22-time host of the annual Pride Of Britain Awards opened the 2020 ceremony on Sunday evening with a grand entrance, a glam look and a political dig.

The presenter, 54, kicked off proceedings by flying across London‘s skyline at sunset, looking sensational in a glam ensemble, her blonde locks fluttering in the breeze.

Touching down at London’s Royal Hospital Chelsea, Carol stunned in a sparkling blue gown as she introduced the awards – this year held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Carol was sure to start things off with a tongue-in-cheek opening speech, referencing the events of the past seven months.

‘Whether you’ve been working from home, teaching your grandma how to Zoom, or taking a day trip to Barnard Castle…’ Carol said – the latter a jibe at Boris Johnson’s Chief Adviser Dominic Cummings’ infamous outing in April, which saw him flout lockdown rules.
