Maya Jama beamed and waved as she left MediaCity in Salford in the early hours of Saturday morning after hosting Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day event.
The 29-year-old Love Island host wore a shiny black trench coat, but the stars of her outfit were her gray Dakota Hotel bedroom slippers.
She also wore a dark gray hoodie tracksuit over a white T-shirt and waved to onlookers with both hands as she left the famous studios.
Friday night was only Maya’s first time hosting Red Nose Day, but it was veteran Sir Lenny Henry’s last time hanging up his Red Nose after 36 years at the helm.
Maya and Lenny, 65, presented alongside Romesh Ranganathan, David Tennant and Davina McCall, who looked stunning in a red jumpsuit.

Backstage, The Traitors host Davina, 56, Maya and Laura Whitmore posed for a fun snap.
Sharing the photo to her Instagram story, Laura, 38, who presented Love Island immediately before Maya, wrote: ‘Let’s go girls! These beauties’.
Maya also embraced her story, sharing a cute selfie with Rosie Ramsey, Paddy McGuinness and outgoing host Sir Lenny Henry.
Paddy, who hosted Take Me Out throughout its run, and Rosie, a podcaster, will also host the evening.
It is Lenny’s last stint as host of Red Nose Day after nearly four decades at the helm.
The comedian and actor co-founded Comic Relief in 1985 with Love Actually screenwriter Richard Curtis and will continue to serve as life president.
Sir Lenny said: ‘The money that people have sent in repeatedly, every single time, has helped over 100 million people.
‘That’s a lot of people, and there aren’t many organizations that can say that.’

He added: ‘If you’ve helped do that, thank you and it’s not about numbers anymore.
‘It’s about what you feel you can give because we know there’s a battle going on at the moment. People are having a hard time.’
Lenny has been dating theater director Lisa Makin for over a decade since his marriage to Dawn French ended in divorce.
Money raised by Red Nose Day goes to organizations that help tackle homelessness, poverty and mental health, along with other causes in the UK and around the world.
There were tributes to Sir Lenny from singer Jerub, while the cast of spoof comedy series W1A – including Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville and Spaced actress Jessica Hynes – reunited on the night to search for a new host.
Fans were also delighted with the star-studded spoof The Traitors: The Movie on Friday night, starring Jonathan Bailey as Harry Clark and Suranne Jones as Claudia Winkleman.
Hollywood stars Julia Roberts, Paul Rudd, Hugh Grant, Olivia Colman and more also made a surprise appearance on the night.
After Comic Relief ended, an hour-long special called A Whole Lot Of Lenny aired, showing the journey of the famous comedian, 65.
From the Shaftesbury Theater in 1986, viewers were given a glimpse into the enormous amount of work that went into putting on the show year after year.
Lenny sat down with Alex Jones and recalled some of the best Comic Relief moments, as chosen by viewers of The One Show, hosted by Alex, 46.
They included: Lenny in Luther, Lenny vs. Tom Jones, and Lenny vs. Frank Bruno.
He ended the show by revealing how much money Comic Relief had raised since its inception in 1988.
The figure elicited gasps and cheers from the audience as well as confetti on stage: £1,602,539,154.

Kate Winslet, Jamie Dornan and Catherine Tate also provided entertainment on the night, while pop rock band McFly opened the show with a medley of some of the best-loved Comic Relief singles from the past few years.
Titanic star Winslet treated viewers to a late night CBeebies Bedtime Story aimed at parents as she read F***, Now There Are Two Of You by Adam Mansbach.
Actor Jack Black also issued a musical call to action, and singer Paloma Faith will perform her new single, Enjoy Yourself (The Red Nose Day Edition).
Doctor Who star Catherine Tate was among the stars of a spin-off of the BBC’s hit reality show The Traitors, titled The Traitors: The Movie.
