Ruby O’Donnell looked partied out
The actress appeared to be having a blast though
Owen had ditched his red velvet jacket and bow tie by this point, while Jemma swapped her red figure-hugging dress for a miniskirt and leather jacket.
Their Hollyoaks co-star Ruby O’Donnell, 22, was bleary-eyed, but in high spirits, as she left the venue.
The actress looked great in a black crop top, which showed off her abs, and zebra print trousers. She smiled brightly as she closed her eyes, ready to finish her night.
Another Hollyoaks star, Ross Adams, was snapped ordering a McDonald’s to his hotel for a tasty late night snack.
Owen and Jemma – who play Romeo Nightingale and Rayne Royce in Hollyoaks, respectively – smiled happily at one another as they posed for pictures on the red carpet earlier in the night.
Speaking about their relationship to The Celeb Report, Owen joked: “Jemma kept messaging me and messaging and asking me to go on dates and then I just gave in.
“Ahhh seriously though it took me a while to pluck up the courage to ask her out.
“I’ve just been on holiday with her family they are all amazing.”
