Her stunning outfit enhanced her petite frame by adding a stylish dark brown leather jacket, which she wore open, and Nike AirForce sneakers.

As a fashion statement, the model rocked a Dior saddle shoulder bag and later took the challenging stab at playing the maxi piano.

At the event, the Real Full Monty star joined Scott Thomas, brother of soap alumni Adam and Ryan Thomas.

The TV star and Scott, 35, flashed cheerful grins as they stopped to pose with Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts.

Scott opted for blue trousers and a white T-shirt, while David, 30, showed off his tan by putting on a signature leggy display.

The Piano’s series 2 kicks off on April 28 and TV favorite Claudia Winkleman invites a talented amateur pianist to play live at some of the country’s busiest train stations.

But once the artists start, they unknowingly enter a new competition, judged by both renowned pianist Lang Lang and pop star Mika.

The lucky pianists to be chosen will then be invited to perform in front of a concert audience of thousands of people in the show’s grand finale.

Earlier this month, The Game star Christine broke down in tears as she spoke about her fear of death on BBC’s spiritual walking program Pilgrimage.

She said it “absolutely petrifies her” that “one day she will have to leave her children,” adding that she “wouldn’t know what to do without them.”

The mother of three took part in a 130-mile religious trek with a group of celebrities, all from different beliefs, beliefs and backgrounds.

Christine and her ex-husband Paddy share twins Leo and Penelope, 10, and Felicity, seven, who all have autism, like their mother.

Despite now admitting that she is ‘not afraid of dying anymore’ thanks to the show, Pilgrimage looks at Christine as she battled fear at the time.

The Piano Series 2 starts on Sunday April 28 at 9pm on Channel 4.
