Katherine Jenkins enjoys a Royal Ascot date with husband Andrew Levitas as Gemma Owen brings along her dad Michael to lead a star-studded turnout

Katherine Jenkins and Gemma Owen crossed the start line first as guests arrived at Royal Ascot for Ladies Day on Thursday afternoon.

Mezzo-soprano Katherine was joined by filmmaker husband Andrew Levitas as proceedings got under way at the Berkshire event.

The 43-year-old Welsh star looked suitably glamorous in a figure-hugging cream dress as she greeted spectators shortly after taking to the course.

Black stiletto heels completed the look, while a pretty netted fascinator served as the focal point as she posed for photos.

On a warm day in southeast England, Levitas, 46, opted for a gray three-piece suit and sophisticated top hat as he accompanied his wife.

Just behind them, former Love Island star Gemma was joined by her father, retired Liverpool and England footballer Michael Owen.

The TV personality, 21, turned heads in a figure-hugging halter-neck dress and heels, while her intricately designed wide-brimmed headpiece ensured she stayed cool as she watched the day’s events.

Michael, 44, was in his element having previously won Royal Ascot in 2011 on his own horse Brown Panther.

Meanwhile, Nick Knowles and his fiancée Katie Dadzie looked as loved up as ever as they attended day three from Royal Ascot in Berkshire on Thursday.

The couple, who have been engaged since August last year, gazed sweetly into each other’s eyes as Nick beamed from ear to ear.

The DIY SOS star, 61, didn’t hold back with his fashion choices, opting for a statement black top hat and a matching long black blazer jacket.

Adding some summer color, he opted for a light blue waistcoat and baby pink tie, while tucking a pink rose into his lapel.

He completed the look with dark gray pinstripe trousers as he posed with his arm around his wife-to-be.

Meanwhile, Katie, 33, wore a stylish white and black polka dot midi dress and tied around her waist with a matching black belt.

She accessorized the look with a pair of black wedges, a black and white hat and a black leather bag.

TV presenter Charlotte Hawkins was also in attendance on another race day as she turned heads in a bright pink ensemble.

The Good Morning Britain star, 49, paired the pink long-sleeved dress with a pink hat and pink heels.

David Sullivan, 75, and his fiancée Ampika Pickston, 42, were also in attendance together as the model stunned in a plunging purple jumpsuit.

She showed off her ample cleavage in the ensemble which she paired with a large purple hat and a leather purple bag.

Meanwhile, the former Daily Sport and Sunday Sport owner looked sharp in a smart suit, red vest and stylish mirrored glasses.

Lady Victoria Hervey opted for a white dress with feathers and a sassy high leg slit.

She clutched her white headpiece as she smiled at the snaps as her feathers fluttered in the wind.

Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the British racing calendar, started on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and runs until Saturday.

The King and Queen are likely to join punters on the famous racing event and cement their position as racing champions, just like Queen Elizabeth II. They hope to add to their number of Royal Ascot winners.

Charles and Camilla took on the late Queen’s thoroughbreds and have entered a series of horses over the next five days.

The late Queen was a passionate owner and breeder of thoroughbreds, and had more than twenty Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign.

Traditionally, the King and Queen arrive in a carriage procession with their guests at Royal Ascot, a convention that will celebrate its 200th anniversary next year as it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV.

In March, Nick revealed why he still hasn’t planned his wedding to his fiancée Katie.

The DIY SOS presenter announced in August last year that he would marry the owner of the sex toy company.

Speaking to The Sun at the Spiring Women Awards on Friday, he explained how the couple’s “busy schedules” got in the way.

Nick said, “Not yet. Still undecided. I’m still thinking about it.

“I’ve been away too much with all the travel shows I’ve been doing. Katie has been very busy with the business.”

The TV personality continued, “And as that gets busier, the time to fit into a week’s worth of schedules becomes harder and harder to disappear.”

Nick and Katie got engaged in New Orleans in August 2023, with the couple announcing the happy news on Instagram.

Nick’s junior DIY SOS host Katie, 27, looked delighted in a series of photos, including Nick proposing while down on one knee.

She captioned her post, “So at the last minute something special happened in New Orleans.”

Nick wrote: “There was a Haribo ring incident in New Orleans. Very happy.’

TV star Nick, who split from wife Jessica Rose Moor in 2016, made his first appearance with Katie in September 2021 after ending his romance with PR guru Emily Hallinan in February 2020.
