Gemma Arterton braved the rainy British weather in a stunning LBD complete with fishnet panels

Whoops! Gemma Arterton lets slip that she wears control pants with inelegant exit from car

As a size ten and proud of it, Gemma Arterton has long said she sees no need to play the showbusiness weight game.

But it looks like her refusal to give in to the image police only stretches so far.

The 23-year-old James Bond actress has joined the likes of Kylie Minogue and Gwyneth Paltrow by getting a little extra help with her curves - courtesy of Spanx control pants.

The pants, which sell for between £20 and £50 a pair, hold in the bottom, thighs and stomach and, in normal circumstances, are virtually undetectable.

On this occasion, however, their supporting role was hard to miss as Miss Arterton made a rather clumsy exit from her car as she arrived at a Missoni fashion party in London. Source
