As the co-host of the Emeralds & Ivy Ball, Jenny Frost was hoping to make a good impression.

And she certainly made an impact last night as the ex-Atomic Kitten singer arrived on the red carpet in a sheer black dress, which clearly showed her underwear.

The OK! TV host, 33, showed off her slim figure in a Lisa Jayne Dann dress with a leaf pattern and split at the front, which she teamed with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

And it appeared her risque dress went down well with the guests, as she wrote on Twitter: 'I love my dress and so does everyone else - I'm auctioning it off!!! Thanks girls.'

Accompanying Frost to the ball was her new husband, Spanish scuba diving school owner Vicente 'Vinnie' Juan Spiteri.

The couple wed at their home in Ibiza in August and now split their time between the UK and Spain.

Ahead of the event, she tweeted: 'Just getting my hair done, off to co-host with the rather yummy Ronan tonight at his annual Emerald & Ivy Ball x.'

The event was organised by Ronan Keating with proceeds going to Cancer Research and the Marie Keating Foundation, set up in honour of his late mother.

He was supported at the ball by his wife Yvonne and their three children Jack, Marie and Ali.

In fact, the evening marked 12-year-old Jack's stage debut.

Tweeting beforehand, proud Ronan wrote: 'Jack is the surprise guest.'

He also uploaded a photo of his son with his guitar, writing: 'Jack ready for his first gig.'

And perhaps the partygoers could have looked to Nancy Dell'Olio for some of the entertainment following her recent stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Italian-American lawyer, 50, looked suitably glam in a strapless black ballgown and a sweptback updo.

Also in a ballgown was singer Leona Lewis, who may have been feeling chilly as she teamed her pink number with a jacket.

And there was no missing Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster, who teamed her green asymmetrical mini dress with loud matching tights - taking the Emerald theme of the ball quite literally.

Representing the football world were former England stars Alan Shearer and Sol Campbell.

Shearer's wife Lainya showed off her trim figure in a silver bandage dress, while Campbell's interior designer wife Fiona wore an asymmetrical maxi dress.

Kara Tointon's plunging green dress has got plenty of specs appeal at Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011

That's enough to give anyone double vision! Kara Tointon's plunging green dress has got plenty of specs appeal

She shimmed on to the red carpet in a pair of sexy black specs that framed her pretty face and showed off her eyes to perfection.

But it wasn't the glasses that made Kara Tointon stand out but her very daring glittery green dress.

The actress, 27, arrived at the Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011 party and got into the spirit of the night by wearing a pair of sexy secretary black-rimmed glasses.

Geek chic: Kara looked very pretty in her specs which flattered her face and her sparkling eyes

But unsurprisingly, all eyes were drawn to her plunging neckline which sank almost to her waist and left very little to the imagination and which she teamed with Michael Lewis shoes.

The Strictly Come Dancing champion was one of the celebrity guests at the event which was held at London's Battersea Power Station and was hosted by fashion guru Gok Wan.

Party girls: But while Nancy Sorrell got in the spirit of the evening by wearing her specs, Martine McCutcheon decided not to adorn a pair

She was also joined by TV presenter and wife of Vic Reeves, Nancy Sorrell, 37, who looked very chic in her black patterned shift dress and black-rimmed glasses.

Also attending was Nancy Dell'Olio, who didn't wear glasses but looked sensational in a strapless red dress with a split up her left leg.

You know that this is an event for bespectacled people, don't you girls? TOWIE's Lauren Pope and Lauren Goodger probably thought that some frame would clash with their outfits...

... but after possibly feeling a little left out, they got into the swing of things as they posed wearing fake pairs

Actress Martine McCutcheon wore a long animal print strapless dress which she teamed with a furry shawl, and former Atomic Kitten star Jenny Frost, who looked very sexy in her short cutaway black dress, and who arrived on her arm of her husband Vicente 'Vinnie' Juan Spiteri.

None of the girls wore specs to the event which was also attended by TOWIE girls Lauren Goodger and Lauren Pope, neither of whom were bespectacled either.

And your connection with the event is....? Jenny Frost arrived with her husband Vicente 'Vinnie' Juan Spiteri while Nancy Dell'Olio arrived alone but looked stunning in a strapless red dress

However, in an attempt to get into the swing of things, all four ladies were snapped wearing fake glasses as so not to feel to left out of proceedings.

Kara, who wears special dyslexia reading glasses, had helped launched the search for the UK's Spectacle Wearer of the Year in association with opticians Specsavers.

Do they suit us? Martine and Jenny were back in front of the cameras afterwards in their fake glasses

So it was only right that she wanted to be there in person to see and congratulate the winner, who was 18-year-old Lucy Stevenson from Scotland.

She joined The Wanted star Max George who was crowned the Celebrity Spectacle Wearer of the Year.

'I've put on a stone but I still feel beautiful': Liz McClarnon shows off her figure as she puts weight gain down to her new love

Posing in a swimsuit, Liz McClarnon looks confident, happy and healthy.

However, the former Atomic Kitten singer has revealed she has gained at least a stone after starting a new relationship with a man she refuses to identify.

Liz has gone from a size eight to around a 12, although she refuses to weigh herself, and says despite her new curves she still loves her body because her new man makes her feel beautiful.

Fuller figure: Liz McClarnon has posed in a swimming costume after revealing she has put on at least a stone thanks to her new relationship

She said: 'My boyfriend is really tall and I end up eating the same amount of food as him, so that’s why I’ve put on weight. I used to be a size 8 and now I’m probably a 12.

'But at least my boobs have grown and I really like them this size! They’re about a 34C/D and they shrink a cup size if I lose weight. Ideally, I’d like to be back to a size 10. I know I should exercise more, but it’s hard to find the time as I’m always so busy.'

'My boyfriend makes me feel beautiful and loves my body. I don’t mind walking around naked in front of him.'

'I feel beautiful': Former Atomic Kitten star Liz has gone from a size eight (right) to a 12

Liz, who has been dating her new man for the past eight months, admitted she started gaining weight through her love of food, stemming from winning Celebrity Masterchef in 2008.

And despite losing a stone in December 2010, taking her from a size 10 to an eight, Liz says the weight has slowly crept back on.

She said: 'I hate weighing myself and haven’t done so since I was 9st and a size 8 when I did the Closer diet.'

Liz is now keen to shed the weight, and has been discussing the best ways of slimming down with her friend Michelle Heaton, the singer turned personal trainer who recently revealed she is expecting her first child.

She said: 'I recently saw my mate Michelle and she looks amazing. I told her I have too many wobbly bits and don’t like my upper thighs or muffin top.

'She said if I wasn’t happy, I should cut out white carbs and substitute brown ones. So I’m going to eat sweet potatoes and brown rice, which she said would make me feel less sluggish.

'Fad diets don’t work for me. I’ve tried the no-carbs thing, but only lasted for three days. It’s just a case of eating sensibly and exercising.'

And while Liz looks incredible in the Closer magazine shoot, she told the publication she hates being called 'sexy'.

She laughed: 'When I was in Atomic Kitten, we had to stop doing the lads’ mags because I looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights in the photos! I’m not really a sexy person. I’m the girl next door and that’s how I like it.'

The full interview with Liz is in this week's Closer magazine, out now.
