Queen legend Sir Brian May posed with his wife Lady Anita Dobson as they enjoyed the premiere of Cirque Du Soleil's show Ovo at the Royal Albert Hall, alongside stars including TV's Denise Van Outen, Vanessa Feltz and Dan Walker.

The pair looked equally glam in colourful jackets as they clutched their programme with their arms around one another on the red carpet in a chilly London tonight.

Anita, 76, played Angie Watts in EastEnders in the 1980s. She also performed its iconic theme tune in a version with words, the song Anyone Can Fall In Love, released in 1986. The track was produced by guitar icon Brian, 78, who she went on to marry years later in November 2000.

Their night comes comes after Brian's new year message which was both enthusiastic and gloomy, wishing fans a shot at "new horizons" and "new opportunities" but added that it was "hard to enjoy anything" without good health.

Rock star and astrophysicist Brian has endured several health challenges in recent years, including a "scary" stroke that he suffered in August 2024.

He concluded, talking about the New Horizons NASA mission to Pluto on which he was a guest collaborator: "The FUTURE is still out there!! Let's go find it!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR to all creatures! Including YOU!!!"
