EastEnders’ Kellie Bright hits back at critics of her NTAs red carpet look

She isn't bothered about what people think...

EastEnders actress Kellie Bright has joked that she will probably end up on the ‘Worst Dressed’ list after tonight’s National Television Awards – but she doesn’t care!

The 42-year-old actress, who plays Linda Carter on Albert Square, insisted that no matter what the critics say she loves her outfit for tonight’s event.

She posted a picture ahead of the glitzy show and captioned it: “NTA’s here I come!!!! Can’t wait to see how many “worst dressed lists” I am on tomorrow. Bring it on!!!! And for the record, I ❤️❤️ my outfit xxx.”

She was glammed-up in the snap but she teased fans by keeping her clothing out of shot, but a hint of her garment was visible as a fold of dark green, silky material could be seen around her neck.

At last year’s awards the soap star broke the ball gown trend and wore a smart, pink suit on the red carpet.

Fans rushed to tell Kellie that she will look stunning at tonight’s bash, which is being held at London’s O2 Arena.

One replied to her sassy tweet with: “You look beautiful! 😍 If it’s getting people talking, it must be doing the right thing 😉 as long as you’re happy and confident, nothing else matters 💫 have a lovely evening 💛.”

Another added: “You look amazing Kellie!! You don’t belong on any of the worst dressed lists❤️❤️.”

A third told the actress: “You look insane omg!!!! can’t wait to see your outfit ❣️❣️.”
