Christine McGuinness saw the funny side as she was caught in a video dashing off stage after presenting a gong at the Pride of Manchester awards. The model dazzled as she hit the red carpet at the event at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester.
Christine looked stunning a sparkling backless pale yellow gown which offset her golden tan. She kept her blonde locks down in a relaxed, straight style and chose a bronze makeup palette with a glossy caramel lip gloss for the occasion.
She also coordinated with a pal at the awards to recognise acts of bravery, long-lasting battles against the odds and inspirational campaigning on Wednesday night (May 10). Christine was one of the many award presenters on the night.

The mum-of-three got up on stage alongside Labour MP Lisa Nandy and host Kym Marsh as they presented the Special Recognition award to Peter Garsden, a lawyer who has dedicated his career to achieving justice for victims of child sex abuse.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday (May 11), Christine shared a clip showing her leaving the stage. "Quickest exit off the stage award goes to... Meeee," she wrote with a crying laughing emoji.
The 35-year-old, who has been open about her autism since her diagnosis at 33, added: "It's always an honour to present an award but WOW my nerves, anxiety and sensory overloads spins my head."
Speaking from her car in a previous video posted to her Instagram Story, Christine, who looked fresh-faced and gorgeous in a strapless black dress, said: "I'm tired today... My voice keeps going on me as well but I had such a good night. I went to the Pride of Manchester Awards.
"[It was] a really, really emotional, inspiring evening. Just incredible. The winners there were just unreal." She added: "I gave an award out to an amazing man named Peter and you know, I'm not comfortable ons tage. I'm a nervous wreck but I had to do this award because he was just amazing.
"But I've found this little clip... I literally give the award out and run off the stage," Christine laughed. "I couldn't wait to get off. But I saw loads of people that I love which was amazing. I caught up with Colson [Smith] who I did The Games with, Colson's from Corrie, and I saw Teddy [Soares] who I did The Real Full Monty with.
"I saw Helen Flanagan, I love her! I saw Jenny Powell... I bumped into hwe in Ibiza last week and I saw her last night.l It's kind of like having friends you don't need to keep in touch with which is great for me. But I'm tired now and I'm done with communicating so I'm going to have a nice, gorgeous, quiet night tonight."
