Her role as Bionic Woman may not have brought her the success she was so desperately after, but Michelle Ryan certainly proved to be a big hit among celebrity circles last night.

The former EastEnders actress stepped out in a demure black, white and gray number during ITV2s launch of its new autumn schedule.

Ryan, who is currently staring in ITV's touching new romantic comedy Mr Eleven, joined a long list of celebrities who turned out in force for the bash.

Along with blonde  beauties Abigail Clancey, Holly Willoghby and Fearne Cotton, the stars were looking their very best at the launch in Kensington, West London.

ITV programmers hope their new shows which include CelebAir and Ryan's new comedy Mr Eleven will be a big ratings booster for the channel.

Francis will no doubt be working hard to encourage Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton to take one another on in their new panel show Celebrity Juice.

WAG Abigail Clancy, who will be starring with George Lamb and Michelle de Swarte in The Fashion Show,  chose a rather demure outfit for the night dressed in a black jacket and trousers.
