ACTRESS Olivia Williams is itching to get back into costume to resume filming of British flick Cromwell And Fairfax.

As we revealed earlier this month, the project was battling to stay afloat after financial backing fell through. Now Olivia - who will star alongside Dougray Scott and Rupert Everett in the English Civil War epic - tells us:

"I got a call saying the filming is back on. I think it's due to start next Tuesday." At Tuesday's post-premiere party at No 32 Craven Street for The Royal Tenenbaums, Olivia, 33, also confessed she doesn't mind suffering for her part as the manipulative Lady Anne Fairfax.

"I did three years in period costume with the RSC and Emma on TV and now it's into corsets again - I've got the bruises to prove it, she added, hitching up her top. "It's not so bad when you're standing up but sitting down is awful."
