Kapow! Curvy actress Hayley Atwell has shattered the fragile hopes of a thousand comic-book geeks.

London-born Hayley, now a big noise in Hollywood thanks to her role as Marvel comics character Peggy Carter, says she refuses to do nude scenes even when the director insists.

At an Entertainment Weekly panel at San Diego Comic-Con, she remarked: ‘It often involves me just going: “I don’t think she would be naked in this scene. There’s no need for that and I’m not doing it just to fulfil your weird little fantasy.”’

Atwell went to West London’s Sion-Manning Roman Catholic Girls’ School. So pimply fans can blame her bashfulness on the nuns.

Hidden message on bride Hilton's heels

Hotel heiress Nicky Hilton’s wedding to James Rothschild was a typically restrained affair. The bride’s Valentino gown alone was said to have cost £50,000.

Thanks to her sister Paris’s fondness for social media, we now learn that buried beneath that enormous bridal train was a rather natty pair of trotters, custom-made by fancy French cobbler Christian Louboutin, bearing Nicky’s new name, ‘Mrs Rothschild’, and her wedding date.

Paris also posted a touching snap of the sisters preparing for the big day in a suite in Claridge’s hotel in Mayfair. Presumably the nearby Hilton was fully booked.

As a former chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, Sir Michael Pakenham is a grand fromage in the spook community. But even he is not immune to being hacked by pesky email bandits. Friends of Sir Michael, 71, son of Lord Longford, recently received a dramatic email claiming great woe and distress — mugged on holiday, face beaten to a pulp, please wire fat loads of cash to said account, blah blah blah. Pakenham assures me no one fell for the scam, which is hardly surprising. The email’s sign off: ‘I’m freaked out at the moment guys,’ is hardly the parlance of a distinguished diplomat.

Champagne corks are popping at Glyndeboune, and not just down on the main lawn. The opera festival’s chairman, Gus Christie, has just welcomed a baby boy with soprano Danielle de Niese. Gus, who has four children from his previous marriage, met her at Glyndebourne in 2005 and they wed in 2009. Danielle isn’t taking lengthy maternity leave — she plans to honour a performance at the last night of the Proms in September.
