PRINCESS Andre and Christine McGuinness lead the arrivals at this year’s British LGBT Awards.

The glam stars both stunned on the red carpet as they dazzled in strapless frocks at the annual star-studded event.

Reality TV star Princess looked a vision as she wowed the photographers in a gorgeous strapless white gown.

Her flawless outfit featured cut-out detailing around her hips as she flashed a smile on the carpet – just hours after making her This Morning presenting debut.

Princess’ long blonde locks flowed down to her hips as she mingled with stars including Christine McGuinness at the event.

Christine opted for a similar white outfit which also showed off her shoulders thanks to its strapless design.

The former wife of Paddy McGuinness has been open about her dating life in recent months and has affirmed her decision to concentrate on dating women following her 15-year marriage to the TV host.

Princess and Christine weren’t the only stars who flocked to Marriott Grosvenor Square for the event.

Coronation Street legend Helen Worth – who quit the soap as Gail Platt after 50 years in 2024 – made a very rare red carpet appearance at the event.

Helen – who often shuns showbiz events – looked immaculate in a long dress with floral detailing.

I’m A Celebrity star Tom Read Wilson also reunited with his jungle pal Ruby Wax at the event.

Ruby was in charge of keeping things in order as the host of the event which marks celebrations and achievements for LGBT individuals and organisations across music, business, celebrity other aspects of everyday life.

TV presenter Rylan also attended the bash alongside former BGT judge Bruno Tonioli and former WAG, Lizzie Cundy.

Ruby Wax will be with Tom Read Wilson as they host the British LGBT Awards together

Ruby Wax will be with Tom Read Wilson as they host the British LGBT Awards together. The comedienne, 73, competed alongside Celebs Go Dating star Tom, 39, on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! towards the end of last year.

Ahead of teaming up with her jungle campmate, Ruby teased that there is a lot to come from the “glamorous” evening, which all kicks off in London on Thursday night.

She said: “Glamour, chaos and emotion, as well as me trying not to say anything that gets me cancelled before dessert! But seriously, it’s going to be a celebration of brilliant people doing extraordinary things. There’ll be laughter, there’ll be tears, and there’ll probably be someone giving a speech that makes everybody rethink their life choices.”

The star, who has had a stellar career in stand up comedy and worked on Absolutely Fabulous with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, was then asked why “visibility” was still so important in this day and age.

She said :”Because visibility changes lives. When people see themselves represented, honestly and proudly, it gives them permission to exist fully. We’ve made progress, but progress can’t be something we assume is permanent. Events like the British LGBT Awards remind people that community matters, ally ship matters and joy matters too!”

Meanwhile, Tom, who has also appeared on This Morning, and presented a host of one-off documentaries, insisted that the whole thing meant “more” than a typical awards ceremony.

He said: “It feels profoundly special. I’ve always believed that visibility is a kind of kindness, and being here among so many extraordinary people who are actively shaping a more inclusive world is humbling.

“This isn’t just an awards ceremony – it is a celebration of courage and community. To play even a small role in that feels like a real privilege.”

Some of the biggest names leading this year’s awards, include Wicked star Jonathan Bailey, Loose Women panellist GK Barry and former X Factor host Dermot O’Leary. They are joined by an influential and diverse mix of nominees spanning entertainment, sport, media and activism, all recognised for their powerful contributions to advancing LGBTQ+ equality.

Additional standout nominees include Charlie xcx, Claudia Winkleman, and Jill Scott MBE, further cementing this year’s ceremony as a landmark moment for representation and recognition.

Rebecca Twomey, Head of Showbiz at the Mirror said: “We’re thrilled to put our support behind this incredible award ceremony which champions the LGBTQ+ community. The Mirror is all about bringing people together and championing all voices from the heart of Britain.”

The glittering ceremony will take place on 28 May 2026 in London, bringing together celebrities, business leaders, campaigners and community champions for an unforgettable evening celebrating progress, pride and possibility.
