Giovanna Fletcher exuded glamour as she and husband Tom attended Kate Middleton‘s star-studded Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey on Friday.
The I’m A Celebrity winner and McFly star, both 39, looked more than loved-up as they arrived hand-in-hand.
The Princess of Wales, 42, arrived to lead her family at the festive concert after the most difficult year of her life.
Giovanna looked incredibly elegant in a ruffled black dress and sophisticated green coat, teamed with knee-high boots.
The West End actress has been married to her childhood sweetheart for 12 years and the couple share three sons Buzz, 10, Buddy, eight, and Max, six.
Giovanna and Tom joined a host of stars including Hannah Waddingham, Paloma Faith, Susanna Reid and Amy Dowden.

This time last year Kate was focusing on her work and children, and looking forward to the festive season with little inclination of what was to come.
Weeks later she underwent major abdominal surgery in hospital, after which doctors broke the news that they had found evidence of cancer and advised her to undergo a gruelling course of preventative chemotherapy.
Kate and her husband Prince William found their lives turned upside down.
Now, having completed her treatment, the royal is beginning to return to public duties and will hold her fourth ‘Together At Christmas’ carol service at historic Westminster Abbey, which will be televised by ITV on Christmas Eve.
The princess, who has been ‘hands on’ over every aspect of the service and held regular planning meetings at Windsor, arrived on her own at 4pm to view the abbey and oversee last minute arrangements.
Kate put on an elegant display in an Alexander McQueen red coat, featuring a statement black bow, which she teamed with her black Ralph Lauren boots for the occasion.
She is set to be joined just before the start of the event by her three children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six – as well as her husband, the Prince of Wales, who will read the first Lesson.
The entire Middleton family clan, who have been Kate’s dedicated support network throughout, will also be present, as will other members of the Royal Family. The King and Queen, however, are not amongst the guests.

Her father-in-law has, however, donated Christmas trees from Windsor Great Park to decorate the building, which will later be donated to the local community.
Looking typically stylish for the outing, Kate completed her festive ensemble with a red check skirt, her Mulberry Amberley Baroque Pearl Earrings and a £110 Gold Plated bangle by British brand Halcyon Days.
The bangle is thought to have been a birthday present from Prince William in 2020, and features a subtle nod to Princess Diana as it’s called ‘the Salamander Torque Forget-Me-Not & Gold Bangle ‘ – named after the late royal’s favourite flower.
Showcasing her stylish prowess, Kate kept her brunette locks in soft waves and added to her features with a smattering of glamorous makeup.
The 1,600-strong congregation largely consists of members of the public recommended by Lord Lieutenants across the country for their community and charity work as a ‘thank you’ from the princess.
