The presenter recently spoke about the importance of making her first Christmas without her husband Derek Draper ‘fun and happy’ for the sake of her two children (pictured in 2019).
Darcey stunned in a long-sleeved black minidress and denim jacket, while Billy looked dapper in a Ralph Lauren quarter-zip and tailored black pants.
The trio looked in high spirits as they headed to the star-studded event.
Susanna Reid, Charlotte Hawkins and Richard Madeley also attended.
Despite the fun event, Kate recently spoke openly about the difficulties the family will face over the festive period following the loss of her husband Derek, but is looking forward to making “new memories” with her children.
Derek was one of the country’s hardest-suffering coronavirus patients and remained in hospital for more than a year, but never fully recovered after the virus left lasting damage to his organs.
“This Christmas will be difficult, as all firsts are, but I told the kids, ‘Let’s do what feels right, let’s do some new things and make some new memories,'” she said. Woman and home.
“You have to try to let things evolve into new memories, and they will guide me.”
The TV favorite went on to recall the recent Christmases before Derek’s tragic death, which were also quite “challenging” due to his illness.
The family laughed inside the pub, with Darcey enjoying a glass of champagne.
Darcey seemed to be having a good time at the holiday party.
Despite leaving his role on the ITV show four years ago, Piers made sure to round up some of his closest showbiz friends for a festive party.

After the festive event, the trio returned home together in a black taxi.
‘It will be our first Christmas without Derek, but to be honest, the last four or five Christmases have been challenging, although we have also had the joy of having Derek there with us.
“I hope I’m not whining all day, but I’m sure there will be emotional moments. However, I want it to be fun and happy for Darcey and Billy because it’s been a tough few years for them. They might think, ‘At least Dad doesn’t have money anymore.’ pain”.
Kate had previously paid tribute to Darcey after receiving her A-Level results in August, seven months after Derek’s death.
And Darcey made sure her dad was still with her by packing a family photo, taken before he contracted the disease in March 2020, and one of his favorite Panama hats.
Sharing a video of the teenager’s departure with her Instagram followers, Kate revealed the unframed photo and hat Darcey previously wore at Wimbledon in the back seat of her car while on the sidewalk outside her home in North London.
Captioning the clip, he wrote: ‘And just like that it was gone! That helpless little baby we brought home from the hospital 18 years ago has gone to #uni!
‘Like thousands of other parents, this weekend I was playing that game of Jenga trying to fit everything into the car. Thank goodness my dear Victor has a huge boot!
He added: “It’s such an emotional moment on so many levels and boy is the house quiet.” But Darcey, we couldn’t be prouder as you begin this new chapter in your life and know that your dad will be with you every step of the way.’
