Melanie Sykes joined a host of famous faces at the TRIC Christmas Party in London on Tuesday night, turning heads in a stylish red lace midi-dress. The form-fitting, sleeveless number featured a high neck and crochet lace detailing, and costs just £58 from high-street brand Paper Dolls at ASOS. The 47-year-old teamed the design with metallic strappy heels and a white clutch. Beauty-wise, Melanie styled her long, brunette hair in loose waves that tumbled past her shoulders. A glowy base and sweep of bronzer across the apples of her cheeks radiated her complexion, while a smoky eye made her large brown eyes stand out. A defined eyebrow and nude lip completed her look.

The new Voice coach and the mother-of-two were said to have initially bonded over their love of fitness, with a source revealing that they were introduced by a mutual friend. "They were bonding over her fitness programme. He was a fan of her gym selfies and thought that she had an amazing body," a source told The Sun, adding that the couple "have both been determined for nobody to find out. It's been a bit off and on, and there's a real physical attraction between them".
