Maura, 34, has kept a low profile since her drunken kiss with Danny Jones in March at a Brits after-party.

But she was back with a bang for the prestigious Bafta Television Awards with P&O Cruises.
Strictly finalist Tasha Ghouri wowed in a white corseted dress that showcased her slender middle, while Mafs' Ella caught the eye in a black dress with a huge white feathered train.

The glittering event at the Royal Festival Hall on the Southbank saw the great and good of the TV world celebrate their successes from the past year.

Reality favourite The Traitors, entertainment shows Saturday Night Take- away and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show plus hit dramas Blue Lights and The Responder were all nominated.
