Lottie Tomlinson stepped out for the Pride Of Britain Awards with her fiancé Lewis Burton on Monday night at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

The blonde beauty, 26, is the sister of One Direction star Louis – who last week sadly lost his bandmate Liam Payne after he fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

After a tough week for her family pregnant Lottie showcased her growing baby bump in all-black ahead of welcoming her second child.

Just before her red carpet appearance Lottie sweetly paid tribute to Liam writing on her Instagram Story: ‘Rest in peace Liam, you were loved by so many and will be so greatly missed. Sending so much love to everyone x.’

She then shared a sweet snap of her brother Louis and Liam smiling together at an event.

She looked fantastic in a figure-hugging black dress that had a high-neck and long sleeve design.

Lottie accessorised with statement gold earrings and wore her long blonde tresses in loose waves over her shoulders while opting for a glamorous makeup look. 

By her side Lewis was there supporting her and looked smart in a dark blue suit and white shirt. 

The pair looked slightly downcast after what would have been a difficult week following Liam’s death. 

Liam tragically fell to his death from a third-floor balcony in Argentine capital Buenos Aires on Wednesday, aged just 31. 

One Direction, who became Britain’s biggest pop group since The Beatles, was made up of Liam, Harry Styles, 30, Niall Horan, 31, Zayn Malik, 31, and Louis, 32. 

Following Liam’s tragic death, Louis shared a heartbreaking tribute to his bandmate.

In a statement shared to Instagram, Louis said he was ‘beyond devastated’ by his friend’s death, and said that he will ‘always be an uncle’ for the late singer’s eight-year-old son Bear.

‘I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.

‘I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for.

‘Liam was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band.

‘And for the record, Liam was in my opinion the most vital part of One Direction. His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on. Thank you for shaping us Liam.

‘A message to you Liam if you’re listening: I feel beyond lucky to have had you in my life but I’m really struggling with the idea of saying goodbye. 

‘I’m so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours, reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought I’d have with you for life. 

‘I would have loved to share the stage with you again but it wasn’t to be.

‘I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was.

‘I wish I got chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you. Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate. Sleep well X.’

Louis shared the moving post along with a snap of himself and Liam performing together in 2015, before One Direction announced their hiatus the following year.

The annual Pride Of Britain Awards is returning for its 25th year, with Ashley Banjo and Carol Vorderman set to return as co-hosts.

Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks are on hand to host the red carpet, while GK Barry will be presenting online content at her very own bar during the event.

Taking place since 1999, the ceremony honours the achievements of truly remarkable people from across the UK and all walks of life – nominated by members of the public.

After a shortlist has been produced from the thousands of entries, winners are chosen by the Pride of Britain judging panel.

Ahead of the ceremony, The King and the Prime Minister Keir Starmer led tributes to the nation’s unsung heroes.

The King called them ‘the very best’ of us, while Sir Keir said, ‘They embody everything that is great about Britain’.

King Charles’ words were included in a letter to King’s Trust Young Achiever winner Molly Leonard, whose grandmother shed tears of pride as she read it to her.

In addition to praising Molly, he wrote: ‘On this 25th anniversary of the Pride of Britain Awards, I send my warmest admiration to all of this year’s winners. You each represent the very best in our society.’

The Prime Minister told the winners: ‘Britain is proud of you’.

‘For a quarter of a century, the Pride of Britain awards have celebrated the people who embody everything that is great about Britain. These are people from all walks of life, but they all have one thing in common. They’re heroes.

‘They may not be the cape-wearing superheroes we normally think of – in fact, they look just like the rest of us. But they do have something that makes them very special indeed. Bravery, determination, generosity, empathy and huge spirit.

‘They have the power to touch our hearts, to make us hopeful, to make us proud. They’re a testament to the incredible things people can achieve even in the face of hardship.’
