Keira Knightly was in a refreshing mood on Tuesday morning, as she stuck by the side of husband James Righton.

The couple were blending in with the East Londoners, looking cool in matching black ensembles at Victoria Park while they enjoyed some stolen time alone.

Keira's good mood comes after her stalker Mark Revill appeared in court on Monday accused of bombarding the actress with messages at her home.

Now awaiting sentencing in December, Revill, 49, admitted to following the Hollywood star for three months, making repeated trips to their London home.

The court heard this week that Revill was finally chased away by the star’s husband, musician James.

The court heard he also sent her a USB with cat-themed music on it and a picture of three cats winking.

Keira looked surprisingly upbeat during her walk with James though, smiling gleefully when she took off her geeky spectacles.

She wore her hands in the pockets of her oversized jacket and left her hair loose with minimal make-up on.

It was perhaps an opportunity for the pair to catch up in the absence of their one-year-old daughter Edie.

It was only last month that Keira told Harper's Bazaar that she's often the target of hurtful comments during days out with her family.

She said: 'Yesterday I had two really lovely people come up to me in the street and just say how much they like my work, which almost never happens.

'[The angry ones] are very odd... It feels like you're not meant to be walking down the street doing your shopping. Or they just hate your work, in which case they say, "I hate your work". Or they hate your face, in which case they say, "I hate your face".

'But it's more like a kind of jokey, "Oh God, I've always hated you" Or, "I've always found your face so annoying".
