Hope started her prep around 7am this morning; she shared a photograph on her Instagram story with freshly washed hair in a towel, and wearing a gold star moisturising face mask. She then met up with her glam squad - hairdresser, makeup artist, and stylist around 9am to start getting ready.
The presenter was seen with gold eyeshadow and her hair tied up in a neat bun. Meanwhile, her fellow presenter Sam Thompson was seen travelling in a car with a white shirt hung up in the back seat.
He was wearing a comfy-looking hoodie and dark green crocs, before swiftly changing into a tuxedo and sunglasses. The star was spotted on the red carpet around 1pm saying hello to keen fans lined up five hours before the event commences.
Stacey Solomon is also up for an award tonight. The mum-of-four and fiancé to Joe Swash gushed how she is celebrating the proudest moment of her life.
