Sacha Baron Cohen dressed in character as Nobby Grimsby, from his latest film Grimsby, and made an eye-catching appearance on the red carpet.
But he was almost upstaged by former The Only Way Is Essex star Jasmin Walia.

The 25-year-old quit the ITV2 show last year and promptly joined the cast of Desi Rascals, another reality series. Jasmin dared to bare in a white outfit that showed off her toned legs.
However, 44-year-old Sacha went even further. He braved the cold weather to dress down in socks, sandals and underwear so it was left to wife Isla Fisher, who also appears in Grimsby, to supply the glamour.
Sporting a paunch and a beer can, Sacha’s look was rounded off with side-burns and the type of hair-cut that invited comparisons to rocker brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher from Oasis.
