Kym Marsh shares touching tribute to daughter as she leads Pride of Manchester glamour

Kym Marsh and Christine McGuinness dazzled as they walked the red carpet of the Pride of Manchester Awards.

The former Coronation Street actress hosted the annual event which saw stars from the world of soaps, reality TV and football come out to support those who often go unrecognised.

Each year, a whole host of unsung heroes from Manchester are thanked for their incredible work which sees them walk home with the prestigious gong.

This year, Kym was joined by her daughter Emilie Mae Cunliffe following her split from her husband Scott Ratcliff as she stepped out without her wedding and engagement rings on.

Kym and Emilie looked every inch the stars as the former Hear'Say singer rocked a stylish off-the-shoulder dress featuring a plunging neckline as she ensured all eyes would be on her.

Meanwhile, her daughter Emilie opted to wear an all-in-one suit which exposed one shoulder as her caramel locks flowed freely over her shoulder.

Kicking things off, budding singer Emilie took to the stage to perform a song, leaving her mum in complete awe as she said: "What about that performance?

"Voice of an angel - my little angel in fact, for those of you who didn't spot the resemblance, Emilie is in fact my daughter and I could not be prouder to follow her on to this stage."

Despite being married to one of the biggest names in football, Fern Maguire, the wife of Manchester United and England ace Harry looked stunning as she graced the red carpet.

The Sheffield native who holds a First Class degree in science and physiotherapy rocked a casual yet chic look as she donned a black top, with a cream silky blazer and long trousers.

In the make-up department, she chose a minimalist look, showcasing her natural beauty with just a touch of lip gloss on her plump pout.

Her footballer beau kept things smart as he wore a stone-coloured suit and white shirt with brown shoes.

Taking to the red carpet, Christine McGuinness who appeared on ITVBe's The Real Housewives of Cheshire looked incredible as she slipped into a yellow dress which cinched in at her waist, complementing her gym-honed figure.

Christine risked a major wardrobe malfunction in her backless stylish number which left very little to the imagination.

Janette Manrara made the most of one of her final nights out before giving birth as she and her fellow Strictly Come Dancing star husband Aljaž Škorjanec were all smiles.

The professional dancer cradled her ever-growing baby bump just weeks before she is due to give birth as she chose to wear a showstopping pink dress with ruffled shoulder detailing.

Despite it being announced that she became the latest person to be booted out of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Helen Flanagan swapped her jungle clothes for a more glamorous look.

The former Coronation Street actress looked as though she had stepped out in Hollywood as she slipped into a glittering gold dress which certainly caught the attention of onlookers as it dazzled under the beaming lights.

Meanwhile, pregnant Love Island star Laura Anderson was glowing as she struck up a pose in a yellow number, showcasing her blossoming bump as she flashed a smile.

Her colourful number accentuated her bump and figure as she placed one hand on her hip for the cameras.
