The Pride of Britain Awards returned for yet another year to celebrate the nation's everyday heroes and their bravery - and some of the biggest stars in Love Island's history descended on the red carpet, showing off some of their most show-stopping looks to date.

The annual awards, which have taken place since 1999 in association with The Prince’s Trust, is considered one of the most heartwarming and emotional nights of the year, and over 150 of the biggest names in showbiz have gathered to celebrate the brave hero's of 2022.

Among the first Love Island stars to grace the red carpet this evening was Ekinsu Cülcüloğlu who made sure she turned heads in a jaw-dropping black mini dress.

As always, Ekin-Su proved that she's a natural style queen as she went against the grain and opted for a simple mini dress instead of a statement floor-length gown.

Meanwhile, her beau Davide looked as dapper as ever in a chic suit.
