With her smooth brow and unlined eyes, former Friends actress Courteney Cox barely looks a day older than when she starred as Monica Geller in the sitcom two decades ago.

The 51-year-old actress sported dark eye make-up, with her raven locks perfectly straightened and a casually unbuttoned white shirt for the Ivor Novello awards ceremony at Grosvenor House last night.

Miss Cox was attending the music awards to support her rumoured fiancé Snow Patrol musician Johnny McDaid, 39, who was nominated for his work on Ed Sheeran’s single ‘Bloodstream’.

Miss Cox has admitted to using Botox in the past.

She told Closer magazine last year: ‘It’s no secret I’ve had some Botox in the past, but I won’t go under the knife.

‘Johnny isn’t into that whole Hollywood look anyway, so I don’t feel pressure to keep looking like a 20-year-old for him.’

Miss Cox and McDaid arrived at Heathrow on Tuesday with Miss Cox sporting a ring on her engagement finger sparking rumours their marriage is set to go ahead, despite briefly splitting at the end of last year. 

The couple, who met in 2013 following Miss Cox’s divorce from director David Arquette, had been engaged for 18 months when they broke up.

Attending the BMI Pop Awards last week the Snow Patrol guitarist said: ‘Just look at us. I love her. I’ve always loved her.’

Mr McDaid refused to confirm he has set a wedding date but his band mate Gary Lightbody suggesting his priority will be planning a stag do.

‘It will probably be as funny as The Hangover,’ he said, adding: ‘I want to be his husband.'

Mr McDaid was however happy to hint at a collaboration with One Direction’s Harry Styles, saying: ‘We’ve been working with Harry for a long time. He’s a friend.’
