Lizzie Cundy puts on a VERY leggy display in a gold fringed mini dress as she joins busty Ella Morgan at star-studded charity ball
Lizzie Cundy looked incredible as she hit the red carpet alongside Ella Morgan at the Rainbow Honours charity ball at the London Hilton on Friday. The former WAG, 57, put on a very leggy display in a gold fringe mini dress which boasted sheer panels and teased a glimpse of her jaw-dropping figure beneath. Accentuating her timeless features with glam make-up the stunner slipped her feet into sparkly heels and posed up a storm. Meanwhile MAFS UK star Ella, 31, opted for a plunging pink dress complete with racy thigh high split and added extra sparkle with gold accessorises. The duo were joined at the star-studded evening by other famous faces including Sally Lindsay, Suranne Jones and Linda Robson. The annual event recognises and celebrates individuals and organisations who dedicate themselves year-round to driving change and championing LGBTQIA+ equality. It comes after Lizzie opened up about the realities of being a WAG in the noughties as she shared the 'lonely and isolating' reality of her split from her footballer ex. The TV star got married to the former Chelsea player Jason Cundy, 55, in 1994, after meeting at a nightclub in Richmond, London. Lizzie split from Jason in 2012 after discovering his affair with opera singer Hannah Pedley. Now, in a new BBC documentary titled Sex After Celebrity, Lizzie revealed the difficulties she faced with being in the public eye at the height of her fame. Reflecting on the period when her marriage split became public, she described it as the 'most awful time' in her life. She said: 'It was the most awful time when my marriage split up, not just because it was a marriage splitting up and family was being split up, it was because it was on the front page of the papers. 'There's a picture of me in a swimsuit, looking over my shoulder, and it was all about my marriage split, and I didn't even know about it myself. And it was the reaction of other people as well. 'Friends I knew didn't know what to say. The mums at school would cross the road from me because they were embarrassed. She added extra sparkle to the ensemble with gold accessorises The actress looked effortlessly chic in a navy gown (L-R) Gladiators and Strictly star Montell Douglas joined Loose Women's Linda Robson EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal cut a stylish figure on the red carpet 'They didn't really know what to say. So it actually became quite a lonely existence.' She continued: 'And not knowing who to trust, actually doubting friends, thinking, "Could they have put that story in?" or, you know, "I only told that person, so how did it get in?" 'And quizzing and questioning people that you've known a lifetime. So that side was awful.' Following the breakdown of her high-profile marriage, Lizzie found it hard to go back into the dating pool. She explained: 'It's difficult when you've been in a very high-profile relationship and then go into dating, because you have a trust issue. I certainly did. 'And I've actually been on a date where we're sitting there and I've seen him push his phone, and I thought, "I think you're recording me." 'So I just said it out, "Is your phone on? Are you recording?" And he just went, "Yeah..."' Fast forward to present day, the beauty has found a new lease of life for dating, as she described it was 'great now'. She went on to date England rugby player Danny Cipriani and has since enjoyed some other relationships out of the public eye. The TV star said: 'I am loving dating. I do long-distance relationships, which is fantastic. 'So, you know, you can send little naughty pics and you just keep it fresh. They're not there all the time, getting on your nerves. 'You know, guys are good for different things. You know, I used to have one guy and I'd think, "Oh, if only he was a little bit more fun and wanted to go out at night". 'I've got guys, you know, one likes football, one likes going out for dinner, one makes me laugh, one's good in bed, you know? Got it all. 'So that's what... I'm free. I love it, and I've never been happier.'

Strictly Come Dancing 'in talks' with Celebs Go Dating and MAFS expert
Strictly Come Dancing 'in talks' with Celebs Go Dating and MAFS expert Strictly Come Dancing bosses are said to be in talks with a relationship expert, known for appearing on Celebs Go Dating and MAFS UK Celebs Go Dating agents Dr Tara, Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson (Image: E4 ) Strictly Come Dancing executives are apparently keen to secure Celebs Go Dating and Married At First Sight UK guru Paul C Brunson for the next season of the BBC dance contest. Despite the show not returning until later in the year, speculation abounds as to who will be stepping onto the dance floor. Rumour has it that relationship consultant and television presenter Paul might be joining the lineup. The expert gained recognition among British viewers through his role on CGD and MAFS UK, and more recently, he appeared with Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden on Netflix's reality programme, Cheat: Unfinished Business. An insider revealed to The Sun the reasons why the showrunners are eager to enlist Paul for the competition: "Paul would be the ideal tonic to the dark clouds over Strictly as he's clean-cut, very intelligent and has no scandals to worry about." The source added: "They are now in discussion but he's met with producers a number of times."

The Olympic champion's personality could act as an antidote to the negative atmosphere that has lately hung over Strictly. While there is a desire to have him onboard, discussions are still in the preliminary phase, reports the Mirror, which has contacted the BBC for comment. Strictly has faced a number of scandals, with one of the more notable issues emerging after the 2023 series where Amanda Abbington accused her professional dancing partner Giovanni Pernice of bullying. A series of bullying claims led Giovanni to temporarily retreat from public life amidst the controversy. However, after winning the Italian Strictly Come Dancing, he's now back in Britain engaging in various dancing ventures. Graziano Di Prima also found himself out of the show. The summer brought with it allegations that the Italian dancer had physically assaulted Zara, aged 28, an accusation he fervently rebuffs. Sir Mo Farah is also believed to be in talks about appearing on Strictly (Image: NurPhoto, NurPhoto via Getty Images ) He conceded that his "intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime." Most recently, Wynne Evans was dropped from the Strictly live tour due to his conduct. Article continues below Wynne gave an interview on This Morning, discussing the scandalous events during his time on Strictly and shared how the backlash severely impacted his mental well-being. "I was at my lowest ebb, I wanted to end my life. I would have if I hadn't been surrounded by people," he confessed to the presenters on the programme. Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

