Television personality Scarlett Moffatt has revealed her disappointment after being forced to miss one of the most glittering events in the celebrity calendar - the Pride of Britain Awards.
The former Gogglebox star took to social media to share her frustration after being struck down by a "nasty bug" that left her unable to attend the prestigious ceremony.
The Dress That Never Saw the Red Carpet
In an emotional Instagram post, the 33-year-old showcased the stunning silver ensemble she had carefully selected for the occasion. The glamorous floor-length gown featured intricate beading and a elegant silhouette that would have undoubtedly turned heads on the red carpet.
"Absolutely gutted doesn't even cover it," Moffatt confessed to her followers. "I was so looking forward to celebrating all the incredible winners at the Pride of Britain Awards, but sometimes your body has other plans."
Social Media Support Pours In
Fans and fellow celebrities quickly flooded the comments section with messages of support and well-wishes. Many praised her for prioritising her health while others expressed admiration for the beautiful dress that never got its moment in the spotlight.
"Your health comes first, lovely! There will be plenty more red carpet moments," wrote one supportive follower, while another added: "That dress is absolutely stunning! Hopefully you'll get to wear it to another special event soon."
A Night of Missed Connections
The Pride of Britain Awards, known for bringing together the biggest names in entertainment, sports, and public life, would have seen Moffatt rubbing shoulders with numerous celebrities and honouring extraordinary members of the public.
Despite her absence, the TV personality made sure to acknowledge the importance of the event, stating: "Sending so much love to all the amazing winners tonight. Your stories are truly inspirational and you all deserve this recognition so much."
Moffatt ended her post on a positive note, promising her fans that she's focusing on recovery and looking forward to her next public appearance when she's back to full health.
