Love Island star Abi Moores was joined by her boyfriend Nathan Campbell, with the picture-perfect couple dressed in matching beige looks.
Vanessa's appearance at the event came as friends rallied round her and vowed to find her a new man after her ex Ben Ofoedu claimed he 'wasted 17 years' in their relationship.
The TV personality was set to marry singer Ben, 53, until reports of his infidelity were leaked to the press in 2023.
Ben moved on with aesthetics expert, Vanessa Brown - whom he affectionately calls 'Vanessa 2.0' and they married in a lavish £100,000 ceremony earlier this month,
And now pal Vanessa's pal Francine Lewis has revealed the presenter was feeling 'pretty blue' in the wake of his wedding and so she was vowed to find her a man.
The singer, who starred on Britain's Got Talent in 2013, told Daily Mail: 'Vanessa deserves a man that will treat her like a queen not a door mat.'
A close friend later told Daily Mail: 'Vanessa's been really strong - he [Ben] might be an ex but she still has a heart that got broken - he didn't hang about!'
They added: 'Vanessa's got her girls rallying around her in support.'

Vanessa met Ben in 2005, when she was at the height of her broadcasting fame and he was a little-known pop singer – best remembered for his stint in Phats & Small.
The couple quickly became a fixture on the celebrity circuit and within months were engaged, with Vanessa proudly introducing him to the public as her fiancé.
She frequently featured him in her media appearances, from red-carpet events to reality TV shows, reviving his public profile and transforming him into a household name.
But behind the scenes, cracks were beginning to show. Their relationship came to a dramatic end in 2023 after he admitted to cheating — a betrayal that left Vanessa heartbroken and publicly humiliated.
Reflecting on his relationship with the former This Morning agony aunt, he said: 'Never again will I do that. I wasted 17 years of my life.'
Ben added: 'I don't believe in long engagements any more. You don't want to get married if there's a question mark over your engagement.
'If you don't want to commit to someone, that's fine. But don't pretend you do and hold on to someone for a long period of time. Let them free, let them fly.'
After undergoing therapy in the wake of their split, the DJ – who refuses to mention Feltz by name 'ever again' – said the torrid experience gave him clarity.
'I knew what I was getting into going out with someone that talks about their sex life on TV. What did I expect? It was great media attention for her. I went into it with my eyes wide open thinking it wouldn't affect me, but it did.'
Meanwhile, Vanessa confessed that she still has hope of finding love again, despite admitting that it's a 'dating desert out there'.
While she had a secret short-lived romance last year, Vanessa has been single ever since, now insisting it is 'impossible and agonising' to find someone new.
Reflecting on Jennifer Aniston 's new relationship with hunky hypnotist Jim Curtis, the broadcaster admitted it had been a 'beacon of hope' to her that she would also find love again.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed last week that Jennifer, 56, spent the Fourth of July weekend with life coach Jim, 49, with snaps showing the couple packing on the PDA onboard a yacht.
Vanessa discussed the twice divorced actress' newfound happiness in her latest column for the Daily Express, where she lamented how tricky it was for women over the age of 45 to find a partner.
She wrote: 'It's so tough, impossible and agonising to find a decent bloke these days. The apps are hopeless. It's a dating desert out there.
'I loathe this lament but also can't deny that these days, finding a man to love and be loved by is a huge task once maturity has kicked in.

