Chelsee Healey put on a very daring display as she stepped out at the British Soap Awards 2023 in Manchester on Saturday.
The Hollyoaks star, 34, showed off her incredible figure in a black lace gown with a corset-style bodice and a sheer skirt with a draping train.
She completed her look with a pair of matching lace elbow-length gloves as she posed up a storm at The Lowry in Salford.
Chelsee, who plays Goldie McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, accessorised with chunky gold earrings and swept her dark locks into a high-bun.
She bolstered her striking features with a high-glamour make-up palette, including lashings of mascara and a slick of pink lipstick.

This year’s British Soap Awards was hosted by Jane McDonald, who was drafted in as a last minute replacement for long-time host Phillip Schofield.
Operatic singer and cruise ship favourite Jane, 60, was revealed as Phillip’s replacement on Thursday after he quit ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to an affair with a young male This Morning colleague.
He confessed to having the ‘unwise but not illegal’ relationship with a man during his marriage to Stephanie Lowe, and previously denied the affair when asked about it by his agent.
The presenter, 61, confirmed in a statement last week that he has stepped down from all his ITV jobs, including the ceremony.
And amid news Jane was taking the helm, fans hailed the star as the ‘perfect choice’ to front the ceremony, which took place at The Lowry in Salford, Manchester.
Ahead of hosting the awards, Jane said: ‘Oh my god…..everyone knows how much I LOVE my soaps, this year I’ve been honoured to be mentioned in Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale, so this is just a dream come true.
‘I can’t wait to see all our wonderful soap nominees and celebrate all their hard work with them – roll on the awards, I can’t wait!’

The five biggest soaps – Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks – battled it out to win recognition for their work over the past year.
The great and good of the soap world hit the red carpet for the most star-studded and glamorous event in the soap calendar, which airs on TV on Tuesday.
And after a sensational year of exhilarating drama, shocking scandals and action-packed stunts, it was a closely fought contest for the top gongs.
The big prize, Best British Soap, was snapped up by EastEnders, seizing the prize from last year’s winners Emmerdale.
Coronation Street’s Charlotte Jordan took home the Best Dramatic Performance, beating the likes of Chris Walker (Doctors), Danielle Harold (EastEnders), Jeff Hordley (Emmerdale) and Nikki Sanderson (Hollyoaks).
But Danielle Harold impressively won the Best Leading Performer gong, which is voted for by the public. She beat Charlotte Jordan, Shona McGarty, Dominic Brunt and Sally Dexter to the award.
While Aaron Thiara (EastEnders) won Villain of the Year over the likes of Todd Boyce (Coronation Street), Laura White (Doctors), Michael Wildman (Emmerdale) and Angus Castle-Doughty (Hollyoaks).
Meanwhile, it’s been a stellar year for storylines in the soaps, with plots to tug at the heartstrings, get people talking and leave viewers yelling at their screens with both frustration and excitement.
Winning Best Storyline was Incel Eric Targets Mason And Maxine for Hollyoaks, while Loving And Losing Lola for EastEnders and Paddy’s Suicide Attempt for Emmerdale were also nominated.
