Denise Van Outen places on a courageous face after being left ‘heartbroken’ by Jake Hall’s tragic dying as she joins glamorous Gabby Logan and Carol Vorderman on the Women’s Football Awards

Gabby Logan caught the eye in a glamorous red gown as she hit the star-studded red carpet at the Women’s Football Awards in London on Thursday. 

The presenter, 53, looked sensational in the sleeveless satin number which boasted a wrap detailing and cinch at the waist. 

She elevated her frame in a pair of black strappy heels and accessorised with a pair of bold silver drop earrings. 

Gabby was all smiles as she posed on the red carpet alongside Carol Vorderman and Denise Van Outen. 

Carol showed off her slimmed-down figure in a stylish black zip front blouse which she tucked into a matching maxi skirt. 

The Countdown star cinched in her waist with a chunky black belt and added inches to her frame in a pair of eye catching leopard print heels. 

Styling her long brunette tresses in waves, Carol wore a glamorous palette of makeup and opted for a pair of hoop earrings. 

During the night, Carol took to the stage to share some inspirational words to the nominee and admitted she was ‘starstruck’ looking out at the crowd as she thanked the athletes for ‘transforming women’s football’. 

‘To all tonight’s nominees, congratulations you are the very best’, she said. ‘Warrior women one and all and doing it on your terms without apology.

‘I know I will cry tonight with the joy you goddesses give so much, please keep us all smiling as the years go on. Thank you.’

Meanwhile Denise stunned in a white and pink floral dress which featured a corset top and maxi skirt. 

The DJ looked incredible in the number which she accessorised by layering a number of pearl necklaces.  

Elsewhere Love Island star Gabby Allen showed off her amazing figure in a strapless lace back corset which she paired with coordinated trousers. 

The TV personality rocked an edgy silver necklace and elevated her frame in a pair of silver platform heels as she posed on the red carpet. 

Jamie Carragher cut a dapper figure in an all black tuxedo as he posed with Gabby at the bash.  

It comes after Gabby revealed a surprising snub from her former Match Of The Day colleague Gary Lineker, after his controversial departure from the show.

Gary departed his job as the host of the BBC show in May after being embroiled in a social media row over a post he shared about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult.

Lineker issued an unreserved apology for the incident at the time, but just weeks later announced he would be leaving Match Of The Day after more than two decades.

In a bold move bosses decided to hire three different presenters to replace him, with Gabby rotating duties with Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates.

But despite regularly working alongside Gary on BBC Sport, Gabby has shared she is yet to hear from him since taking over his coveted job.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards, Gabby said that in contrast to Gary’s outspoken online views, she rarely uses social media as she feels it’s become a ‘toxic place.’

She said: ‘I’ll be honest. I haven’t been on X or Instagram for about a year. I’m just like ”what’s the point?’;

‘I’ve got bosses and people I really respect who tell me, what they want, and if you start listening to people you’ve never met before, you can’t listen to everybody.

‘So yeah, it became a really toxic place before that for lots of reasons politically and everything else.

‘So why would I damage myself either mentally reading or not just reading, but just horrible things, so the world’s got enough love and sadness in it doesn’t it?’

Asked whether Gary had been in touch since the season started in August, Gabby replied: ‘No, but I’m sure he has. I’m sure he has.’

Gabby had previously asked if her own social media use had changed in the wake of Gary’s fall from grace.

‘I’ve been conducting myself on social media while working at the BBC for nearly two decades, so it doesn’t change anything,’ she told Radio Times.

‘The broadcaster is probably under the most scrutiny of any in the country because of the way it’s funded and because it’s accountable to the public. That’s how it should be. We strive to have the highest standards. Hopefully, we’ll just get on with our jobs.’

Lineker was temporarily suspended from the BBC in March 2023 after an impartiality row over comments he made criticising the then-government’s new asylum policy.

The BBC’s highest-paid presenter had headed up Match Of The Day since 1999 and announced he would be leaving the programme last year at the end of the 2024/25 season, but would still host World Cup and FA Cup coverage.

However, his early exit in May means he will no longer front the corporation’s coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup in 2025/26.

Viewers rallied behind Gary following his departure, and in September he was awarded the Presenter gong at the National Television Awards, beating longtime winners Ant and Dec.

He now owns the podcasting company Goalhanger, and hosts The Rest Is Football podcast for the network alongside Alan Shearer and Micah Richards.
