Holly Willoughby was spotted putting on a loving display with her husband Dan Baldwin in the audience at the National Television Awards on Wednesday.
The couple, who have been married since 2007, made a rare joint appearance at the awards ceremony as the former This Morning host made her red carpet return.
Holly, 43, bowed out of the spotlight last year following a kidnap and murder threat which saw her quit her job on the ITV daytime show.
While she returned to the public eye in the New Year for her role on Dancing On Ice, she has largely kept a low profile since the ordeal.
Holly’s appearance marked the first time she has attended red carpet event, where she was supported by her producer husband.

Holly, who looked incredible in a £30,000 black sparkly dress, sat side by side with Dan, 49, as they watched the ceremony among a star-studded audience.
The TV presenter rested a comforting hand on her husband’s leg, while also holding onto his hand during the prize giving.
Earlier in the evening, Holly joined her This Morning successors Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on the red carpet at the 02 Arena.
The presenter left the ITV morning show last October before her replacements Cat and Ben were finally whisked in in March.
Holly wowed in a glitzy strapless silver and black dress from luxury couture brand Kolchagov Barba which featured a high leg slit.
During the evening, Holly proved she is back in the This Morning fold as she posed alongside some of her former co-stars.
The TV presenter, who co-led This Morning for 14 years, beamed as she posed for a photo alongside This Morning regulars Alison Hammond and Rochelle Humes.
Rochelle wrapped her arms around Holly, alongside Davina McCall, while fellow This Morning stars Dermot O’Leary and Ashley James were also present in the snap.

While Ant and Dec continued their record-breaking winning streak, it was Mr Bates Vs The Post Office who were the big champions of the night, with three prizes.
Toby Jones was awarded the prize for Serial Drama Performance for his critically-acclaimed performance in the series.
In his speech, the actor offered his congratulations to the real-life Post Office campaigner Sir Alan Bates, after he tied the knot with his longtime partner Susanne on Richard Branson’s private island at the weekend.

He added: ‘This is an extraordinary project, brilliantly commissioned, directed with flare, and the best actors I could possibly hope to work with. I’m really honoured.’
Mr Bates vs The Post Office drew renewed public attention to the subpostmasters who were wrongly prosecuted during the Horizon IT scandal, and this was also recognised with the ceremony’s Impact Award later in the evening.
Despite a year plagued with scandals and controversy, Strictly Come Dancing scooped the prize for Talent Show at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night.
Amid fears for the show’s future over accusations of abuse aimed at professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, the BBC show beat out Britain’s Got Talent, The Great British Bake Off, Masterchef and The Voice to take one of the night’s big prizes.
The NTAs are voted for by the public, with the win for Strictly a clear sign that viewers are still rooting for the show as it prepares to return for its 20th series on Saturday night.

It came after a challenging year for the show, which saw Holly Willoughby depart in October, before being replaced by Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
