and husband put on a loved-up display as they hit the ' red carpet at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena on Saturday.

The TV personality, 58, who secretly wed the celebrity hairdresser, 49, in a low-key December 2025 ceremony, stunned in a striped mini dress.

Davina's stylish look hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure and added extra height to her frame with a pair of black ankle boots.

Meanwhile Michael caught the eye in a black suit with striking silver lapels, accessorising with colourful jewellery and a pair of dark shades. 

The lovebirds could not keep their hands off each other and posed up a storm ahead of the star-studded ceremony.
