Gemma was promoting the launch of British Airway's new red carpet route to Los Angeles and passengers will be able to fly to Tinseltown in the company's new Airbus A380.

The carrier is launching special flight prices for the route which are due to be scheduled to commence in October.

Speaking about the new flight Gemma said: 'Working in film means that I spend a lot of time travelling around the world, often to Los Angeles. It's essential to arrive feeling fresh and ready for the day ahead, as I often hit the ground running, and I prefer to travel in style with British Airways.'

'It's very exciting that the A380 will be flying to Los Angeles. I think the red carpet route will be very popular.'

It was recently revealed that while the star is busy promoting several different films, she is suffering heartache in her personal life after splitting from husband of two years Stefano Catelli.

The Quantum Of Solace actress is said to be devastated by the break-up and a friend revealed: 'It's sad, but her marriage is over.'

The pal added: 'Gemma thought Stefano was the one. He really wore the trousers in the relationship, such was her devotion to him. It happened a couple of months ago. It was a mutual decision.'

She first began dating Italian Stefano, 40, who works for a British fashion marketing company, in 2009, and the couple married a year later.
