Privacy NoticeLottie Tomlinson opted for an all-black ensemble at The Pride Of Britain Awards tonight. The 26-year-old influencer and sibling to One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, 32, stepped out on the red carpet hours after paying a heartfelt tribute to Liam Payne, who sadly passed away last week aged 31. Donning an elegant floor-length gown, the pregnant star, already mum to one-year-old son Lucky with her tennis player partner Lewis Burton, 32, radiated glamour at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. Adoringly cradling her baby bump, Lottie joined fellow celebs for the prestigious event while proud dad-to-be Lewis cut a dapper figure by her side.

Earlier on the day of the awards, Lottie took to Instagram to express her sorrow over Liam’s death, posting touching words alongside footage from her journey: “Home with a heavy heart. Rest in peace, Liam, you were loved by so many and will be so greatly missed. Sending so much love to everyone.” She also shared a moving black and white image of her brother with Liam, symbolising her grief with a simple white heart emoji, reports the Mirror. Louis also shared a deeply moving tribute to his late friend and former bandmate, Liam, in recent days. The singer took to social media to pen: “I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.” He continued with admiration: “I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18; I was instantly amazed by his voice, but more importantly, as time went on, I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for. Liam was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band.” Louis also highlighted Liam’s crucial role in One Direction: “And for the record, Liam was, in my opinion, the most vital part of One Direction. His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on. Thank you for shaping us Liam.” Meanwhile, the Pride of Britain Awards is marking its 25th anniversary, honouring remarkable individuals who make the UK proud.

A host of celebrities, including Oscar winners and chart-topping artists, will join in celebrating the winners’ incredible feats, from courageous kids to dedicated fundraisers and lifesavers. While they may be there in droves to show their support, the stars aren’t the usual big names from the worlds of showbiz, TV, film, music and sport. Instead, it’s these celebrities who are doing the applauding as they honour unsung heroes from communities all over the UK. The awards, hosted by Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo, celebrate the accomplishments of truly extraordinary individuals who make our world a better place and inspire others. The pair became tight-knit after the former Countdown host met Ashley’s brother, Jordan, in the I’m A Celebrity jungle back in 2016.
