Holly Willoughby has been flooded with support from fans as she made a huge return to the showbiz world with an appearance at the National Television Awards.

The former This Morning presenter dazzled as she hit the red carpet ahead of the star-studded ceremony at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday evening (September 11).

Holly appeared to be back on top form as she smiled from ear to ear in a glittering strapless silver and black dress from luxury couture brand Kolchagov Barba which boasted a daring high leg slit and reportedly worth a massive £30,000.
