The presenter has kept a low profile for much of the period since he left the breakfast show in September 2012, to be replaced by NICK GRIMSHAW.

Apart from a stint of touring with the stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar, Moyles has been largely out of the public eye apart from posting videos to his YouTube channel.

But he assured his fans he had been “doing plenty” and would let them know what he had been working on when the time was right.

In a message he posted on Facebook, he explained: “Contrary to popular belief, I am actually quite busy with my life. Just cos I’m not on the radio anymore people think I’m doing nothing. I wish.

“I have been doing plenty and when the time is right, I will let everybody in on what I’ve been up to.”

The Safe House star plays a traveller who becomes friends with a compulsive gambler - played by BEN MENDELSOHN - after meeting at a poker game. The pair embark on a road trip in the comedy-drama, written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

At the film’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, Ryan joked that they indulged in those vices during the shoot, saying: “There was a little drinking, a little gambling and a little rehab. I like all of that stuff.

“It’s fun because you know it ends. You can gamble a little bit and you know you can go home without a crippling addiction.”

But he added: “There was more money lost than won. This was not a big-budget film and I think we spent our fee in about an hour on the first day. I’m a terrible gambler. I watch him (Ben) - he’s a very good poker player.”

JESSICA CHASTAIN has said she does think actresses get overlooked by Hollywood as they get older.

The 37-year-old Oscar-nominated star - who plays an ambitious wife in new movie A Most Violent Year - was responding to RUSSELL CROWE’s recent comments that older actresses should act their age, and not always want to play the ingenue.

Jessica said: “I think there are actresses like KATHY BATES, SISSY SPACEK, GEENA DAVIES, SUSAN SARANDON, JESSICA LANGE, it goes on and on and on, incredible actresses that I really miss seeing in movies.

“And these are women who aren’t trying to play ingenues, they’re actually incredible actresses, very comfortable in their skin and I can’t wait to be working in an industry that has more roles available to them.”
