Loose Women stars sport black and orange in honour of Lynda Bellingham at the NTAs
THEY lost their friend and colleague Lynda Bellingham last year, and the Loose Women ladies thought it was only right to pay tribute to her at the National Television Awards last night.

Coleen Nolan, Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Jamelia were all pictured in black and orange in support of Lynda's charity work with Action Against Cancer as they arrived at London's O2.
Kaye, 52, opted for bright heels and a low-cut black dress which showed off her slim figure for the ceremony, while 49-year-old Coleen chose a sheer number with floral embellishment.
Late actress Lynda was heavily involved with the cancer research charity, and since her death, her husband, Michael Pattemore has become the charity’s ambassador.
Michael Pattemore - known as Mr Spain to his friends - said: "Lynda would so proud to see so many people supporting Action Against Cancer which is such a great charity...one day we will beat this disease."

One of Lynda's closest friends, Coleen, explained the actress was always in her thoughts.
She said: "Cancer affects so many lives and families and anything that might raise awareness of the work that these charities do is worthwhile.
"Lynda was such a fantastic Loose Woman and an incredible friend. She is always in our thoughts."
Founder and Chairwoman of Action Against Cancer, Hilary Craft BEM, has revealed how grateful she is to Coleen and the crew.

"The funds raised in Lynda's memory will help to make possible truly groundbreaking work, aimed at improving the survival prospects and quality of life for cancer sufferers worldwide."
