let’s see how many cold water dips I can rack up this 2023.”
Cold therapy has become increasingly common for aching and tense muscles, reducing inflammation. As a result, athletes like footballers are known to have ice baths after training.
It’s also believed it may have a positive effect on metabolism, higher energy levels and focus.
Natalie is best known for playing Alicia Metcalfe in Emmerdale, leaving the soap in 2015 when her character left for a new life in Portugal.
In 2021, she joined the cast of Hollyoaks as DS Lexi Calder, but was killed off in September 2022 as the final victim of twisted serial killer Silas Bissett.
