Amanda, 54, looked as elegant as ever as she flashed the flesh in a daring lace black dress.

The gorgeous gown featured intricate detailing as it wrapped around her enviable figure.

It featured a diagonal cut-out from one shoulder right down to her hip with the skirt featuring an equally dramatic thigh-high split exposing her tanned leg.

The BGT judge kept her hair tucked back behind her ears as she smiled for waiting photographers as she made her way into the event.

Her co-star and former Pussycat Doll, Ashley Roberts, looked equally as glam for the evening.

She opted to wear a see-through mesh number for the night out.

Ashley’s unique pink and red dress put her toned legs on display underneath the mesh material.

The Don’t Cha hitmaker added some height to her frame in a pair of statement red high heels.

The Celebrity Traitors star Kate Garraway was also among the famous faces who had turned up for the evening.

The GMB star looked glam in a gold gown for the charity ball.

Fellow Global radio stars including Jordan North, Nick Ferarri and Chris Stark were also in attendance.

The annual ball is help on behalf of Global Radio’s Make Some Noise charity campaign.

The fundraising efforts are promoted across all of Global’s stations including Capital FM, Heart FM, Capital Xtra, Smooth Radio, LBC and Gold.

Money raised both at the annual event, and all-year round, is donated to small, local charities to help provide relief up and down the country on a variety of issues.

Issues such as poverty, homelessness and mental health issues are all supported by the charities that Make Some Noise supports.

Last year’s gala raised a cool £1.2million in funds.

‘Fabulous 50s dresses and even a kilt’: readers’ favourite vintage shops and markets in Europe | Shopping trips

An Edinburgh institution

W Armstrong in Edinburgh is a true institution. There are several locations, but the Grassmarket spot is a treasure trove. Frequented by locals, students and tourists alike, there is a price point for all. Whether I’ve been on the hunt for vintage cashmere, denim, fabulous 1950s dresses, garb for a fancy dress party or even a kilt, this store has sorted me out. It is always a favourite for when friends visit the city, and whether you are looking to buy or not, it is worth a visit just to see its eclectic collection.

An Erasmus exchange took me to Budapest, where I discovered a city full of vintage shops and flea markets. The city is dotted with Humana shops for staple wardrobe finds; there’s the Ecseri flea market for the more unusual (interspersed with the occasional plastic Stalin bust); plus chic, rambling stores like Szputnyik and Retrock Vintage – think racks of leather jackets and tulle tops among giant monstera plants. Antiques shops are also found tucked away, their contents spilling on to the pavements outside. A particularly favourite find was a set of intricate hand-painted embroidery layouts on kraft paper from the 1930s, each signed by the artist.

Lyon’s canalside treasure trove

The Les Puces du Canal flea market, in the Villeurbanne suburb on the Canal de Jonage, is a treasure trove for reasonably priced vintage clothes, 1960s paraphernalia and vintage furniture (much of the latter still falling in the sub-€150 category). Sunday is the day to go; get there early and have a glass of white wine and a few oysters while you admire your haul.

Stockport is well stocked

Pear Mill Vintage Emporium in Stockport, Greater Manchester, has a dizzying array of vintage and antique goods to browse, plus a cafe if you need a stop-off mid-shop. Prices are very reasonable and you can easily spend most of a day there. There’s even a hot yoga studio, climbing wall and pole-dancing classes in the same building if you want to throw some extra physical activity into your visit. Nearby Stockport town centre has lots of great indie restaurants, museums and shops to make a day of it.

Being thrifty in Oslo

In Oslo, Uff is a lovely family-owned chain of secondhand clothing stores. The price is cheap for Norway and it often has big sales and amazing high quality, unique, handpicked vintage items. There are several all over the city, but my favourite one is at Lille Grensen 5. You can get tops from about 100 Norwegian krone (£7.50).

A Parisian haven of heritage clothing

I was browsing in an Oxfam bookstore in Paris’s 11th arrondissement when a flyer fell out of a book I’d picked up. It promised the best secondhand clothing place in the city and it was nearby on Rue Saint-Maur. I bought the book I’d been looking at and headed straight there. La Frange à l’Envers is a haven for pre-loved clothing: it has a huge range, of colours and sizes, everything is in fabulous condition and the sales team are the perfect Parisian mix of complimentary-yet-honest.

Bargains galore in southern Denmark

Danish charity shops are fab. Last summer in Vejle, while meeting up with family, I found some amazing bargains in charity shops: Georg Jensen candlesticks for £5; an amber necklace for one-fifth the price of the new ones in Skagen (£8); and a silver-plated Easter egg for £1. The shops are so well laid out, showing off Danish design. Simple, functional and so well made.

Rummaging around in Prague

I really enjoyed Prague for its cheap, vintage secondhand shopping. I found an abundance of 1980s and 90s clothes, with lots of pop-up style shops to rummage around. I was there in June, and bought a fun shirt, and a pair of gorgeous hand-painted, Czech plates at Restart Shop. Bellitex Fashion, just south of Prague’s Old Town, also had a large, well-organised selection, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some other cool, vintage clothing shops in the same street. Perfect area to explore for an afternoon … and all at low prices.

Trondheim is a vintage dream

Arven Vintage in the heart of Trondheim is a dream for anyone who loves clothes with a bit of history. The rails are packed with denim classics such as Levi’s, Lee and Wrangler, plus soft wool jumpers, blouses and beautifully made jackets. Everything’s from the 1990s or earlier, and the focus on natural fabrics like wool, linen and silk makes it feel special. I picked up a gorgeous Italian wool blazer there, and people always ask where it’s from. Arven has that rare mix of quality, character and charm that makes vintage shopping such a joy. The staff are lovely too – knowledgable and clearly passionate about what they do. A true gem for vintage lovers.

Winning tip: rural French oasis of thrift shops

Lectoure, between Toulouse and Bordeaux in south-west France, is a little oasis of vintage shops and a fantastic, large brocante (flea market). Set in an old hospital, Village de Brocante Antiquitiés is an atmospheric place, where the wards now spill out with furniture, household sculptures and objets d’art – plus things that will perplex and fascinate even the most picky of magpies. I came away with a stunning set of 1960s glasses that I kept safely wrapped in my handbag all the way home.
