Cheryl enjoys date night with husband at Ant and Dec's 40th birthday party

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and her husband Jean-Bernard were among the starry guests at Ant and Dec’s joint 40th bash in London.

The Geordie duo threw a huge party to celebrate their milestone before they fly off to Australia to start filming the new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! next month.

Cheryl and her husband are rarely seen in public together, but they looked a picture as they entered Kensington Roof Gardens.

JB kept a protective arm around his wife – and chivalrously carried the presents – as she flashed her legs in a thigh-high split dress.

Also at the party were Britain’s Got Talent judges Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.

Alesha used Twitter to give fans a sneak peek of her outfit before she arrived.

A cohort of ITV morning TV stars turned up to celebrate, including This Morning’s Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Eamonn Holmes and wife Ruth Langsford, and newly announced Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan.

Vernon Kay was without wife Tess Daly, but there were plenty of friends to keep him company, including Jimmy Carr, Keith Lemon creator Leigh Francis and Paddy McGuinness.

Fearne Cotton stunned in a lacy mini-dress just one month after giving birth to daughter Honey as she arrived with husband Jesse Wood.

She later shared a snap of her and pal Davina McCall to celebrate the ex-Big Brother host’s own 48th birthday.

Eighties hitmakers Black Lace turned up to party, apparently performing a special set for their fellow guests featuring classics Agadoo, Superman and Do The Conga.

The night obviously ended well as Ant McPartlin’s wife Lisa Armstrong ditched her heels as she left the venue with her husband of nine years, while Declan Donnelly was led out by the hand by wife Ali Astall, who he married in August.

Dec hit the milestone on September 25, but Ant will have to wait until November 18 to turn the big 4-0.

The two birthday boys looked a little different from the throwback snap that pal Piers posted.
