Martine teamed her look with a pair of skinny jeans as she strolled forth in studded sandals which showed off her foot tattoo.

While Martine has been married to singer Jack McManus since 2012, she couldn't help but gush over her former Love Actually co-star Hugh Grant recently.

'I won’t be mysterious... he was fabulous, I’m not going to lie,' she gushed. 'At first he was polite and I thought posh boys aren’t very good kissers...but then when [director] Richard Curtis said to him go for it - oh did he!'
