She was left with little to smile about, following her injury-marred performance on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, which led to her being voted off the show.

But Laura Whitmore managed to raise more than a grin as she arrived to host the 2016 MTV EMA Awards in Rotterdam on Sunday night.

The 31-year-old presenter ensured she all eyes were on her as she sashayed down the red carpet, thanks to a leg-flashing layered mini dress.

Strictly emotional: With a smile on her face, the Irish model and presenter looked to have bounced back from her poor performance on Strictly the night before

Luckily, the starlet had no need to be worried, as her passionate performance earned her a respectable 32 points from the judges.

Attempting to console her, Len Goodman exclaimed: 'She is a star,' but added: 'I'd have liked [to see] a little more Laura than Giovanni!'

He also disagreed with the pace in music as he explained: 'You sacrificed technique to give us impact.'
