Caroline Flack, Sam Faiers and Kym Marsh were among the stars fending off the chill as they walked the red carpet at the ITV Gala.

The annual event welcomes ITV stars to a night of entertainment as the broadcaster celebrates the success of the past year while looking forward to its 2018 programming line-up.

Love Island presenter Flack appeared to ignore the cold November evening in a black mini-dress with an asymmetric neckline.

She was one of the first to arrive at the London Palladium on Thursday evening and was seen on the red carpet along with her Love Island co-star Iain Stirling, who narrated the hit ITV2 summer reality series.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Faiers showed off her baby bump in a draped dress.

Marsh was joined by her Coronation Street co-star Debbie Rush while several Emmerdale favourites, including Adam Thomas and Michelle Hardwick, were out in force to represent the soap.
