Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu cut a stylish figure as she joined Jessica Wright at the Cooking With The Stars Series Five world premiere at Everyman Borough Yards in London on Wednesday.
The former Love Island star, 30, looked sensational in a grey tailored jumpsuit featuring a draped cowl neckline, sleeveless design, and tapered trousers that showcased her enviable figure.
She elevated her frame with a pair of black pointed heels and accessorised with a croc-embossed burgundy leather handbag.
Meanwhile, former TOWIE star Jessica Wright, 39, looked effortlessly chic in a semi-sheer white blouse and a black-and-white polkadot mini skirt.
Flaunting her toned pins, Jessica also added height with a pair of classic black court heels and carried a £2,475 Saint Laurent Sac de Jour handbag.
The glamorous duo were joined by a host of famous faces, including Hugh Dennis, Natalie Cassidy, Jordan North, Michael Caines, Tony Singh, Elliott Grover, and Jack Stein.
While Rosemary Shrager, Poppy O'Toole, Kelly Hoppen, John Gardiner, and Shaun Wright Phillips also attended.
Comedian Hugh, 63, kept things smart-casual in a grey button-up shirt and black jeans.
Celebrity chef Elliott looked dapper in a grey checked blazer, blue shirt and navy trousers.
While fellow chef Michael Caines opted for a stone blazer, beige trousers and tan brogues.
Interior design guru Kelly, 65, turned heads in a chic navy silk dress on the red carpet.
While food influencer Poppy looked radiant in a green gingham mini dress.
Football legend Shaun Wright, 43, opted for a relaxed look in a grey polo and black trousers.
Meanwhile, John paired a cream shirt with khaki trousers for the occasion.
The beauty appeared in great spirits as she posed up a storm on the red carpet ahead of the premiere
EastEnders star Natalie, 42, looked elegant in a black co-ord as she posed for the cameras alongside Hugh.
While radio host Jordan, 35, stood out in a blue-and-white crochet embroidered shirt layered over a white vest.
Hosted by Emma Willis and Tom Allen, Cooking With The Stars sees celebrities mentored by top chefs as they battle it out in a series of cooking challenges.
Each week, the celebrities go head-to-head to cook a dish to restaurant standards, with the weakest performers facing a cook-off without guidance from their mentors.
In a dramatic twist, the mentors then judge the dishes in a blind tasting - meaning they could unknowingly send their own mentee home.

British Airways: ‘Yes, you can travel a few hours earlier – for an extra £900'

