Tina couldn't wipe the smile from her face as she posed up a storm at the event in her eye-catching dazzling dress which fell at midi-length level. 

She teamed the coat with the statement outerwear and embellished black and gold shoes. 

Tina opted for a glamorous slick of make-up, which consisted of a red slick of lipstick and lashings of mascara on her eyes.

Her sighting come after claims she is facing a police investigation and possibly prison after reportedly identifying child killer Jon Venables online.

Police are reported to be 'ready to investigate' posts made by the star after she was accused of breaking a court injunction.

The court order bans photos of Venables or Robert Thompson from being published by anyone in the world.

The actress reportedly told the Daily Star Sunday: 'I didn't have a clue it was illegal. What are you going to do... prosecute me for posting a picture?

'I didn't realise. I am not au fait with the law.' 

Malone has previously said she is friends with murdered two-year-old James Bulger's mother, Denise Fergus.

She was also an ambassador for The James Bulger Memorial Trust.

Both Venables and Thompson's new identities are secret and their anonymity is funded by the taxpayer.
