Sarah Ferguson and Alesha Dixon lead glamour on red carpet at British LGBT Awards

Sarah Ferguson was seen rubbing shoulders with Loose Women's Linda Robson and This Morning's Gok Wan on the red carpet of the British LGBT Awards on Friday night.

The stars were out in force for the annual event with the likes of Alesha Dixon and the stars of Ru Paul's Drag Race leading the glamour.

This year's ceremony, which celebrates the LGBT+ community and its allies, is being hosted by TV presenter Gok and winner of Ru Paul's Drage Race UK Lawrence Chaney.

During the glitzy bash, a host of stars will battle it out for awards including the coveted Celebrity of the Year gong.

But before proceedings at swanky London venue The Brewery got underway, a host of celebs seized the chance to parade their glamours attire along the red carpet for the waiting paps.

The Duchess of York opted for a chic blue midi dress with a military jacket for the evening.

After posing alongside Chaney, Fergie also grabbed a photo with fellow host Gok Wan and Loose Women's Linda Robson.

Linda was also joined on the night by her ITV co-star Denise Welch.

Ahead of the ceremony, TV favourite Phillip Schofield was honoured with a special recognition ahead of the ceremony.

As he couldn't be there in person, Phillip recorded a special video message, in which he broke down in tears, thanking his former wife Stephanie and their daughters for their support.

In February 2020 Phillip came out as gay at the age of 57.

While the This Morning host could sadly not attend, celebs from the world of music, sport and TV were out in force to enjoy the celebrations.
