Glamorous: Kerry Katona put in a dazzling appearance at the Children's Champions Awards in London last night


Kerry Katona was the belle of the ball at last night's Children's Champions Awards gala.

The reality star walked the red carpet at Grosvenor House, rather than staying home to watch the premiere episode of her new series Kerry Katona: The Next Chapter.

Kerry, who has been on a promotional blitz for the ITV2 show, was radiant in a blush pink floor-length Lipsy gown which showed off her newly trim and toned figure.


A daring slit up one side showed off plenty of leg, while Kerry's skin glowed with fresh, dewy make-up set off by her short cropped hair.

And she wasn't the only reality star who had a regal makeover for the event.

Stacey Solomon, who was on the judging panel for the News Of The World awards ceremony, and The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger also looked their glamorous best in formal gowns.

Lauren, who walked the red carpet with fiancé and co-star Mark Wright, looked chic in a black column Lipsy dress, also asymmetrical. The reality star swept her hair up and sported glamorous silver earrings.

Goodger's co-star Lauren Pope also wore a floor-length gown, a deep purple satin number with a plunging neckline.

Davina McCall hosted the gala, which will be televised on Sky Living HD on April 3.

She said: 'I'm an emotional person and I'm never more emotional than when I see people doing amazing, thankless tasks. It's great to have the chance to give them a pat on the back and say, "We see what you're doing and thank you".'
