Hosting this year’s annual extravaganza was Blue Peter star, Konnie Huq, who also dressed to impress on the night.  

Flashing a glimpse of her toned abs, Konnie – who is married to comedian Charlie Brooker – oozed glamour in a mint cropped top with stylish floral embellishment. 

She teamed the garment with an equally stylish matching skirt that flared out into a full train and swept along the gown as she walked the carpet. 

Adding to the glamour, the brunette beauty wore her glossy locks in a side ponytail, whilst she accessorised with diamond drop earrings and bore a slick of red lipstick.

Eva is one of many stars to show their support as an acting ambassador of the Global Gift Foundation – a charity that works to raise funds for foundations, charities and organisations that share its vision and aims.

Through events such as the various galas and fundraisers the charity funds several projects, including The Eva Longoria Foundation.

The charity, founded in 2012, aims to help Latinas build better futures through education and entrepreneurship, and confront the issue of poverty in their culture.
