Helen looked sensational at the ceremony, clad in a classic black gown, which boasted a subtle hint of shimmer.

The Olympian slipped into a black, low-heeled pair of barely there shoes and kept her accessories to a minimum.

She was glowing as she smiled for photographs, and enhanced her natural beauty with a bronzed make-up look and lashings of mascara. 

Steve looked dapper in a royal blue three piece suit, which he teamed with a white shirt and skinny black tie, while holding up a union jack print umbrella.

Husband Steve tweeted his own message, writing: ‘Many thanks for all your kind messages. We’ve had the news that one twin has not survived, but are still looking forward to our new addition this summer. Sb.’

Earlier this year, Helen admitted that being a mother to Logan has helped change her priorities in a way that her unwavering dedication to sport never did.

‘The thing about being an athlete is that you are totally selfish and your world is very small and it revolves around you,’ she told Hello!  

‘But when you are a mum you have to be totally selfless as you have something that is far more important than you. Everything comes second.’

She added: ‘I never anticipated loving motherhood so much. I was proud of what my body could do as a rower but I am even prouder of it as a mother. As a mum you become so aware of what your body is capable of.’
