Frumpy Kate Thornton ditches her glam image by stepping out without a scrap of make-up on

She is known to millions as the glamorous presenter of TV hits including The X Factor and, most recently, Don't Miss A Trick.

But Kate Thornton opted for a more natural look when out and about in London yesterday.

The 35-year-old arrived at the OXO Tower on the Southbank dressed casually in a pair of blue jeans and a red top.

Kate Thornton looked less than glamorous without her make-up on yesterday (l), particularly when compared to her usual dazzling appearance on TV (r)

Most noticeable though was that she wasn't wearing a scrap of make-up.

Her appearance was a far cry from the well-groomed presenter that adorns TV screens up and down the country.

Still, Miss Thornton looked in great shape considering she gave birth to her first child, a boy named Ben, just three months ago.

She has been dating DJ Darren Emerson for four years and the couple got engaged in 2007.
