CELEBRITIES flocked to a sell-out sporting event in Newport on the weekend.

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright was amongst more than 3,000 people to attend at Polo at the Manor on Saturday.

Other celebrities included Coronation star, Samia Ghadie, joined by husband, Sylvain Longchambon, and Welsh actor, Julian Lewis Jones.

Guests dressed to impress, in the hopes of winning luxury overnight stays at the five-star resort.

They drank wine, ate al fresco, and took part in the traditional stomping of the divots.

As a guest of honour, Ms Bright threw a ball to start off the polo games.

She said: “It’s a fabulous day of socialising, sport and relaxing with friends and family.

“As a fashion lover, it’s a great chance to get dressed up and see an array of glamorous outfits.”

Ms Bright was joined by her parents and three siblings: Georgia, Romana and Freddie, along with her partner, Lee Cronin.

The main sponsor for Polo at the Manor 2018 was Motorpoint.

Other sponsors included Bulmers, Hugh James, Castell Howell, The London Essence, Involve Recruitment, Radnor Hills and Champagne Jacquart.
