BAFTA TV Awards: An elegant Katherine Kelly leads the patriotic carpet glamour in a sexy black dress

She bid farewell to the cobbles of Coronation Street earlier this year to tread the boards at the National Theatre.

But tonight gave Katherine Kelly a chance to catch up and have a night out with all her old soap comrades - even if she was in danger of taking the red carpet glory.  Miss Kelly, 32, looked sensational as she arrived at the BAFTA TV Awards in a very elegant and chic strapless black dress.
As she stopped and posed for the cameras outside the Royal Festival Hall in London, she showed off her slender frame in the stunning frock by couture designer Marina Qureshi.
But as she spun round, she showed off the back which revealed that it was a lace dress with a black chiffon overlay.
And although she hasn't been in Corrie since January, she was there to cheer on her friends and former castmates who were going head-to-head in the Soap and Continuing Drama category with EastEnders, Holby City and Shameless.
Katherine, who played Becky McDonald for six years, was joined by current star Michelle Keegan, who was without beau Max George from boyband The Wanted but proved she can dazzle just as well on her own.

EastEnders star John Partridge and Corrie's Bill Roache gave the soap boys something to be proud of while Sherlock stars - and on-screen enemies Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the Baker Street detective and is up for Leading Actor, and Andrew Scott who portrays Jim Moriarty, were also in attendance.

Celebrity Juice captains, TV presenter Holly Willoughby and radio host Fearne Cotton were also guests and looked very pretty as they stopped for pictures and were promptly accosted by the show's host and funnyman Keith Lemon.
