The Strictly Come Dancing presenter didn't stray too far away from the glitz and glamour of the Strictly ballroom, donning the 'Cher Green Sequin Midi Dress' from De La Vali to attend the prestigious event at London's Royal Festival Hall. Complete with a chic one-shoulder neckline, scalloped hem and daring thigh-split, Tess' striking dress looked phenomenal on her feminine silhouette.

Fans were left swooning at Tess' striking De La Vali dress

Though Strictly Come Dancing didn't take home the award for Best Entertainment Programme, the BBC show still saw victory in the reigning champions, Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, who won Virgin Media Must-See Moment Award for their poignant dance to Symphony.

The actress, who has been deaf since birth, stole the hearts of the nation when she and Giovanni performed the poignant dance back in December, raising awareness for the deaf community so close to Rose's heart.
