Piers Morgan dazzled on the red carpet as he poured himself into a figure hugging black dinner jacket/bow tie combo that showed off every curve. Meanwhile, Lee Mack failed to impress after settling for a dowdy black dinner jacket & bow tie.

Headline should read "Two healthy and happy, talented women are celebrated (and celebrate others) for their professional success"@DailyMirror should be ashamed and as a society we should rail against this lazy writing (I won't call it journalism) @ScarlettMoffatt – you rock! https://t.co/4AGpQ2jLfX
