The 50-year-old actor was hosting the awards - held at Grosvenor House, London - that honour members of the community who embody the spirit of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Pride.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz before the event, Alan - who presented the Tony Awards earlier this month - said: "It'll be a little bit less stressful tonight, as I don't have to sing or dance, I just have to introduce some nice people.

"It's lovely that the thing about tonight is that it's community awards. It's not for celebrities, businesses or whatever. It's for real people who have made an effort on the ground, and that's what excited me about coming tonight."

Other celebrities in attendance were 'Harry Potter' star Matthew Lewis, 'Eastenders' legend Barbara Windsor, N*Sync's Lance Bass, Blue's Anthony Costa and Duncan James and singer Conor Maynard, among others.

Winners on the night included mental health campaigner Jonny Benjamin, the man behind the Channel 4 documentary 'The Stranger on the Bridge', which saw him trying to find the man who stopped him from committing suicide on a bridge in London, as well as the 'Oldest Gay in the Village' 92-year-old George Montague, who came out aged 59.
