David Dickinson, 80, puts on a very animated display as he leaves the National Reality TV Awards after being honoured with the Outstanding Contribution Award

David Dickenson put on a very animated display as he left the National Reality TV Awards in London on Thursday evening.

David cut a dapper figure in a white tuxedo jacket which he layered over crisp shirt and dark trousers.

Slipping his feet into loafers the antiques expert completed the look with a black dickie bow and striking pocket square. 

The television personality wore his silver locks swept from his face as he  accessorised with trademark gold jewellery. 

David posed with his awards before being helped into a car following the star-studded event.

Also at the event was Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova, 32, who stunned in a Cinderella blue gown as she and her co-star beau Kai Widdrington, 26, held hands throughout the night.

The couple appeared to be more loved up than ever as they stepped out in style, remaining close to each other all evening before being driven home with an award in hand.

Nadiya was a vision in the light blue chiffon gown, featuring an elegant trail and embellished detailing over its single shoulder.

The dress also boasted a belt element round the waist, drawing in her petite frame, and the professional dancer accessorized with a salmon clutch.

Nadiya - who took home a much sought after award on the night - styled her blonde tresses into a soft up-do.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend Kai cut a dapper figure in a black suit while completing the look with a white shirt and grey tie.

During the evening, Nadiya revealed to MailOnline how she plans to rescue her family members from war-torn Ukraine as soon as she gets the opportunity. 

After months of tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine by land, air and sea on February 24.  

'I think we’re all affected by it,' she said. 'I still have my father there and my grandparents, a lot of friends, it’s a very tough subject to talk about. It’s so difficult.'

'The war has been going on since 2014 when my family was involved all the time so it’s been very long for me.'

She added: I’m in touch with them and I help as much as I can. I couldn’t get my father and my grandmother anywhere close to me but they’re there and they’re safe at the moment so as soon as I will get the chance to get them I’ll do that.
