TV presenter Helen, 40, was the epitome of glamour last night as she was dressed to impress in a satin black dress. The strapless number featured a plunging neckline and fitted bodice which was pleated from the hips down. 

She wore her hair up in a neat bun for the occasion, wearing her fringe curled to the side. 

For makeup, Helen opted for a smokey eye which she complemented with classic red lipstick. 

She paired her outfit with a sparkly silver clutch bag and matching strappy shoes which showed off her elegant red pedicure.

Helen kept her jewellery to a minimum, wearing a gold bracelet and a dainty ring on each hand.

Her appearance at the Attitude Awards last night came on the eve of another big career milestone for Helen. 

Last night the Countryfile presenter was no doubt also celebrating the publication of her new book, In My Stride, which was released today. 

Sharing details of the book on Instagram, Helen said: “It’s a book about making life one long series of adventures, whatever comes our way.” 

She posted a behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot for the book cover, and in it she added that her book is all about the lessons she's learned in her life. 

The official synopsis from book retailer Waterstones explains the book in further detail. It reads: “In My Stride explores the lessons Helen has learned through life and adventure, sharing how getting out in nature can help us heal, grow, and find the resilience to move through challenging times in our lives. 

“It tells stories of finding confidence, authenticity, courage, resilience, acceptance, community, and freedom against the backdrop of life’s peaks and troughs and through the power of the natural world. 

“Helen shows us how putting one foot in front of the other - whether that’s on the Strictly dance floor or in the great outdoors - can help us to journey back to ourselves.”

Helen has been fortunate to have plenty of adventures throughout her career, most recently taking a 268-mile long road trip with her long-time friend and fellow TV presenter Dan Walker. 

The pair documented their adventure in the Channel 5 travel series Dan and Helen’s Pennine Adventure which saw them traverse beautiful countryside and tackle some of their biggest fears.
