Katherine and Ryan were no doubt enjoying a night in adult company after welcoming their daughter Orla in 2014. 

Speaking about motherhood, the Mr Selfridge star revealed that having a child had a profound effect on her emotions, telling the Daily Mail's You magazine: 'I get weepy even watching the news. 

'I agree with my mother that having children removes a layer of skin that you never grow back.' 

Treat from the East-ender: Turning heads at the event was actress Preeya Kalidas who showed off her phenomenal figure in a floor length black gown that was adorned in lace

Back to black: Showing off her tiny waist with sheer panels, the gown also featured a plunging neckline which flashed her ample cleavage. Injecting some colour into her ensemble, she layered up in a cream jacket

She added: ‘Orla’s full of energy – we have to take her out at least twice a day to burn it off. 

‘Becoming a mother has turned my world upside down, but in a really good way – it’s the best.’

But there was no better place to take a break from caring for the baby than the star-studded Aladdin premiere where Katherine and Ryan rubbed shoulders with a host of celebrities. 

Lacy lady! Jenni Falconer dazzled in a lemon lace dress that showed off her tanned and toned legs as she joined her husband James Midgley on the purple carpet 

Two of a kind: Christopher Biggins made a bold style statement, donning a black jacket with diamante embellishment across the cuffs and lapels as he cosied up to Neil Sinclair who looked dapper in blue 

Also turning heads at the event was Preeya Kalidas who showed off her phenomenal figure in a floor length black gown that was adorned in lace. 

Showing off her tiny waist with sheer panels, the gown also featured a plunging neckline which flashed her ample cleavage. 

Injecting some colour into her ensemble, she layered up in a cream cropped jacket with floral embroidery whilst a small black clutch finished off the look. 

Dapper dudes: Luke Evans looked effortlessly stylish in a blue shirt and grey jacket that he teamed with slimline navy chinos whilst Rufus Hound stood out from the crowds in a purple velvet jacket

Leaf it out: Cynthia Erivo turned heads in an eye-catching metallic gown with floral embellishment 

Suited and booted: Andrew Scott opted for a muted blazer and grey trousers whilst Ricky Wilson looked dapper in navy 

Glamorous: Lucy St Louis oozed elegance in a black and purple gown that skimmed the floor as she walked

Jade Ewen is Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin: "I feel like a different person to five years ago"

"I just wanted to sing... and I very much went with what everyone else told me I should be

Jade Ewen will take to the West End stage for Disney's Aladdin later this month - and it sounds like she was always destined to play Princess Jasmine.

Ewen told Digital Spy that Disney's animated films have "always been a massive part of the reason" why she performs. 

"It was sort of my introduction to musical theatre," she explained. "My mum would always buy me and my sister the VHS - every year we'd get a new Disney film.

"My very first movie that I learnt the songs to was The Little Mermaid - but my favourite was Aladdin, because Jasmine was the first Princess I saw and thought, 'Oh my gosh, she looks like me!'

"But I never ever dreamed that I would be playing her - and I remember when I heard about the audition for it, I was too scared to allow myself to get excited about the possibility... because it's so, so tough.

"Just to book a leading lady role… it's not an easy thing to do. So when they told me I'd got it, I screamed. I screamed and screamed and I couldn't believe it. And then I had to keep it a secret… I couldn't tell anyone!"

The 28-year-old first came into the public eye as a Eurovision hopeful - finishing fifth in 2009 - and was a member of Sugababes from 2009 to 2011. But Jade told DS that she now feels like "a different person" to the one who found fame in a girl group.

"I just wanted to sing but I didn't really have a sense of self and I very much went with what everyone else told me I should be doing," she said.

"You need to feel happy and fulfilled and you need to sleep well every night. Since being back on stage, it's really made me appreciate that this is what I was supposed to do.

"The fame stuff should always be a byproduct. But when that - and all the propaganda and the gossipy stuff - is the focus, and the performance thing is secondary? It kind of feels, to me, pointless. I don't get enjoyment out of that.

"I feel really happy doing press now, because I'm doing something that I'm really excited about. I'm happy to sit and do interviews, and I'm relaxed. You feel smiley and proud and positive. It's a really nice feeling."

She's since won rave reviews for her musical theatre work - including the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production of Porgy and Bess, and In The Heights on the West End.

But Jade - who stars opposite Dean John-Wilson in Aladdin - is reluctant to ever rule out a pop music comeback.

"If music comes back up in the future, I'm going to do it and I'm going to commit to it 100%. I will never say I'm not going to do that again, because I've learned quite quickly that nothing ever goes to plan!"

See Jade Ewen in Aladdin at the Prince Edward Theatre, London, with previews from Friday, May 27.