The musicians struck up on Friday afternoon in the middle of the airside departures level at Heathrow Terminal 5. The guitar and double bass combo were called The Cash Cows – a name which will raise a hollow laugh from airline bosses who say the French, Qatari, Saudi and Australian owners of the UK's biggest airport enjoy a licence to print money. The first song, as I recall, was Brown Eyed Girl. Van Morrison 's classic contains the line 'In the misty morning fog'. But outside the skies were clear and air-traffic controllers were coping with the busiest day of the year so far. Entertaining though the band was, I wished I was halfway to Istanbul. And, as I discovered later, someone else would have been glad if I had been airborne. The back story: I had paid £266 for the early evening British Airways flight to Turkey's largest city. There was an afternoon flight, but it was priced at over £400. And besides, work commitments meant I probably wouldn't make it to the airport on time. For once, the Tube and Elizabeth line journey from central London to Heathrow proved smooth and swift. As a result I turned up ridiculously early for my booked flight – and just in time for the earlier departure to Istanbul. As (almost) always, I had only cabin baggage and could easily speed through security. I found a helpful BA agent and asked if there might be any space aboard the afternoon flight. Yes, he said, there are two seats left. For a moment I pictured myself enjoying a drink beside the Bosphorus on Friday evening, rather than touching down after midnight as my ticket prescribed. 'But unfortunately they're not in your class of travel. I have no interest in BA's short-haul business class for a three-hour flight. From what I can seek, economy class on Turkish Airlines is more than a match. Yet I bet there were economy passengers on that flight with better British Airways Club status than me (not a high bar) who would have been delighted with a free upgrade. It might have cost BA a few pounds in complimentary drinks, but the lucky passenger would be more likely to choose British Airways in future. Such an upward move would create a space in economy . For the pleasure of an evening in Istanbul I would gladly have paid, say, £60. That would constitute free money for BA. But the only option I was offered: upgrading to Club Europe on payment of over £900. I thanked the agent and wandered off, puzzled about the British Airways policy. I can see that allowing passengers to board earlier flights for little or no extra cost could impact revenue. People (including me) would routinely book later, cheaper flights and then try to switch at the airport. Charging a £60 fee would offset any losses, with a crucial added benefit: freeing up space for a flight several hours later. With 50 minutes remaining before the afternoon Istanbul flight was due to depart there was no possibility of BA selling either of the two empty seats to a new customer. But had I been moved earlier, there was some chance of selling a ticket to someone desperate to travel at short notice for many hundreds of pounds. One more reason for allowing passengers to switch is summed up for me by a former British Airways manager of overseas bases. 'If someone wanted to travel earlier I would always let them,' he told me. 'That stopped them being a potential problem later.' As you may have noticed, stuff frequently goes wrong with flying: from technical problems to crew sickness. (Earlier this year I had two flights in a row cancelled – one from each of these causes.) Moving people to earlier flights that are poised to depart reduces the airline's exposure to extra costs. British Airways might riposte: 'How the heck are we supposed to micromanage all this as the minutes tick away to departure?' Well, US airlines seem able to handle such requests – either free or for the odd $75 (£56), as I was charged by Delta at Atlanta last time I arrived in time for an earlier departure. And I know for a fact that one passenger would have been delighted if I had already been in Istanbul at the time the later flight was taking off. He was the gentleman travelling on a staff ticket. With no space remaining, he was assigned a 'jump seat' – provided mainly for cabin crew. Unfortunately, on the Airbus A321 his assigned place was the jump seat built into the door of one of the rear toilets. Had BA made me a reasonable offer to travel on the earlier flight, he would have had my seat. As it was, he had to spend most of the flight standing up. But at least he got on board.

Games Workshop's annual profit soars on flagship Warhammer game sales

July 29 (Reuters) - British miniature wargames maker Games Workshop on Tuesday (GAW.L), opens new tab posted a nearly 30% jump in annual pre-tax profit, thanks to robust sales of its flagship Warhammer 40,000 game. The company, known for its premium, in-house produced fantasy miniatures, has built a cult-like following for Warhammer, which has expanded into video games, books and a film and TV deal with Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab that was finalised last December. The flagship science-fantasy universe will be brought to screens via a live-action series from Amazon Studios. Henry Cavill, the British actor who played Superman and is a fan of Warhammer, has said he will be involved in the project. Games Workshop's Space Marine 2 video game, released last September, has also been a commercial success with more than 7 million copies sold. Games Workshop reported pre-tax profit of 262.8 million pounds ($350.79 million) for the year ended June 1, up from 203 million pounds the year before. Shares of the company were up 4.1% at 15,880 pence by 0816 GMT. "We have been pretty solid during the year managing our cash costs and investments," the company said in a statement. "The exception was the news about tariffs and the cute looking pipistrelle bat that is delaying our work on our new temporary car park," it added. The Nottingham-based games designer forecast a tariff impact of about 12 million pounds on its pre-tax profit in the current fiscal year and a 2% impact on gross margin in the following year. However, Games Workshop said it was "business as usual" for the firm, which already has a U.S. corporate entity and is investing in its Memphis base. Peel Hunt analysts expect the company's strong performance to continue, despite its vulnerability to tariffs, a stronger pound and a tough comparative period due to the exceptional success of Space Marine 2 last year. ($1 = 0.7492 pounds)
