Michelle looked flawless as she worked her angles at the black-tie event in the busty sheer-panelled gown. 

She styled her glossy chestnut tresses in big bouncy curls and looked radiant with a golden tan as she accentuated her features with a copper-toned eyeshadow look.

The pop star oozed glamour in the floral embellished gown which featured a flowing sheer skirt over a white mini skirt.  

Meanwhile, Hugh cut a dapper figure in a classic tuxedo and bow tie and he styled his hair with a touch of gel as he cosied up to Michelle.

Michelle looked radiant at the event after previously revealing she did not go for a day without alcohol for three years before she checked into rehab in April.  

Confessing that getting herself to rehab was the hardest part of her journey during an appearance on Loose Women, Michelle said: 'It's the first step and its the hardest to admit you have a problem and that you're powerless to drugs and alcohol.

She explained it wasn't a 'specific event' that caused her admission into rehab, but she ended up 'locked away by herself, lying and manipulating situations'.

Michelle revealed: 'I became very very ill, it was a five year process. About three years it got a bit of a hold on me, I was happy in my addiction.'

'Sometimes it's difficult to say you have an addiction cos at times it feels fun, that's the reality of it, it [alcohol] was my friend in need. 

'Any feeling, sad, happy, the sun's shining, a party - any excuse. It got a hold of me really badly about a year and a half ago.'

'My husband and friends tried an intervention to get me to rehab.'

'Three months ago I was on deaths door, I was given a couple of days [to live]. I was so ill I had lost so much weight, my skin was translucent, my belly was swollen and hard. I was sick so I could drink more. I'd feel happy so I could drink more. It controlled everything I did.  

'The last three years I've never had a day off alcohol, a drink or some sort, last September I was in hospital with a failed pancreas and liver disease.

'It wasn't looking good, even then I couldn't stop. I was told if I continued I would die but I still didnt' stop. Nothing mattered, my skin, I could see my veins, my skin was itchy, I was scrathed with scars.

'My hair has gone, this isn't mine, it's been put in by my hairdresser. The great news is that the liver repairs, it's an amazing organ. It will repair but not forget.  

'I'm under no illusions, one drink and I could be right back to where I was if not worse.'

Michelle admitted that Hugh, who she shares children Faith, nine, and Aaron, seven, with, has been her 'rock'.
