Jennifer Metcalfe showed off her incredible physique in a form-fitting black ensemble as she graced the 2023 British Soap Awards red carpet at The Lowry in Salford on Saturday night.
The Hollyoaks actress, 39, slipped into a sassy black bandeau top and tight black trousers as she posed up a storm at the star-studded soap bash.
Jennifer, who portrays Mercedes McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, showed off her cleavage and glimpsed her toned midriff in the barely-there top paired with a gold chain.
The TV star added pointy heels and extra gold jewelry to her chic look, as she swapped her handbag for the red carpet.
Her dark brown locks were swept into a simple updo and she added some color to her look with pink lip gloss.

This year’s British Soap Awards will be hosted by Jane McDonald, who was called up at the last minute to replace longtime presenter Phillip Schofield.
Opera singer and cruise ship favorite Jane, 60, was revealed as Phillip’s replacement on Thursday after he left ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to having an affair with a young male colleague This Morning.
He confessed to having an “ill-advised but not illegal” relationship with a man during his marriage to Stephanie Lowe, previously denying the affair when asked by his agent.
The presenter, 61, confirmed in a statement last week that he has resigned all his ITV jobs, including the ceremony.
And amid news of Jane taking over, fans hailed the star as the ‘perfect choice’ to officiate at the ceremony, which takes place at The Lowry in Salford, Greater Manchester.
Prior to hosting the awards, Jane said, “Oh my god…..everyone knows how much I love my soaps, this year I’ve had the honor of being featured in Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale so this is just a dream come true .
“Can’t wait to see all our amazing soap nominees and celebrate all their hard work with them – roll on the awards, I can’t wait!”
