Watching* Fifty Shades of Grey* has one inevitable side effect - fancying Jamie Dornan. But sorry girls, he's married and what's more his wife is pretty great. You might not have heard of Amelia Warner just yet, but something tells us the Dornans are about to take Hollywood by storm.

In Jamie's press tour photographs, the only thing distracting us from that overgrown beard is Amelia's flawless red carpet style. She wore a strapless printed Mary Katrantzou dress to the London premiere and a red lace Temperley London jumpsuit to the world premiere in Berlin.

So who is Amelia Warner? Here's everything you need to know about her below...

1. Amelia isn't Irish like her hubby Jamie, she was born in Liverpool and moved to Ladbroke Grove in London when she was six. Her Dad appeared in Birds of a Feather as Linda Robson's husband Darryl and her mum, Annette Ekblom, was also an actress and appeared in Brookside and Blood Brothers.

**2. **She kind-of, sort-of married Colin Farrell when she was 20. They were together for five months in 2001 and had a ceremony on a beach in Tahiti. Colin even had Amelia's name tattooed onto his ring finger. But Warner has said that the ceremony was a joke and not legal - she told The Sun: "We didn't actually get married — it's not actually true. I think we've been too polite to deny it. We had a ceremony on a beach in Tahiti that was by no means legal and we knew it wasn't."

**3. **She is an actress and played Fanny in Mansfield Park when she was just 14 and starred in the BBC adaption of Lorna Doone when she was 17. Amelia took on a risky film way before Jamie picked up a grey tie - she starred in the sexual Quills alongside Michael Caine, Kate Winslet and Joaquin Phoenix.

4. Like Jamie, she's also a very talented musician. She quit acting to pursue her signing career and was signed with Island Records under the name Slow Moving Millie. You are bound to have heard her cover of The Smith's 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want' as it was in the 2011 John Lewis Christmas advert.

5. Jamie and Amelia met at a party in 2007 and moved in together in Notting Hill. They got married in 2013 and she gave birth to their first child, Dulcie, in 2013.

6. Amelia and Jamie both have the same approach to the limelight. She said in an interview early on in her career: "I want to stay below the radar and make good films. I have to be careful, I don't want my life to change. I really don't want to be a movie star."

7. Amelia gave birth in Vancouver last year where Jamie was filming Fifty Shades Of Grey. Jamie said to The Telegraph: ‘A lot of people would have had a sh** fit at 30 something weeks pregnant hearing, ‘Darling, we’re going to Vancouver this week for four months - we’re going to have a Canadian baby and I’m going to do a film where, for parts of it, I will be naked. That’s a tough pitch but my wife is an incredible person.’

8. Amelia has been at all of the Fifty Shades premieres, but she won't be watching Jamie as Christian Grey. Jamie Dornan said to USA Today: "She doesn't want to watch this. She's well aware that it's pretend, but it's probably not that comfortable to watch. There’s quite a long shot of my [butt]. I wasn’t hugely comfortable with it when I watched it. That’s my bum. Still my bum. Wow."
