Gemma Arterton is expected to be among the 42 actors who will feature in the ‘Brits to watch’ dinner that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have not yet packed their suitcases for their trip to North America, but tempers are already fraying among the actors who hope to meet them in Hollywood.

Mandrake hears that the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, whose inaugural “Brits to Watch” dinner will be attended by Prince William and the former Kate Middleton, has been deluged with calls from agents desperate for their clients to be among the 42 actors featured.

“Agents have been on the phone non-stop, with some demanding to know why they have not been told whether their star names have made the cut,” says my man at Bafta.

Mandrake hears that one of those who will be invited is Gemma Arterton, 25, who starred opposite Daniel Craig in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.

A Bafta spokesman will say only that “a number of criteria was used to select the stars” for what will “obviously be a very exciting event”. The $25,000 (£16,500) per-table dinner is now “essentially sold out”, according to one organiser. Two of the actors will sit at each table.
