Gillian McKeith and her aspiring actress daughter Afton put on leggy displays as they attended the London premiere of a new Chicago-inspired show.
The mother-daughter duo pulled out all the stops as they sported long sparkly dresses on the red carpet at the VIP launch of Roxie Rocks Chicago on Wednesday.
For the occasion, Gillian looked as glamorous as ever in a sparkling black sequinned gown, which featured waist keyhole cut-outs and a side slit.
The TV nutritionist completed her ensemble with a pair of black boots and opted for a glossy make-up palette.
Meanwhile, her daughter Afton, 24, put on a very leggy display in a show-stopping pink sequinned gown with a daringly high side split that reached her hips.
She added to her frame with a pair of yellow and silver strapped heels and she let her outfit do all the talking as she kept her accessories minimal.

The pair were all smiles as they were treated to star treatment alongside other big-name attendees including singer Alexandra Burke.
Guests are reported to have enjoyed a 1920s-inspired menu and drinks before watching the new Chicago-inspired show at The London Cabaret Club.
The production, which is on stage until June 2025, follows the story of a woman named Roxy who dreams of becoming a showgirl.
Her longing for bright lights and fame is said to play out through dream-like sequences and dazzling musical numbers.
Taking to Instagram after the event, Afton shared a video of herself strutting around in her silver dress, revealing that she is currently preparing for the Miss England final.
‘When every location becomes your catwalk,’ she joked. ‘They said dress code was sparkles so I’m shining bright.’
Pageant queen Afton was a semifinalist in the Miss England 2025 competition after being crowned as the 2023 Miss Grand Scotland.
Afton is also an aspiring actress and made a foray into television with a cameo on Celebs Go Dating, where she was set up with Made In Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps.

On the show, a pre-recorded voice note revealed that Afton was on the hunt for a man who was ‘spontaneous’ and she could ‘get stretchy with’.
Keen to follow in her mum’s footsteps in the entertainment industry, Afton describes herself on social media as being a singer, actor and dancer.
Afton recently revealed what it was really like growing up as the daughter of famed TV nutritionist Gillian, who frequently featured on You Are What You Eat.
On the show, she helped families with notoriously poor diets embrace healthier lifestyles.
Gillian developed a degree of notoriety thanks to her habit of checking human stool samples, believing body malfunction can be determined through the smell and consistency of faeces.
Speaking to MailOnline, Afton previously admitted her mother’s regular TV appearances on Channel 4 led to unwanted attention during her school years.
‘I thought it was normal having my mum on television,’ she recalled. ‘I assumed that everyone’s mum was on TV because of my mum, but eventually realised that it wasn’t the norm.’
‘Kids at school started coming up to me and asking if my mum is Gillian McKeith,’ Afton continued. ‘I would go bright red as I was quite shy and didn’t know what to say.’

Thankfully, Afton was still young when her mother first found fame so got off lightly, but the same couldn’t be said for her sister Skylar, who is now a lawyer.
‘My sister was older and in secondary school when it all started so she experienced some bullying’, Afton explained. ‘Luckily did not to that extent.’
Yet Afton admits even she wasn’t exempt from her mother’s fastidious poo checks, despite being encouraged to eat healthily from a young age.
‘She is not obsessed with my poo as I’m quite healthy but she has definitely checked it a few times,’ she said.
‘My sister used to keep a poo chart and would keep my mum informed!’
She added: ‘She brought us up eating very healthily and doing a lot of fitness. My favourite form of fitness is dancing! It’s a way of life for us, I don’t know any different.
