Couples Retreat favourite Malin, who is famed for stripping off on scree, looked in fine form indeed in a red patterned dress, which boasted a pleasing plunging neckline, and high heels.

Her 31-year-old  other half meanwhile had dressed to impress in a smart tuxedo, shirt and bow tie.

The Billions actress, who was married to musician Roberto Zincone from 2007 to 2013, had previously said: ‘I’m not really actively seeking. I’m just focusing on my son and work. If somebody comes along, then, fantastic. And if not, fantastic.’

Jack was one of the stars of the BBC show Atlantis from 2013 to 2015.
