Camera shy: Keeley Hawes pulls away, looking embarrassed, as husband Matthew Macfadyen tries to kiss her after winning his TV award

But rather than respond with a loving smooch, Keeley Hawes pulled away – looking shy and bashful in front of the cameras – and leaving Matthew to settle for a peck on the cheek.

It was a far cry from her bold and brash character DI Alex Drake in BBC series Ashes To Ashes where she co-stars alongside straight-talking detective DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister).

Matthew, 33, scooped the award for what judges at the Grosvenor House Hotel awards called a “compelling performance” in Channel 4's Secret Life beating Dr Who star David Tennant.

All smiles: Keeley Hawes and Matthew Macfadyen with his award

Maybe it was Matthew's latest look which put Keeley off. Armed with a handle-bar moustache, mullet haircut and a PE teacher tracksuit – not forgetting the bum bag – he will be guest starring alongside his wife in Ashes To Ashes.

But Keeley, 32, insists she still finds her man attractive: “I am quite capable of loving a man with a mullet. He still looks handsome.”
