Celebrities have joined Britons across the country heading out to the bars after more than 100 days in lockdown.

Leading the pack was Rod Stewart and his glamorous wife Penny Lancaster, along with model Lottie Moss, actor Ed Westwick and reality star Laura Anderson enjoying their first night out in months.

Many stars were quick to flood social media with snaps from their momentous trips to the boozers, including Louise Redknapp, Laura Whitmore and Coronation Street‘s Lucy Fallon, as stars joined much of the nation heading back to the re-opened pubs on so-called Super Saturday.

Rocker Rod was spotted leaving the celebrity hotspot Annabel’s with his wife Penny, looking stylish in a monochrome ensemble before adding a pop of colour with a striped scarf wrapped loosely round his neck.

But his model wife stole the show in a striking fuchsia satin midi dress, which boasted tie-wrap detailing around the waist, finishing the look with a pair of black pointed-toe heels and an understated clutch bag.

The couple walked out of the exclusive celebrity hot-spot hand in hand as they headed home after their night out.  

Lottie put on an extremely leggy display in a revealing black ensemble as she exited the Treehouse Hotel in London following a night out.

The model still ensured she was taking precautions during the current climate by donning a protective face mask as she headed into the Capital, along with her skimpy bra top and thigh-skimming skirt.

Lottie was seen heading out for the evening accompanied by a mystery male companion, as she joined many stars taking their first steps into a pub since they were ordered to close in March.

Ed was also spotted heading out of the famous hot spot Annabel’s alongside his girlfriend Tamara Francesconi, looking dapper in a blue velvet blazer, white trousers and a paisley printed scarf. 

Laura Anderson used the grand reopening to embark on her first date with boyfriend Tom Brazier, after confirming their romance back in May.

The Love Island star put on a leggy display in a black mini dress with ruched detailing as headed to a Mayfair eatery for a romantic evening with her hunky beau.

Other stars also got their glad-rags on for their first night on the town in many weeks, with TOWIE’s Yazmin Oukhellou and Love Island’s Alexandra Cane both attending the launch of The Power Of Health cafe.

Yazmin flaunted her ample assets in a plunging pink bustier teamed with skinny blue jeans as she arrived for the café’s opening in London.

The star teamed her look with pale pink wedges and a chain-strap bag as she made a glamorous entrance for the opening. 

Meanwhile Alexandra opted for a flirty floral bustier with layered jeans and chequered trainers as she headed into the launch.

The star – who recently unveiled her two stone weight loss – finished her look with platform trainers as she arrived for the opening.

Love Island co-stars Demi Jones and Paige Turley couldn’t hide their excitement as they got glammed up for an afternoon together at Menagerie in Manchester.

In London’s Mayfair,  Imogen Thomas continued to flaunt her sizzling physique in a floral mini dress which showcased her toned pins as she enjoyed a night out.

Meanwhile, DJ Sian Welby put on a leggy display in a black leather skirt and white leather jacket, as she also left The Treehouse Hotel, while Luisa Zissman donned a funky mustard yellow dress as left the celebrity hotspot Annabel’s.

Lovebirds Molly Smith and Callum Jones were packing on the PDA as they stepped out in Manchester after spending their entire isolation together.

Molly flaunted her enviable physique in an all white ensemble comprising of high-waisted pleated trousers and a bandeau crop top, which accessorised with a Louis Vuitton bag, pearl hoop earrings and a leather jacket casually draped over her shoulders.

Callum cut a more casual figure after opting for a pair of grey slim-fit trousers, a burgundy and lace-up sneakers.

The pair put on an affectionate display as they strutted toward the camera before Callum playfully lifted Molly off the ground. 

Many other stars also took to social media to document their first visits to the pubs who eagerly welcomed punters after being closed for more than three months. 

Louise Redknapp, 45, took to Instagram to say: ‘yasss we’re going for a pint’ from the back of a car on the way to the pub with her designer friend Lewis Shaw.

The singer then shared a snap of her table covered in snacks, beers and cocktails as they made the most of their long-awaited trip to the pub.

Meanwhile Laura Whitmore, 35, cut a stylish figure as she hung out in a beer garden on Saturday, opting for a knitted co-ord and sunglasses as she enjoyed a pint outside. 

She wrote alongside the snap: ‘Cheers to the freakin’ weekend.’

Former Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon went on a trip to her local with her boyfriend Tom Leech, drinking a lavish cocktail while he enjoyed a bottle of Budweiser. 

Thousands of drinkers have seized upon today’s wave of lockdown easing to enjoy their first pint since bars shuttered three months ago.  

But as the revelry grows livelier into the night, there have been fears pub-goers will fail to stick to rules to keep ‘one-metre-plus’ apart. 

Pub-goers are set to sink a staggering 15million pints at 23,000 establishments across the country, experts predicted.

Customers have been warned that strict social distancing would be in place, along with other measures such as pre-booking tables, temperature checks and ordering through a mobile app. 

They will be hit with hiked prices for beer, wine, cider and spirits as pubs including Wetherspoons desperately try to make up for lost business.  

But that has not stopped revellers descending on the chain’s pubs in their numbers, including The Regal, in Cambridge, where drinkers reportedly waited for up to an hour to get in.

Roads are expected to be gridlocked in many areas as more than 10 million motorists take to their cars and flock to beauty spots.

Meanwhile A&E departments are preparing for a surge in booze-fuelled patients by setting up tents outside hospitals to keep people socially distanced as they wait.

Police in Devon and Cornwall tonight say they received more than 1,000 reports, most of which were ‘drink-related’, while police near Bradford were called to reports of 200 people packed into a village pub.

As drink flowed and tempers flared, four people were arrested in Brentwood High Street, Essex. following a ‘disturbance’. 

In Leicester, where a local lockdown has been enforced due to a spike in coronavirus cases, police say there are ‘more officers on duty than on New Year’s Eve – to prevent people attempting to sneak out of the city in order to reach the pubs outside the lockdown zone.
