Nude Beckinsale’s Kate escape

Hot and cold ... Kate Beckinsale

KATE Beckinsale wriggles around in the nude as she escapes from an ice chamber. 

The actress fights for her life in the nude in a nail-biting scene from her new DVD Underworld: Awakening. 

And images like these can only help to ramp up pre-orders of the sci-fi movie. 

In the fourth instalment of the franchise, Kate returns to play Selene. 

On this occasion, her butt-kicking character escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycon clans. 

The fight is on to wipe out both immortal species. 

Bravery in the buff ... Kate Beckinsale

Such implausible story-telling may not be to everybody’s taste – but the sight of Kate in the buff will surely have the Brit beauty’s fans splashing out on the film. 

Underworld: Awakening is out on Blu-ray and DVD Monday.
