The actress looked unrecognisable from her Call The Midwife character Trixie.

The EastEnders gang are out in force, with Jessie Wallace, Michelle Collins, Adam Woodyatt and Bobby Brazier all scrubbing up for the event.

This year's National Television Awards will be hosted by Joel Dommett and will kick off on ITV at 8pm tonight.

Holly Willoughby is also set to make her big return to presenting and will be helping out Joel, as exclusively revealed by The Sun.

It will mark the first time Holly has taken to the stage since quitting This Morning in October 2023.

She will also be able to catch up with her pals from This Morning, including Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond, who are in the running for a gong in the TV Presenter category.

Strictly Come Dancing, meanwhile, is hoping to waltz away with the award for best talent show, which would be a big boost for the BBC amid a whirlwind of controversy over how some contestants have allegedly been treated.

The show is up against MasterChefBritain’s Got TalentThe Great British Bake Off and The Voice UK.

All eyes are also set to be on Michelle Keegan, who has scored a hat trick of nominations at this year's NTAs.

The Sky show she stars in, Brassic, has been nominated in the Comedy category and her Netflix thriller, Fool Me Once, is nominated in the New Drama category.

The programme, which aired earlier this year, also sees her nominated for the best Drama Performance for playing beleaguered ex-military wife Maya Stern.
