Actress Gemma Arterton's divorce finalised

Actress Gemma Arterton has divorced her husband Stefano Catelli.

The 29-year-old, who starred in Tamara Drewe and also appeared in Bond movie Quantum of Solace alongside Daniel Craig, was granted a decree nisi at a brief hearing in London.

Neither party attended the proceedings today at the Central Family Court in High Holborn before District Judge Anne Aitken.

The order in the undefended petition for divorce was granted on the grounds of two years separation "by consent".

Court papers made public show that 29-year-old Arterton and Catelli, who married in 2010, separated on November 1 2012 and that they have not lived together since.

The Kent-born star said in a divorce document that it was on the date the couple separated that she came to the decision the marriage was at an end.

Paperwork states that a judge found that the actress, who stars in the new film release Gemma Bovery, was "entitled to a decree of divorce, the marriage having irretrievably broken down, the facts being proved being two years' separation by consent".
