The 54-year-old presenter and Heart Radio favourite stole the spotlight in a striking black lace gown featuring an elegant thigh-high split and a daring cut-out neckline.

The glamorous evening included a fundraising auction and surprise live performances from several well-known music acts, with all proceeds going toward the charity’s vital community work. Barclaycard served as the event’s headline sponsor.

Joining Holden on the blue carpet was fellow Heart Radio star Ashley Roberts, 44, who commanded attention in a bold and ultra-glam look.

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, also part of the Global family through her work with Smooth Radio, opted for timeless elegance on the night.

The 57-year-old broadcaster wore a shimmering gold dress with subtle metallic texture, adding a sophisticated glow to the evening’s festivities.

Speaking recently about home life with husband Chris Hughes and their daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, the presenter shared that her children remain refreshingly unimpressed by her fame.

She joked that her younger daughter “does not want any connection” with her at school events, revealing that Hollie once crossed the road to avoid being seen with her.

Holden added that both girls are “very down-to-earth,” crediting her efforts to teach them resilience and humility — key traits, she says, for anyone entering the entertainment world.

While Lexi has begun pursuing a modelling career after signing with the prestigious Storm agency, Holden shared that Hollie has no interest in stepping into the spotlight.

Global’s Make Some Noise continues to make a significant impact by funding grassroots projects that ensure no one faces hardship alone.
