John, 78, died in late February of pneumonia, after he was left paralysed from the neck down after a serious fall in 2016.

Last month on Studio 10, Kerri-Anne admitted she was ‘shocked’ at his death, as she thought she had more time with him.  

‘The hole it leaves in your life, it’s so painful. It’s a hole that will never be filled,’ she said, clutching a tissue in her hand.

‘It was a shock because I thought I would have John for many, many, many years to come. It was a terrible shock.’

She added: ‘It’s not fair, but life happens.’ 

At the event on Tuesday meanwhile, Kerri-Anne joined the likes of Danielle Spencer, cricket WAG Kyly Clarke, former Australian Idol star Casey Donovan and media personality, Deborah Hutton. 

Danielle, 49, the ex-wife of Russell Crowe, looked like a blonde bombshell in a gold top and tight trousers. 

She teamed the look with a silver choker and had her long locks out and over her shoulders.
