Elsewhere, Mel C rocked the red carpet as she led the star-studded arrivals at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday evening. 

The Spice Girl, 49, looked as chic as ever as she flashed her blue bra under a statement white suit as she was among the first to take to the red carpet. 

She was joined by the likes of actress Hannah Waddingham, 49, and Never Gonna Give You Up singer Rick Astley, 57, who looked typically dashing in a black suit. 

The Royal Variety Performance is now watched by over 152 million TV viewers worldwide – however it won’t be broadcast until December 17. 

It is back for 2023 – and this year will see William, Kate in the royal box, along with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband, Prince Daniel.

This year’s event promises to showcase ‘international stars, world-class theatre, sensational and hilarious comedy’ in the presence of its royal attendees. 

King Charles will not be present as he is at the COP28 climate summit held this year in the United Arab Emirates.

Now in its 111th year, the event will be hosted by comedian Bradley Walsh. However, it will not be broadcast live on TV and will be shown on December 17 on ITVX.
