A string of celebrities were happy to don ridiculous costumes in celebration of a landmark birthday of Leigh Francis - more commonly known as TV star Keith Lemon.

This Morning host and former Celebrity Juice captain Holly Willoughby and Spice Girl Emma Bunton were among the stars hitting the town to mark Leigh’s 50th birthday.

The celebs descended on White City in West London - and donned comical fancy dress - as they prepared to celebrate into the night.

There appeared to be a general film theme to the night as guests arrived dressed as classic characters - while Leigh himself was dressed as a character from the sci-fi classic, Tron.

Pop sensation Emma Bunton, 47, channelled her inner Daryl Hannah wearing little more than a white shirt as she dressed as Madison form the classic rom-com Splash.

She was joined by her husband, 44-year-old singer Jade Jones of the band Damaged, who was also dressed in fancy dress for the big night.
