Beth Tweddle showed off her chic sense of style as she cozied up with her husband Andy Allen at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards at MediaCityUK in Salford on Tuesday.

The retired artistic gymnast, 38, wore a black and brown floral print dress that ended just above her knee.

Former Dancing On Ice winner Beth's long-sleeved garment was fitted at the waist to accentuate her hourglass figure.

She carried a cream-colored clutch bag decorated with glittering silver beads.

Sportswoman Beth opted for a pair of nude heels to boost her height as she stood with her arm around husband Andy, who she married in 2018.
