Feeling festive: Beyoncé dons a sexy red corseted gown as she performs on an ITV special this weekend


Now it's December, most of us have started to think about what to wear over the Christmas period, and have begun stocking up on sparkly new outfits for the festive parties.

And who better to use as fashion inspiration than the beautiful Beyoncé, who dons a sexy sparkly lace and red leather outfit to perform on an ITV special this weekend.

The 30-year-old singer, who is expecting her first child, looked stunning in the corseted gown, which featured a long leather train, as she belted out her hit track Best Thing I Never Had to a crowd of delighted fans.

Giving her audience the chance to sing the lyrics back to her, former Destiny's Child singer Beyoncé looked delighted as they gave as good as they got with the opportunity.

And it's not only Beyoncé's outfit that has a festive feel about it, as the set of the ITV show A Night With Beyoncé also embraces the Christmas spirit - with candles and Christmas trees galore.

Later in the show, Beyoncé tries out a somewhat different look as she ditches her killer heels and goes for the barefoot approach while performing another ballad.

Teaming her sheer blue trousers and blouse with bare feet, Beyoncé looked confident while perching on a stool performing hit after hit.

She later sits down on the floor after belting out the track's biggest top notes.

Beyoncé's relaxed appearance is in sharp contrast to her usual immaculately groomed look, but suited the mother-to-be.

The exclusive performance, recorded in front of an audience of Beyoncé's biggest fans shortly before the superstar announced her pregnancy in August, also sees the singer treat fans to a question and answer session in between songs.

Hosted by X Factor USA presenter Steve Jones, the hour and a quarter long special airs on Sunday night, and Acting Controller of Entertainment, ITV, Daniela Neumann, who commissioned the special, said it will be an unmissable show.

She said: 'Beyoncé is one of the biggest selling artists of today. She is a world-class performer who dazzles her audience with her energy and talent.

Daybreak-up! Christine Bleakley bids an early goodbye to the morning flop... but £283,000 payout should help heal the pain

By Holly Thomas


ITV's Daybreak has been a ratings disaster from day one, at first barely matching GMTV's audience, and finally flatlining at 700,000 viewers.

And in yet another embarrassing turn, presenters Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles will be dismissed a month early in a desperate bid to salvage any remaining hope for the programme.

Bailing out: Christine Bleakley is leaving ITV's Daybreak a month earlier with a payment of £283,000, seen here at the Women In Film And TV Awards


But it's not all bad news for Christine, 32, as she will receive a generous payout of £283,000 to help soften the blow of her departure.

The presenter is clearly pleased with the outcome, and showed no signs of regret as she arrived at the Sky Women In Film And Television event at London's South Bank today.

Natasha Kaplinsky and Eamonn Holmes have emerged as frontrunners to take up the vacant presenting roles.

Pastures new: Christine looked sleek in a tight black dress showing off her gym honed figure


Christine and Adrian were expected to continue on Daybreak until Christmas or the New Year, but they will instead bow out on Monday and take the rest of the month off.

'It was felt that Adrian and Christine were better off out of there now that everyone knows they are going,' said an ITV insider.

'There’s nothing to be gained by keeping them on the sofa.'

Fresh face: Natasha Kaplinsky is said to be replacing Christine alongside Eamonn Holmes


ITV boss Peter Fincham stressed that the pair had been 'superb' presenters when he announced their departure last week.

Christine will be given her £283,000 by way of divided payment.

She and Adrian were poached from the BBC's The One Show in a deal worth a reported £4 million to her and £6 million to him, but are leaving after only 14 months.

It will be seen as a huge embarrassment for all concerned after the pair left BBC1's One Show in the summer of last year in what was seen at the time to be a huge coup for ITV.

Embarrassing: Christine and Adrian Chiles were expected to continue on Daybreak until Christmas or the New Year, but they will instead bow out on Monday and take the rest of the month off


The pair had won plaudits for their on-screen chemistry on The One Show and it was hoped they would recreate the magic in their new roles.

But within weeks of the Daybreak launch it was barely able to match GMTV's audience, and drawing only half that of rival BBC Breakfast.

It averaged 800,000 viewers in the past three weeks.

Fincham said: 'Adrian and Christine are both superb presenters.

'They have worked tirelessly to help establish Daybreak on ITV1 and they leave the show at a point when ratings have recently seen their biggest year-on-year increase.

'Adrian has had a hugely positive reception as the host of ITV's live football coverage since he joined us for the 2010 World Cup and I'm pleased that he will be at the helm of the UK's biggest free-to-air football offering, and will continue to present his successful That Sunday Night Show.'

Christine has been announced as the new co-presenter of Dancing on Ice alongside Phillip Schofield.

Her earnings have been boosted as she has been able to charge up to £15,000 per appearance for motivational speaking at business conferences.

She is also releasing a fitness DVD, Christine Bleakley - The Workout which will be available on Boxing Day.

Katie Price and Peter Andre settle Harvey case, as she apologises and agrees to pay undisclosed compensation

By Nadia Mendoza


They live their life courting headlines, but Katie Price paid the price when she claimed Peter Andre did not love stepson Harvey as much as he said.

Today, the slander case was settled in the High Court as Price apologised for the 'hurt' her allegations caused.

She also agreed to pay undisclosed compensation and claims that he had an affair with his manager Claire Powell were withdrawn.

Case closed: Katie Price, pictured here with Peter Andre and Harvey in LA outside The Ivy in 2009, has apologised for the slander case against her ex-husband


Andre was claiming damages and aggravated damages on the basis his ex-wife knowingly lied when she made her comments in Heat magazine.

In the 2009 interview, the 33-year-old model alleged Andre, 38, did not see Harvey as often as he claimed, claiming it was only about twice a fortnight.

The accusations came after Price was quizzed about Andre's latest single Unconditional, said to be about his love for nine-year-old Harvey.

Peter, who is currently in his native Australia appearing on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is to put the money into a trust fund for Harvey.

Andre's solicitor Mike Brookes said his client launched proceedings as 'his relationship with his children and his reputation are important to him.'

He added: 'Ms Price accepts that the feelings for Harvey which Mr Andre expressed in the song were genuine and he was not being hypocritical.'

The Mysterious Girl singer also claimed damages for slander over comments made by Price on The Graham Norton Show in October 2009, in which she alleged he had an affair with his manager Clare Powell.

While the comments were not broadcast to the general public, they were overheard by the live audience, yet Mr Brookes said she now 'withdraws her claim unreservedly'.

Katie's solicitor Keith Ashby said she was happy to confirm 'that Mr Andre has been a good father to Harvey and has demonstrated his love for him on many occasions.'

Price, who also agreed to make a contribution to Andre's legal costs of the long running dispute estimated at £800,000, failed to appear at court for the hearing as she is in Dublin for a Lara's Boutique fashion launch event.

The couple who married in 2005 and divorced in October 2009 have two children of their own Junior, six, and three-year-old Princess; while Harvey is the son of former fling footballer Dwight Yorke.
