Katherine Jenkins as the National Lottery hosts its star-studded annual Big Bash trends now
Anyone venturing past London's OVO Arena on Tuesday evening appeared to hit the jackpot as Katherine Jenkins helped The National Lottery celebrate another year of mainstream entertainment at its annual Big Bash.

She added to her look with a pair of strappy peep-toe heels, while her hair was conventionally styled with a simple centre parting as she greeted onlookers ahead of her performance.

The party will give 8000 National Lottery players the chance to attend for free as a thank you for their support.
