Princess Andre, Amy Childs and GK Barry Shine in Black Gowns at ITV Palooza
A Night of Glamour and Celebration at the ITV Palooza
The ITV Palooza, a highly anticipated event that brings together some of the most iconic TV stars, took place on Tuesday night. The gathering, held at the Barbican in London, was a celebration of talent from across the network’s diverse programming, including drama, daytime, reality, sport, news, and entertainment.
Daytime TV hosts Susanna Reid and Cat Deeley were among the standout attendees, bringing their signature glamour to the event. Susanna, 54, turned heads in a striking red gown paired with gold heels, while Cat Deeley dazzled in a lilac minidress and green velvet heels. The pair celebrated the 18-month anniversary of her hosting the show alongside Ben Shephard, 50, following a challenging period for the program after Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's departure.
Other notable figures included Olivia, 34, who opted for a more casual look in a mustard yellow Saint Laurent knit dress and bow heels. Meanwhile, Princess Andre, known for her reality show The Princess Diaries, made an elegant appearance in a black off-the-shoulder gown, complemented by a sparkly silver bag and a poppy in honor of Remembrance Day. Her father Peter and his wife Emily did not attend the event, as they had decided to step back from her ITV show due to backlash from her mother, Katie.
Amy Childs, 35, made a bold fashion statement in a black satin gown featuring a cut-out at the bust and a thigh-high split. She completed the look with embellished heels and a black scarf draped over her shoulders. Amy recently addressed her dramatic weight loss, explaining that she had been trying to gain weight after losing over two stone due to stress over her mother’s health. She was seen on the red carpet alongside her cousin Harry Derbidge and fellow TOWIE star Jordan Brook.
GK also turned heads in a black gown with an asymmetric hemline that showcased her legs. Josie Gibson, 40, looked sophisticated in a black velvet jumpsuit after losing a staggering five stone. Katie Piper added a touch of drama in a pale pink tulle crop top paired with a Chanel handbag.
A Star-Studded Lineup
The event also saw appearances from celebrities such as Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross from Celebrity Traitors, as well as Graham Norton and Love Island stars Cacharel Mercer and Toni Laites. The night was not only about fashion but also marked a significant milestone for ITV, as ITVX surpassed 3 billion streams for the year to date. This achievement was reached more than three weeks earlier than in 2024, highlighting the platform’s rapid growth.
As the evening came to a close, it was clear that the ITV Palooza was more than just a showcase of upcoming shows—it was a celebration of the people behind the screens, the stories they tell, and the impact they have on audiences across the UK. From the red carpet to the backstage, the event was a testament to the enduring appeal of television and the stars who make it shine.
