She performed at the first-ever Mardi Gras Debutante Ball on Thursday evening where she wore a red tulle gown with a dramatic train.

The Rogue Traders singer looked like she hadn't aged a day since her time on Neighbours almost two decades ago.

Natalie's 13-year marriage to drummer Cameron McGlinchey ended in August.

The pair, who married in 2011, share daughter Harper, 13, and son Hendrix, 10.

Natalie has since revealed she is dating a woman - stage manager Pip Loth, who identifies as non-binary.

Speaking about their relationship, Natalie said: "I'm in a beautiful relationship with a woman who makes my heart smile and makes me really happy.

She confided in her ex Cameron about her relationship amid fears of being "outed".

"He said, 'It's OK. This is your truth and you now have to sit in it and stand in it and own it.

"So to have that support from him has been nothing short of beautiful, and I'm very grateful for it.

"Now I can speak from my own mouth, on my own truth, and that feels rewarding. I'm OK. Everything is OK, and everyone is OK."

Natalie confirmed her relationship with Pip in November, when the couple shared a sweet selfie smiling over margaritas. 

Pip wrote on Insatgram: "Appreciation post for the most incredible woman who is not only giving me strength, support, love and immense joy, but is teaching me to understand and accept that I am deserving of these things and have them within myself too.

"She's teaching me to breathe deeply, to trust and to be my truest self. I am so incredibly lucky and overwhelmingly grateful for you."
