Caroline Flack presented the NTAs after party with Matt Edmondson last night

Caroline Flack walked the red carpet at last night's National Television Awards alone while boyfriend Harry Styles was touring the country with One Direction.

Xtra Factor host Caroline showed off her enviable legs in a brightly-patterned mini dress, which she teamed with black ankle boots and her new glossy brunette locks.

'Met so many lovely people on the red carpet tonight!!! Most had been standing there since 6am.....shish kebabs!' Tweeted Caroline, 32.

Caroline spent Monday in BLEACH hairdresser in preparation for her backstage hosting duties at last night's event in London's O2 Arena.

Though she appeared to have had the chop when she was snapped leaving the salon, Caroline had actually been hiding the tips of her still-long 'do under her coat. 

'Such a great night... Thankyou for so many lovely messages...@MattEdmondson is just brilliant...and what a nice eve :) xxx,' Tweeted Caroline in the early hours of this morning.
