Kirsty Gallacher, 47, looks stunning in a semi-sheer lace jumpsuit as she hosts the Laureus World Sport Awards in Paris – after admitting she’s ‘ready to find love’
There was no shortage of admiring glances when Kirsty Gallacher attended the Laureus World Sport Awards in Paris on Monday night – after admitting she’s ready to embark on a new relationship.
The presenter, 47, looked stunning in a semi-sheer lace jumpsuit as she made her way onto the red carpet in the French capital’s Cour Vendome ahead of the annual event.
The fitted silhouette drew attention to her slim physique as she posed for a series of obligatory photos before taking her place alongside a star-studded guest list of sports greats.
Kirsty, who attended Monday’s ceremony, completed the look with a pair of peeptoe heels, while her hair was parted down the middle and tied back in a neat ponytail.
With deftly applied make-up that drew even more attention to her naturally beautiful features, the presenter made sure to stand out at the event, which honors individuals and teams from the sporting world, along with sporting achievements throughout the year.

The appearance comes after Kirsty admitted she was finally ready for a serious relationship, seven years after her divorce from rugby player Paul Sampson.
Speaking to close friend and fellow presenter Gabby Logan on her Mid Point podcast, she said, “I’d like to meet someone right now. I feel like I’m ready to meet someone now. I thought this 18 months ago when I last saw someone.
“I was not in the right place at all. I’m more ready now, I miss company, I’d like someone to catch me off guard.
‘I haven’t had that in a long time. That’s what you want as a human being. I am very romantic and would love that right now. I’m ready now.
“I am currently on a dating app. I don’t even know how to work with it. I never know if the dating app is for me.’

Gabby urged Kirsty to give the dating app a good try, sharing how a friend of hers is now happily married after a successful breakfast date.
The star has been linked to numerous public faces in the past, including footballer Rio Ferdinand and actor Tim Vincent, before meeting ex-husband Paul in 1999.
After the collapse of her marriage, she was linked to rugby player Danny Cipriani in 2016. During their suspected six-month romance, the pair had only been pictured together once, at the ATP World Tennis Finals in London.
A year later, she was linked to actor Laurence Fox. The Sky Sports presenter is said to have had a secret relationship with Billie Piper’s ex-husband for six months, but the couple decided to call it quits after they got tired of ‘sneaking around’.
A source told The sun at the time: “They had fun while it lasted, but sneaking around got a little tiring after all.”
More recently, she has been linked to former Take Me Out presenter Paddy McGuinness.
