PUTTING ON THE GLITZ FOR OUR HEROES

SOAP STARS AND SHOWBIZ FAVOURITES SCRUB UP BEAUTIFULLY FOR A GLITTERING CHARITY EVENT AT LONDON'S LANDMARK HOTEL

The stars of soap and screen were out in force last week as they hit the red carpet for the glamorous Dancing With Heroes ball.

The event, hosted by Back On Track charity founders Dr Aamer Khan and his wife Lesley Reynolds, was held at the Landmark Hotel in London in support of the country's military heroes and injured veterans, some of whom were in attendance.

Former Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly used the evening to go public with her new man, Line Of Duty star Tony Pitts. Katherine, 43, and Tony, 60, have reportedly been dating for several months and have also met each other's families.

Tony, who played DCS Lester Hargreaves in the BBC drama, looked dapper in a black tuxedo, while Mr Selfridge star Katherine stood out in a red patterned dress.

Katherine's new relationship comes two years after she split from her husband Ryan Clark, whom she married in Las Vegas in 2013. The pair share two children, daughters Orla, eight, and six-year-old Rose.

Also in attendance at the bash was EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth. The 67-year-old, who plays Kathy Beale in the BBC soap, exuded glamour in a silvery blue halter-neck gown, while This Morning's resident medic, Dr Zoe Williams, 42, sparkled in a sequin mini dress.
