Earlier on the red carpet, Love Island favourite Maya paid homage to ­Hurley’s famous Versace safety pin dress — 30 years after Liz first wore it.

Leomie Anderson wowed in a cut-up two-piece outfit while singer Raye wore a stunning orange dress.

Busta Rhymes, Shawn Mendes and Pet Shop Boys were among performers.

Meanwhile, celebrating 30 years since their debut album Sixteen Stone, veteran rockers Bush performed a pre-show gig on Saturday and spoke exclusively to The Sun to announce a new album.

Frontman Gavin Rossdale, 59, who divorced from singer Gwen Stefani in 2016, said: “We have a new record, so we’re finishing and mixing that up.

“It’s called I Beat Loneliness, and is coming out next year.
