The King Of Queens star looked to be in high spirits as she wore slouchy torn jeans and slip on shoes for the day of pampering.

Wearing a smile on her face she showcased her slim figure in a clingy top, which she tucked under her belt buckle.

Remini is set to publish her book Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology (Ballantine Books) in the US on November 3.

Scientology's ruthless indoctrination, she claims in her memoir includes blackmail and abuse as well as control over other celebrities like Tom Cruise and Kirstie Alley.

It was a difficult decision to make after 30 years as a devout Scientologist, but she says she was willing to face the church blacklisting her in order to escape it – thanks to the help of her close friend, Jennifer Lopez.

'When you leave, you can leave quietly,' Leah said this summer in her reality series It's All Relative. 'But if you make a stink in the public world, they call you a Suppressive Person, which means the church has put a stamp on you that says you are bad.'

'No one is going to tell me how I need to think, no one is going to tell me who I can, and cannot talk to', Remini told People magazine in 2013 when she left the church.

Leah's mother, husband Angelo Pagan and daughter, Sophia were all practicing Scientologists.

'I'm not about to shut up. We stand united, my family and I, and I think that says a lot about who we are and what we're about. We didn't have a choice and there are pretty hard repercussions to leave it', Remini stated in a video clip from her own TLC reality series, Leah Remini: It's All Relative.

'If you are raised in it as a child, you don't have loyalty to your family. The church does come first to you and that is what we would be teaching,' she continued in the same clip from her show.

Remini labels herself a 'troublemaker' in this hotly anticipated look at the church and its hierarchy, in what is also an expose of its most famous members that include Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley.

DailyMail.com has contacted the Church of Scientology for comment regarding the publication of Remini's book.

Previously a spokesperson for the Church Of Scientology gave DailyMail.com the following statement regarding other comments Remini made to the press in May: 'Given Leah Remini's insatiable desire for attention, it comes as no surprise that for two years she has been incapable of moving on with her life and remains obsessed with shamelessly exploiting her former religion in a pathetic attempt to get publicity.'