More info Strictly Come Dancing chiefs are reportedly eyeing up relationship guru Paul C Brunson for a spin on the upcoming series of the hit BBC dance contest. Despite the fact that the new season won't kick off until later in the year, there's already chatter about which celebs may be stepping onto the dance floor. Rumours suggest that relationship expert and television personality Paul could sashay his way into the line-up. Familiar to UK audiences from Celebs Go Dating (CGD) and Married At First Sight UK (MAFS UK), Paul has also partnered with Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden on Netflix's reality series, Cheat: Unfinished Business. A source tipped The Sun off as to why the Strictly honchos are keen to enlist Paul, saying: "Paul would be the ideal tonic to the dark clouds over Strictly as he's clean-cut, very intelligent and has no scandals to worry about." Further details indicate that "they are now in discussion but he's met with producers a number of times," reports the Mirror, which has approached the BBC for comment. (Image: Matt Monfredi / Channel 4) It emerged earlier this week that the showrunners are courting Sir Mo Farah. He's described as a "genuine national treasure" whose presence could counter the recent negativity around Strictly. The producers see him as an asset saying his personality could banish the show's recent negative atmosphere. Recently, Strictly has had to navigate through some turbulent waters. Post the 2023 series, Amanda Abbington levelled serious claims against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, accusing him of bullying. Amanda raised eyebrows with accusations of bullying, which saw Giovanni stepping back from the limelight amidst the uproar. In contrast, Giovanni celebrated a victory on the Italian version of Strictly before returning to the UK for more dance endeavours.

That summer, there was chatter about Graziano having possibly kicked and hit 27 year old Zara, allegations he vehemently rejects. He conceded that his "intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime." More recently, Wynne Evans found himself cut from the Strictly live tour due to his actions. Wynne discussed a tumultuous period during his stint on Strictly in an appearance on This Morning, expressing how the negative publicity had deeply impacted his mental wellbeing.

The reality star shared her pain on social media while asking for advice Silent pain MAFS star reveals secret health battle as she begs fans for help, admitting 'I'm in agony' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Married At First Sight's Lacey Martin has opened up about a secret health battle, begging fans for help. Lacey, 28, told her Instagram followers she's "in agony" with scoliosis – a condition which causes the spine to curve – since her teenage years. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 MAFS' Lacey Martin has opened up about her secret battle with scoliosis Credit: Instagram Taking to her Stories, she wrote: "I'm in agony with my back, I have scoliosis 2 curves. "Been on going since a teenager and wore a back brace. "Need some advice on the best back supports to help with my posture and work etc.. thank you. "Any advice I would appreciate it." Lacey recently sparked romance rumours with Terence Edwards as they rang in her birthday at a trendy bar. Terence, 40, and Lacey cuddled up close for plenty of photos and videos posted to their respective Instagram stories. The pair appeared on the E4 reality relationship series one year apart, but seems they have become fast friends since moving on from their TV spouses. They partied with Lacey's twin sister Paige and Love Island's Marcel Sommerville at celebrity hotspot, Sheesh, in Chigwell. The pair even took a video of themselves doing shots on the night out. Terrence also posted a video sitting next to Lacey and filmed her receiving her birthday cake as she cheered while everyone sang her Happy Birthday. MAFS stars spark romance rumours as they cosy up on boozy night out after bride is accused of showmance with groom The social worker turned DJ and host found fame in the 2023 series of MAFS, while Lacey appeared on the E4 show a year later. Terrence was paired with Porscha Pernnelle on MAFS UK, but their marriage did not last when he walked out of the show after hearing rumours she had kissed other grooms. Since then, he has been spotted hanging out with another MAFS UK star, Tasha Joy, 27. As for Lacey, she seemed to have a happier marriage on the series when she was put with Nathan Campbell, but they split after the show aired. Their breakup turned sour when Nathan accused Lacey of wanting to fake their romance in order to get more publicity and media opportunities. He made the revelations during February's reunion episode. Nathan told some of the other grooms: "She messaged me and said after a year you get magazine deals and things like that, showmance." He went on to say: "She sent me a text message saying the relationship she wanted would be a pretend one so she could get more opportunity from it and make more money but I didn't want to do it." What is scoliosis? Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, which can cause uneven shoulders. Treatment is not always necessary for the condition but some people who develop scoliosis can be required to wear a back brace to stop the curve worsening as they get older. In cases where surgery is required, patients may undergo a spinal fusion operation; a procedure that can last for several hours. Lacey's family defended her on social media and she opened up about experiencing dark episodes since the breakup. "We all have our battles, but overall, I am a positive girl. And I didn't get out my pyjamas for four days. I was crying, and it was just me, my mum and my twin sister Paige in the house," she told Bobby Norris on his Access All Areas podcast. "And I was like, Mum, there's no way out. And for me, I feel like Nathan should have put a statement out." She continued: "I suffer with depression. I'm pretty open about that, but I've never had dark thoughts like that where I'm drowning. "I just want it to be all over. I just want to be asleep. And, it was a hard place. And there was no one to run to, and even if you put out a statement, people weren't really reading it." 4 Lacey told her Instagram followers she's "in agony" with the condition Credit: Instagram / lacemartin_ 4 She married Nathan Campbell on the E4 show Credit: Instagram
