After the chills and thrills of the Alps, Tom and Katie warm up with a curry in London

The snow-clad peaks and clear-blue skies of the Italian Alps proved the perfect back-drop for Hollywood power couple Tom and Katie Cruise to wind down this weekend.

Togged up to stave off the bitter cold - Tom all in black, Katie all in white - the pair were all smiles as they savoured a few days rest and relaxation after attending a film awards show in Germany.

They were joined on the slopes for a spot of messing about in the snow by the niece of designer Giorgio Armani, Roberta.

Ever the action man, when it came to the snowmobile it was Tom who took charge while wife Katie rode pillion and held on to him for dear life.

Clearly, Katie had seen her husband's action-packed Mission Impossible films and was happy to take the backseat!

After their exertions on the pistes, the globe-trotting power couple flew on to London where they warmed up with a curry.

The pair enjoyed dinner at top Indian restaurant Tamarind, in Mayfair, in the centre of the capital.
