Michelle Keegan puts glamour first on the sub-zero NTAs red carpet before joining British TV babes Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden and Vicky Pattison for the afterparty

The temperatures may have been dipping in London, but the cream of television's beauties didn't let it hinder their red carpet appearances on Wednesday night, nor did it dampen their spirits at the afterparty.

Turning out for the annual, ultra-glamorous National Television Awards at The O2, blonde bombshells Holly Willoughby and Amanda Holden kept things classic in black and white floor-skimming frocks, while bold brunettes Vicky Pattison and Michelle Keegan went all out Hollywood glamour.

Television's small screen beauties were certainly taking the red carpet by storm, competing just as much in the style stakes as some of them were for NTA gongs; though when the wins were all said and done, it was time for the stars to rub shoulders at the afterparty.

All smiles: Michelle Keegan cut a slender profile, showing off her stomach as she spun 360 in a backless and belly-baring dress

A touch on the Bollywood side, NTA-nominated Michelle dressed in an unorthodox belly-baring dress as she no doubt held high hopes that her nod would come to fruition.

The former Coronation Street star arrived with her husband Mark Wright, cutely co-ordinating in navy, but left him on the sidelines while she enjoyed a few solo snaps before heading into the star-studded venue.
