(It’s a quick poll, you can skip categories if you don’t want to vote in them.)

Screen goddess Gemma Arterton shows off her classical good looks — on a break from filming Greek epic Clash Of The Titans.

The ex-Bond girl, 23, looked heavenly as she stripped down to a skimpy bikini. She was lounging by a hotel pool in the Canary Islands on a day off from the movie — a remake of the 1981 classic.

An onlooker said: “Gemma’s bikini didn’t seem to be giving her a lot of support.”

Luckily, she managed to avoid a Greek tragedy.
