Smiling for the cameras, Cheryl hid from the rain under a huge brolly - but still found time to pose for pictures with fans who lined the red carpet.
Myleene Klass certainly knows how to garner attention as she arrived at the event in a slinky black jumpsuit keeping things classy, but showing off a hint of her décolletage.

The newly-single star showed off a great tab in her sparkly backless frock - and smiled for the cameras as fans screamed her name.
Alesha Dixon proved she was a fashion queen as she looked confident in a checked suit, with her hair tied back and very simple make-up.
Next onto the red carpet was leggy model Abbey Clancy with her beau Peter Crouch. The couple looked every inch the celebrity, with Abey flashing her finest features in an assemetric dress.
