Natasha Hamilton puts on a busty display in plunging sparkly top before taking to stage to perform at The Forth Awards after quitting Atomic Kitten

Natasha Hamilton put on an eye-popping display as she arrived at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on Thursday for The Forth Awards 2024, before taking to the stage.

The singer, 42, looked incredible as she posed on the red carpet in a sparkly black top with a plunging neckline, showcasing her ample cleavage.

She teamed it with a pair of figure-hugging silver and black trousers, embroidered with sequins in wavy striped pattern.

The mother-of-five finished off her eye-catching look with a number of chunky bracelets and diamond-studded black satin heels.

Natasha styled her fiery red hair in bouncy waves and sported a full face of glamorous makeup, complete with a slick of pink lipgloss.

After posing up a storm for the cameras, she took to the stage to belt out her hits for the eager audience.

She swapped her arrival outfit for a party-ready minidress, adorned with mirrored discs, silver sequins and black fringing.

And the pop star added a sultry edge to her ensemble with a pair of black leather over-the-knee boots, as she danced around the stage.

Also performing at the awards were Martyn Ware and Glenn Gregory of synth-pop band Heaven 17.

The musicians wore complementing shiny blazers for the show, and struck a slew of playful poses on the red carpet.

While Scottish pop duo Hue and Cry, made up of brothers Pat Kane and Greg Kane, were also in attendance at the event.

Natasha’s performance comes just a month after she announced she has quit Atomic Kitten after 26 years.

She took to her Instagram in October to break the news in a lengthy statement, explaining she wants to concentrate on her solo career.

She wrote: ’26 incredible years, writing so many wonderful chapters, but now the time has come for me to close the book on this one.

‘The ride hasn’t always been smooth but I wouldn’t change a single thing. I’ve laughed and cried many a time with the girls, experienced so many surreal moments and been blessed with a career spanning 26 years – it’s been incredible and something I will always cherish.

‘Since 2013 myself and Liz have been on the nostalgia train, and we have performed non stop since then (apart from the global pandemic) where we came back even stronger, with more demand for out infectious pop songs’.

Natasha went on to admit it had been ‘tough’ balancing her solo career with staying in the band, saying she had ‘outgrown’ that version of herself.

She said: ‘At the beginning of the year I didn’t know how to juggle being a Kitten, whilst also trying to break out as a solo artist, but I gave it a go and I have to say, it’s been tough

‘Mainly because I go from being this strong, empowered woman, building a brand new career, to transporting back to a version of myself I really have outgrown.

‘I have been living in two worlds and it really has been difficult navigating both.”

Natasha concluded by revealing she would be performing her last Atomic Kitten gig ‘for the foreseeable future’ that weekend, before adding a tribute to her remaining bandmate Liz McClarnon.

She penned: ‘AK was always there to pick me up and get me back on my feet, both mentally and financially – and that’s something I will always be eternally grateful for.

‘But for me, right now, this is what I need to do to be able to focus on all the things that mean a lot to me.

‘Liz, I wish you all the luck and love in the world with your work ventures and all the amazing things that are still to come in life for you – it’s been one hell of a ride!!’

The band first launched in 1998, with Liz, 43, and Kerry Katona, 43, completing the trio, before Kerry quit in 2001 after falling pregnant with her first child and being replaced by Jenny Frost, 46, who also eventually left.

Earlier this year Natasha seemingly reignited her long running feud with former member Kerry when asked about a possible full group reunion in years to come.

Speaking to The Daily Star she said: ‘Never say never, who knows what could bring us back together?’.

Before failing to mention Kerry in the line-up: ‘I’d love to do something again with myself, with Liz [McClarmon] and with Jen [Frost] Who knows?’

‘The door’s always open for Jen to come back whenever she wants.’

In 2023, Kerry made a heartbreaking plea to her ex bandmates urging if they could put their ongoing feud to bed so they can be friends again.

Kerry wrote in her new! magazine column ‘life is too short’ and she is ‘really sad’ that she doesn’t speak to her band anymore.

She wrote: ‘When something like this happens it brings home how I feel about my relationship with the Atomic Kitten girls.

‘It’s really sad that we don’t talk. I’ve reached out to them so many times. Life is too short.’

Meanwhile, Natasha also reflected on personal life in a rare interview on the My Dirty Laundry podcast, as she said her past love splits have led to the ‘sickest, darkest feelings she’s ever felt in her life’.

But she said there was something incredible about ‘learning from her bad decisions’ and learning about how to fend for herself.

She shares son Josh, 22, with her bodyguard ex Fran Cosgrave, Harry, 19, with actor Gavin Hatcher, Alfie, 14, with ex-husband Riad Erraji, Ella, 10, with boyband star Ritchie Neville and one-year-old Kitty, with current husband Charles Gay.

Natasha said: ‘We’re a blended family and sometimes I feel like people can’t fathom how you can make something work that from the outside looking in, that looks different or chaotic.

‘They just they can’t comprehend what they don’t know, but I’m sat here with five incredible children and my life has continued and flourished and got better, despite the traumas that I’ve been through in my personal life.

‘Did I ever want any of that? Of course I didn’t! God, you must be mad! Like, to ever wish any of that upon you – but I can’t live in the past.

‘I’m never going say I wish that didn’t happen. I’m not going to wish my life away. Everything has made me the woman who I am today.

‘I’m probably more accepting than most people are because I have been through a lot. I do not judge someone because of their circumstance. Absolutely not.

‘I judge people how they treat me. You know, how you show respect to people, like they’re the important things.’
