Jacqueline Jossa leads the glamour in embellished semi-sheer gown as she goes head to head on the red carpet with soap rivals Jennifer Metcalfe and Georgia May Foote at the National Television Awards
|
The red carpet was freshly rolled outside the O2 ahead of this year’s National Television Awards following a golden 12-moonth period for British drama.
With EastEnders up for a Best Drama gong it was Jaqueline Jossa who stood out as guests arrived at the annual event on Wednesday evening.
The actress caught the eye in a semi-sheer nude gown with highly distinctive floral embellishments that were all the more noticeable next to the otherwise neutral ensembles worn by her two co-stars, Rita Simons and Samantha Womack.

Jacqueline, 21, completed her graceful outfit with a pair of white peep-toe heels that she put to good by sashaying into the cavernous venue with the extended cast of BBC1's flagship show.
The actress had stiff competition for best dress, with Caroline Flack and Laura Whitmore both sporting monochrome ensembles.
Arriving alone on Wednesday evening, TV presenter Caroline opted for a glossy white outfit - the focal point of which was a loose fitting blazer jacket, beneath which a skort suit was in evidence.
The 34-year-old finished things off with a pair of strappy gold heels, while accessories were pared back to a single statement ring.
Competing for the top drama trophy are Doctor Who - on a high from its 50th anniversary celebrations and well-watched Christmas episode - alongside Downton Abbey, Call The Midwife and Broadchurch.
Broadchurch is up for further honours with both its stars up for the newly introduced best TV detective award, Idris Elba for Luther, Bradley Walsh for Law and Order: UK, Scott And Bailey's Suranne Jones and Benedict Cumberbatch for Sherlock.
