REALITY stars and soap actors glammed up for a fancy awards bash to celebrate the city of Manchester.
Hosted by Jenny Powell and Scott Thomas, stars from Love Island, Hollyoaks and Coronation Street gathered for the 5th year of This is Manchester Awards.
Scott’s brother Ryan Thomas and his fiance Lucy Mecklenburgh led the stars in attendance as he took a break from training for Dancing on Ice.
They were joined by Real Housewives’ Christine McGuinness, Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent, Love Island’s Mary Bedford and ex-Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn.
Christinee looked stunning in a high-thigh split dress as she turned out to support her city.
Brooke has been on maternity leave from the ITV soap, but recently admitted she struggled in pregnancy after believing she “lost her identity” while expecting.
