Cheryl Fernandez-Versini looks sensational in form-fitting gown with racy thigh-high split as she arrives with husband Jean-Bernard to Ant and Dec's joint 40th party

Despite being married for more than a year, they're rarely seen in public together.

But Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and her husband Jean-Bernard proved that their relationship is still as strong as ever as they made a joint appearance at Ant and Dec's joint 40th birthday party in London on Thursday night.

The X Factor judge, 32, and her French husband were seen arriving at the swanky Kensington bash together, looking like they're still very much in the blissful honeymoon period.

At one point, Jean-Bernard was seen holding a protective hand on the arch of his wife's back, before assisting with her dress up the stairs.

And it looks like he could barely keep his eyes off her, which is no surprise as she looked absolutely sensational.

The Newcastle-born star flaunted her trim physique in a cream, form-fitting gown, which boasted a racy, thigh-high split.

The former Girls Aloud star added some height to her petite frame with a pair of strappy gold stilettos, which could be seen beneath the glitzy dress.

Her brunette locks were teased into a chic centre-parting and tousled into natural, glossy waves, framing her pretty facial features.

Her make-up seemed a little more subdued than usual, featuring subtle smokey eyes, defined brows, contoured cheekbones and a touch of nude gloss.

Jean-Bernard looked equally stylish in a blue, two-piece suit, worn with a baby blue shirt beneath - loosely unbuttoned to reveal a glimpse of his chest hair.

She told the MailOnline: 'It's a little stupid to say it should be illegal. Because where does it end? When you're in the public eye, you have to take the good with the bad. 

'Like it or not, she wouldn't be on the panel if it wasn't for the papers. You can't complain. I think she's gorgeous anyway.'
