She's reinvented her image in recent months in a bid to be more sophisticated.

And Imogen Thomas was certainly looking stylish as she attended the Kensington Christmas Party at Bombay Brasserie in South Kensington, London on Tuesday evening.

The 32-year-old star looked incredible in a bold mixed animal print dress, which boasted a seriously high side split.

The dramatic dress fell to the floor and gave Imogen the opportunity to show off her toned legs.

She kept things modest with a high neckline and paired the look with a pair of grey heels and a colour pop orange clutch.

The former Big Brother star wore her hair up in a bun and opted for kohl-lined eyes and a nude lip.

The Welsh beauty has opened up about the difficulty of dealing with her dad's cancer diagnosis.

Imogen only made the news public in November with an emotional tweet, and has now revealed the stress of the situation has left her in a permanently tearful and anxious state.

She told new! magazine: 'It's the most heartbreaking thing ever... I need to be as positive as possible, especially for [my daughter] Ariana.'

Keeping it private: She waited a year to share the news with her Twitter followers, but has now decided to talk about it in a bid to help others in similar situations

The bubbly brunette also explained that her father's struggle has made her value her family all the more.

She is hoping her boyfriend Adam Horsley, with whom she has 22-month-old daughter Ariana, will pop the question in future.

'I think [I'd like him to propose], especially as my dad isn't well. It puts everything into perspective,' she said.
