The Crème de la Crème ball was hosted by the glamorous Ward family, raising thousands for a children’s charity

The sixth annual Crème de la Crème ball took place in the grounds of the stunning home of Ashley and Dawn Ward, near Alderley Edge.

The couple are now high-profile celebrities following the appearance of Dawn and her pals on TV’s Real Housewives of Cheshire. Hundreds of guests descended on a glitzy marquee, which was themed around LA by Night, including familiar faces from the world of sport and entertainment.

The evening was compered by Key 103’s Darren Proctor and TOWIE star Gemma Collins, and included entertainment from X Factor stars Carolynne Poole and Ruth Lorenzo, with a headline performance from Alesha Dixon.

Over £130,000 was raised for Caudwell Children, a Stoke-on-Trent based charity which provides support and services, equipment, treatment and therapies for disabled children and their families across the UK.
