The former US Marine lives in Michigan but was born in Canada to parents from the West Midlands. He holds British and US citizenship.

His librarian brother David said he was in Moscow to help plan the wedding of another ex-Marine.

He told The Times: “We are deeply concerned for his safety and well-being. His innocence is undoubted and we trust his rights will be respected.”

He said his bachelor brother, who now works in corporate security for a US car parts firm, had been to Moscow several times to meet pals from a Russian social media site.

Daniel Hoffman, a former CIA Moscow station chief, said it was “possible, even likely” President Vladimir Putin had ordered Whelan’s arrest in a swap bid for a female Russian agent who infiltrated the National Rifle Association.

A Russian news agency yesterday claimed Mr Whelan denied the charge.

The Foreign Office said: “Staff requested consular access to a British man detained in Russia after receiving a request for assistance.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
