The famous faces were out in force for the Action For Children's Starry Night Gala in London on Thursday night.

Vanessa Feltz led the glamorous arrivals and dazzled in a red sequin gown as she joined busty A Place In The Sun presenter Laura Hamilton.

The TV and radio personality, 62, cut a youthful figure in the one-shoulder number which she wore with strappy gold heels.

Also at the event was Laura, 42, who flaunted her ample assets in a hot pink dress with ruffle detailing.

She accessorised with a gold clutch bag and wore her blonde tresses in loose waves while opting for a red lip.

The event was also attended by the likes of Love Island's Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, Angela Rippon and TOWIE's Debbie Bright. 

Hosted by author and podcaster Louise Boyce, the event was supporting the UK charity's Secret Santa campaign to help provide vulnerable children with warm clothes, a hot meal, or a Christmas present. 

The event featured a performance from Rebecca Ferguson MBE and 13-year-old Tobbi from Moray, who, was fostered through Action for Children. 

Vanessa's outing comes after her ex-fiancé Ben Ofoedu split from girlfriend Precious Muir.

The couple decided to end their year-long romance over a heartbreaking clash they struggled to see past. 

Former Phats & Small singer Ben, 52, started dating TV presenter Precious, 40, following his breakup from Vanessa who he was in a relationship with for 16 years.

He expressed wanting to start a family with the This Morning agony aunt, previously telling MailOnline he longed for a wife and children, saying: 'I gave myself to someone for a quarter of my life and ultimately I got nothing from it… it's absolutely heartbreaking.'

And now he feared history repeating itself as Precious isn't ready for a baby or to settle down, with the pair coming to the painful realisation it's better for them to go their separate ways.

Ben vows to maintain a close friendship with Precious, who he says came into his life at a time when he needed 'love' and 'support' and he found a 'beautiful', 'nonjudgemental' partner in the former model.

The musician's relationship with Precious came after he admitted to cheating on Vanessa, bedding another woman and sharing inappropriate messages with another. 

Their 16-year romance collapsed in 2023 when reports of Ben's infidelity were leaked to the press. 

Vanessa, who was previously married and shares grownup daughters Allegra, 38, and Saskia, 35, with ex-husband Michael Kurer, has spoken in-depth about the heartache she suffered after discovering Ben had betrayed her.

Speaking on This Morning following the couple's split, Vanessa said: 'I feel sad, I feel hurt, which I do and I feel terribly humiliated and lots of people have said, you shouldn't. It was a terrible shock but also a gradual thing, it was a mixture of the two.

'I don't want to dwell on anything or any of the details, I really do want to focus on the future and telling myself there will be a future.' 

This year, she released autobiography Vanessa Bares All and during promotional interviews for the book, branded her relationship with Ben a 'huge waste of time.'

Instead of calling Ben by his name in the text, she referred to him as 'the One Hit Wonder' in reference to his 1999 track Turn Around.
