Helen Flanagan looked stunning in a sparkly black and white dress as she arrived at the 2025 Pride of Britain Awards in London on Monday. She was among the first celebrities to walk the red carpet at the event, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

The actress was joined by Strictly’s Amy Dowden, who looked stunning in a purple strapless gown.

Helen wore a stunning black sequined dress with a long, flowing white train. Despite the glamorous look, she had to navigate a rain-soaked red carpet, just like many other celebrities that night.

Amy looked glamorous at the event, where she was covering the Lorraine show for ITV, and turned heads in her striking dress.

Shortly after Amy, GK Barry made an impressive entrance in a black lace dress, accompanied by her girlfriend, footballer Ella Rutherford.

Ashley James turned heads at the event in a striking silver dress. The gown featured a low-cut, corset-style top that revealed a significant amount of cleavage.

The Pride of Britain Awards are back for their 26th year, and Ashley Banjo and Carol Vorderman will once again host the show, marking their fourth year together as co-hosts.

The awards ceremony, held at Grosvenor House, will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX this Thursday, October 23rd, at 8 PM.

Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks will host the red carpet event for the second year in a row, streaming live on YouTube. GK Barry returns to create online content for the event.

Since 1999, this event has celebrated the incredible accomplishments of people from all over the UK, nominated by the public.

Once the initial thousands of applications are narrowed down, the Pride of Britain judging panel selects the winners.

Hundreds of the UK’s biggest stars will come together to celebrate the nation’s unsung heroes. 

A glamorous event is set to welcome celebrities like Cat Deeley, Sam Ryder, Jesy Nelson, Denise Van Outen, Katie Piper, Louise Redknapp, Rob Rinder, Olivia Attwood, Harry Redknapp, Vicky Pattinson, Ben Shephard, and Dani Dyer on the red carpet.

Before the glamorous awards show, Carol explained that each year, the Pride of Britain winners reveal something meaningful about our society.

With so much negativity and conflict in the world today, this year’s winners remind us of what truly unites us: bravery, understanding, and a genuine concern for others.

I’m really excited to meet them and share their accomplishments with everyone. It’s going to be a privilege getting to know them.

Ashley also shared that meeting the Pride of Britain winners is consistently a wonderful experience, and she expects this year to be the same.

Their accomplishments are truly remarkable, but they always remain humble about them.

There’s nothing quite like publicly celebrating these incredible people and letting them know how much the entire nation values and loves them.