British Grammy winner reveals teenage drug battle left her with speech problems and a driving ban
Clean Bandit released their new single Believe last month. Now, Grace Chatto, 39, the band's cellist and vocalist, has opened up about the emotional story behind the track, revealing her teenage battle with drugs that left her with speech difficulties and a driving ban. In a recent TikTok post, she shared: 'I speak so slowly because I took too many drugs when I was a teenager.' She also detailed other struggles she faces today, adding: 'I can't get car insurance because I had a driving ban.' Despite these challenges, the musician, whose band has topped charts with hits like Rather Be, Rockabye, and Symphony, said their latest single is poignant because it reminds her to count her blessings every morning. Alongside the caption 'I believe in us,' referencing the track featuring South African singer Lloyiso, she wrote: 'But I believe in us. Won a Grammy, gratitude for all that I have, I am strong, I'm nice, I am honest.' Her candid post resonated with fans, racking up more than 180,000 likes. It comes after the chart-topping British group were the victims of a shocking robbery in Ibiza last year - with £35,000 worth of equipment and cash stolen. The band had flown out to the Spanish party Island to record the music video for their single Cry Baby with DJ David Guetta. However, the exciting work trip quickly turned into a disaster when they returned from dinner to discover that someone had 'crowbarred the window and taken the lenses and laptops and cash'. Opening up about the ordeal in an interview with The Sun, band member Grace explained that they were filming footage for the video with David in the studio, before crashing at a friend's house for the night. The other two members of the group, Jack and Luke Patterson, had flown back to London to edit the video - but when Grace headed back to their hotel to grab the lenses, she realised what had happened. But, despite being 'scared' to sleep at their hotel following the robbery, the musician was partially relieved. She added: 'The main thing was that the footage was safe, because that would have been irreplaceable.' The band had flown out to the Spanish party Island to record the music video for their single Cry Baby with DJ David Guetta (pictured in June 2024) Meanwhile, the group hoped to get the stolen £35,000 back on insurance. They are planning to make a comeback to the music scene and drop their first album in six years in 2025, after struggling to 'get their momentum back' following the Covid-19 pandemic. During their career, the group have scored ten top ten singles, with their first being Rather Be featuring Jess Glynne, 35. The song topped charts worldwide and won a Grammy, paving the way for further success with hits like Rockabye and Symphony, and establishing them as a standout act in the music scene. Clean Bandit is expected to release their new album, CB3, in 2025. While a specific date is not yet available, their recent single, Believe featuring Lloyiso, was released on July 4th, suggesting the album is likely to follow later in the year.

Romeo Beckham reveals new poignant tattoo as he appears to take another dig at Brooklyn amid bitter family feud
Romeo Beckham appeared to take another dig at his brother Brooklyn amid their ongoing family feud as he revealed his latest tattoo on Tuesday. The model, 22, has followed in his father's footsteps when it comes to is multiple inkings and his newest addition to his growing collection marks a poignant message. Taking to Instagram Romeo shared a snap of the new tattoo which reads 'C'est La Vie' in script font across the top of his shoulder. The iconic French phrase literally translates to 'that's life' or 'such is life' and is used to express acceptance or resignation. The inking comes amid the ongoing feud between the Beckhams and Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. Last month Romeo blocked the pair on Instagram after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo which excluded both Romeo and Cruz. Romeo Beckham has revealed his new poignant tattoo as he appeared to take another dig at Brooklyn amid their bitter family feud Romeo poured more fuel on the fire just hours later as he posted a picture of Justin Bieber 's new song Walking Away following his bombshell block. Not holding back with his feelings, Romeo commented 'Yup' - a particularly telling statement, given the family's explosive feud. Brooklyn and Romeo have been living a somewhat fractious relationship over the last few months following claims Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull was the reason behind their rift. Kim addressed the speculation on June 16 and insisted she has only ever had a friendship with the eldest Beckham son. Sharing a statement on her Instagram page, she said: 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. 'I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.' The inking comes amid the ongoing feud between the Beckhams and Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz The iconic French phrase literally translates to 'that's life' or 'such is life' and is used to express acceptance or resignation Last month Romeo blocked the pair on Instagram after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo which excluded both Romeo and Cruz Kim had been at the centre of the row after Nicola claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers. Which she had now denied. Meanwhile Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows earlier this week, three years after tying the knot. The pair proved they are stronger than ever on Saturday as they reaffirmed the promises they made to each other back in 2022. A source close to the couple confirmed the news to Daily Mail, stating: 'This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.' Brooklyn and Nicola have been together since October 2019, and announced their engagement in July 2020. They then tied the knot in a lavish wedding on April 9, 2022, at Nicola's family estate in Florida. Days after blocking Brooklyn on Instagram, Romeo showed off his close bond with sister Harper, 14, and younger brother Cruz, 20, in snaps The model also posted a picture of Justin Bieber's new song Walking Away following his bombshell move, alongside the caption 'Yup' Back in June, Brooklyn reflected on the day he proposed as he shared a gushing message to his wife on Instagram. Alongside a snap of himself kissing her cheek, he penned: 'It's been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much ❤️.' David and Victoria failed to wished their son and his wife a happy third wedding anniversary in April - or even 'liked' or commented on the happy couple's post about their milestone. In fact, none of the Beckham family publicly congratulated them, including Romeo and Cruz who Brooklyn is said to have fallen out with. David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace's 50th birthday celebrations last month. He also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts. This is in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared recently for his father-in-law and wrote on a picture of himself and Nicola with the billionaire: 'Happy birthday Nelson x We love you.'
