THE stars of The Only Way Is Essex flashed the flesh tonight as they joined forces on the red carpet of the ITV Gala.

Everyone from Kate Wright and Chloe Sims, to Elliott Wright's fiancee Sadie Stuart, flashed almost everything in daring low-cut and barely-there outfits.

Kate stunned in a plunging deep red gown, bending down in a cheeky pose in front of the cameras to show off her boobs.

The unforgiving number clung to every curve and looked sensational on the reality star.

Meanwhile Kate's co-star Chloe Sims upped her on the cleavage front in her own floor-length red dress, coming dangerously close to flashing everything as she posed in front of her fans.

Danielle Armstrong was close behind in an elegant black patterned dress, covering up marginally more than her co-stars.

But it was down to Elliott's fiancee to win the crown for riskiest outfit of the night, as she shamelessly showed off her knickers under a sheer-panelled black dress.

They joined Mark's wife Michelle Keegan, who walked the red carpet solo in an edgy suit, towering next to X Factor stars, TV presenters, musicians and more.

The actress showed off her sl;im figure in the tight-fitting cut-off trousers and matching jacket, adding sky-high stilettos.

Wearing her hair loose, she looked as stunning as ever with understated make-up and a VERY stand-out Wrigley's gum bag by Anya Hindmarch, selling for around £1,300.

Asked on the red carpet about her hubby Mark Wright, Michelle joked: "I see you more than Mark at the minute.”

She joined the stars of this year's X Factor, with Emily Middlemas and Saara Aalto leading the glam squad, alongside 5 After Midnight and Matt Terry.

Emily was all smiles despite her boyfriend Ryan Lawrie being voted out of the competition, and showed off her endless legs in an off-the-shoulder black dress.

The star wore her hair pinned to the side and added a huge choker to the ensemble.

Meanwhile, Saara co-ordinated perfectly in a similar black dress, with a longer skirt falling behind her legs.

Meanwhile, Katie Price ensured all eyes were on her, as she packed on the PDA with her hubby Kieran Hayler.

The former glamour model couldn’t keep her hands off her man as they cuddled, kissed and posed arm in arm in front of the cameras.

Wearing thigh-high black boots and a short matching dress, Katie, 38, looked years younger – and even showed off darker hair, tied back into an elegant ponytail.

Towering next to her other half, the star used the red carpet as her own personal catwalk.

Meanwhile, Kieran was all smiles as he kept his arms firmly round Katie throughout, wearing a vibrant blue suit for the bash.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun on the red carpet, Holly said of live TV mistakes: “Sometimes being on telly is like being in assembly as a kids. Sometimes something that shouldn’t be funny just is."

She had strong competition from Mel Sykes, who has opted for a smart black patterned dress with a crossed top, adding Kim Kardashian-style strappy heels.

The star looked super slim in the small gown, and wore her hair tied back as she pulled an elegant pose.

Meanwhile, Caroline Flack followed Michelle's lead in black trousers, showing off a hint of her cleavage with a low-cut front and showing off her loose wavy hair.

Jamelia was keen to steal the limelight in an electric blue floor-length dress, while Tom Jones looked in full red carpet mode himself in a navy blue suit.
