Gemma Arterton back to work and smiling amid reports of marriage breakdown

Gemma Arterton put on a brave face in the wake of news that her marriage has broken down. The former Bond girl was back to work and smiling as she headed the BBC Radio One studios in London to join presenter Nick Grimshaw on his breakfast show. Despite reports that her two year marriage to Stefano Catelli is over, the British actress kept her cool and like any guest on the show, she couldn't resist a photo booth snapshot with the DJ.

The actress clearly made a good impression as Manchester-born Nick posted the image on his twitter account with the comment "We loved Gemma Arterton and her 110% mega babe ways - here's the #InstaGrim photos from our booth!" While on the show Gemma discussed her latest film role. Gravesend-born Gemma hits screens at the end of February in Hansel and Gretel, Witch Hunters, in which she stars alongside Jeremy Renner in a follow-on from the traditional fairytale story. Gemma, 27, wore a chic grey outfit punctuated with colourful accessories. Beneath her knee-length grey skirt the star wore pointed pink heels which matched a similarly-hued bag and bright lipstick.

Wearing her brunette locks in a practical updo Gemma also protected herself from the cold in a stylish grey overcoat complete with a high collar. Gemma also put her heartbreak behind her at Sunday's BAFTA awards. She stepped out at the awards just days after the sad news broke. Speaking to the Mail, a friend said the Tamara Drew star was "devastated" by the break-up, adding "It's sad but her marriage is over." The couple reportedly made the mutual decision to go their separate ways a couple of months ago.

In 2009, shortly after appearing in Quantum of Solace alongside Daniel Craig, Gemma began dating handsome fashion executive Stefano, now 40. He quickly proposed at a summer music festival, and in June 2010 the pair tied the knot in secret in the beautiful village of Zuheros in Andalucia. Clutching a bouquet of white roses, the English actress wore a cream gown and a veil as she exchanged vows in front of a select number of guests. Since then, the couple maintained a relatively low-profile, and recently Gemma has been pictured out and about on a number of occasion without Stefano.
