Quick-thinking Moore grabbed Seymour by her hair and yanked her to safety with seconds to spare.

It was the voodoo scene and I was tied up,waiting to be rescued by Bond. We were supposed to descend into a grave together,but it all went horribly wrong, the Daily Express quoted her as telling Hello! magazine.

The gravestone was actually a forklift truck in disguise and as the guy operating it pressed the wrong button,it collapsed.

I could have plummeted into the chasm,but Roger instinctively grabbed my hair and pulled me towards him. I fell on top of him,on his private parts,which must have hurt, she added.
