Ryley, 24, bared her cleavage in a plunging silver-embellished gown featuring a daring thigh-high split.<\/p>\n

Nia opted for a trendy sage green leather co-ord, while Richard, 53, looked suave in a crisp white suit and black suede shoes.<\/p>\n

Eve, 47, put on a sizzling display in a black dress with diamante bodysuit detailing, showcasing her toned legs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kojey, 33, kept things cool in a washed leather jacket and matching trousers, while Slick Rick, real name Ricky Martin Lloyd Walters, 61, looked sharp in a plum blazer and coordinating trousers.<\/p>\n

Leigh-Anne’s appearance at the event comes after she\u00a0revealed she had been betrayed by\u00a0<\/a>her husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The singer\u00a0tied the knot with her footballer beau Andre in June 2023 after welcoming their twins together in August 2021.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Later <\/p>\n

Later in the evening, Leigh-Anne and Keisha Buchanan took to the stage to present the award for Best R&B\/Soul Act to Renee Downer, Jorja Douglas, and Stella Quaresma\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Paloma Faith on her\u00a0Mad Sad Bad<\/a> podcast, Leigh-Anne said: ‘I went through a bit of a weird time with my husband actually\u00a0and I think that sort of not being totally honest and losing trust and that kind\u00a0of betrayal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I think like heartbreak is wild, like it’s awful and especially someone that you’re so\u00a0madly in love with and that they can hurt you.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The singer explained how footballer Andre realised he was being ‘selfish’ after he moved abroad to\u00a0Greece to play for Aris Thessaloniki.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She continued: ‘Well, I think that person has to want to change and he did.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘And I think you can go through things in relationship, but if they aren’t willing to change for you, forget it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They\u00a0have to do the work and they have to turn it around because again it’s not you, it’s not on\u00a0you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘He went to therapy\u00a0and I think\u00a0for us what really helped for us, he started playing abroad and he had more time to himself to kind of look and realise that everything that he was doing was not how\u00a0you make a relationship work, it’s not. It’s selfish.’<\/p>\n

She also said the footballer ‘went out of his way’ to change for her, which led to her learning the ‘power of forgiveness’.<\/p>\n

When she was asked what she has learnt about heartbreak, Leigh-Anne admitted she was still with the person who broke her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said:\u00a0‘Some people might say, oh well why are you still with them? or why are you still giving them another chance? I guess that can be seen as a weakness and not putting yourself first but I think only you know what is truly right for you.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leigh-Anne went onto say the couple got through the ‘struggles’ and now they are in a ‘really beautiful place’.<\/p>\n

She continued: ‘If that person can really show that they want to change, you cannot change somebody but if they go out of their way to change themselves I really do think that kind of tells you everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

‘For me personally I had to go through these struggles and things in our relationship to get to the point where we are now, which is a really beautiful place.’<\/p>\n
