There are awards nights, and then there are awards nights where tequila shots are being knocked back, mouseys are being demonstrated and Dean Gaffney is sliding into DMs. Welcome to the UK Glamour Awards 2026!
Tuesday 3rd November saw some of the biggest names in the British adult entertainment industry descend for an evening of glitz, glamour and well-deserved recognition. Babestation was there in full force, and we certainly didn’t leave empty-handed! In fact, we had a rather special reason to celebrate, as Babestation took home the award for Best Industry Website/App. Our very own PR man Adam had the honour of heading up to the stage to collect the award. Not a bad night’s work! But enough about the awards for a moment. Let’s talk about the people, the partying and a few questionable decisions involving tequila.
A Blast From the Past and Plenty of New Faces
I’ve been knocking about the Babestation live cams world since 2008, so I’ve certainly seen a few changes along the way! These days, my role is a little different, and working as a Babestation blogger means I’m getting to know plenty of the faces who are making their mark on the industry now. The UK Glamour Awards was a brilliant excuse to get out, catch up with some familiar faces and meet a few people I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting before. I’m always up for a bit of a catch-up, and it’s even better when there’s a room full of gorgeous people and a good excuse to get dressed up!
It was nice to bump into Michelle Moist, as well as catch up with porn icon and XMA winner Ella Hughes. It’s lovely seeing familiar faces, especially when you’ve known people from different corners of the industry over the years. I also got to spend some time with my sexy bestie Zeena Valvona, who, as always, was looking absolutely fabulous. It’s not often you get to combine a glamorous industry event with a catch-up with one of your favourite people, so that was a definite highlight!
Tequila, Pineapple and the Craig David
One of my favourite discoveries of the evening came courtesy of the lovely Megan Rox, who introduced me to something called the ‘Craig David’. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, but it involves a tequila shot followed by a pineapple juice chaser. I actually loved it! I’m not sure what Craig David would make of having a drink named after him, but I’m certainly not complaining. It’s definitely one I’ll be introducing to a few more nights out.
Megan, I think you’ve started something here. Although I’m not sure whether I should thank you or blame you!
Katie Price, Rhian Sugden and a Few Mouseys
The guest list was certainly impressive, with Katie Price in attendance, where she picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award. A fitting recognition for someone who’s been a household name in glamour for decades and has certainly left her mark on the industry. I also had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Rhian Sugden, glamour icon and host of the Option One podcast. Naturally, I had to impart some of my own wisdom. I introduced Rhian to the art of the ‘mousey’ – a selfie angle taken from the perspective of a mouse. Now, this might sound like a fairly insignificant contribution to the evening, but I take my selfie advice very seriously. It’s all about getting that angle just right, and trust me, once you’ve tried a mousey, there’s no going back.
Rhian has officially been introduced to the technique, so I feel I’ve done my bit for the glamour industry. Forget lighting tutorials and professional photographers; sometimes all you need is a very low camera angle! And because apparently the evening hadn’t already delivered enough surprises, Dean Gaffney also made an appearance and managed to slide into my DMs. You really couldn’t make it up! I went along expecting a night of interviews, awards and catching up with the girls. I wasn’t expecting to come away with a tequila recommendation, a new mousey recruit and a Dean Gaffney story. Just another day at the office!
Babestation’s Big Win
Of course, one of the biggest highlights of the night for us was seeing Babestation take home Best Industry Website/App. Always lovely to bring a trophy home, and even better when it’s recognition for a brand you’ve been part of for so many years. I also got to present Mamaplugs an award which was pretty epic.
There’s a lot that goes into keeping Babestation ticking along, and it’s not just about the smoking hot models you see on screen. There’s a whole team working behind the scenes, from content and production to all the other bits that keep the show running. So it was really nice to see that work get a bit of recognition. Our PR guy Adam headed up to collect the award on behalf of the team, and I’m sure there were a few proud faces watching on!
There were plenty of other familiar faces picking up awards throughout the evening too, including the gorgeous Kiah Monae, who won Best Glamour Model. Huge congratulations to Kiah and all the other winners. Always lovely seeing familiar faces having their moment. We’ll be sharing more from the evening, including the winners and all the celebrations, in our full awards round-up, so keep an eye out for that!
One Hell of a Night!
From catching up with industry legends to discovering new talent, interviewing gorgeous babes like the iconic superstar Mamaplugs and getting involved in the celebrations, the UK Glamour Awards certainly delivered. For me, it was particularly lovely to experience the evening from a different perspective. Having started out as a Babestation babe back in 2008, attending as a blogger gave me the chance to reconnect with an industry I’ve been part of for so many years while getting to know a whole new generation of performers.
It was also my first time interviewing the babes, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to chat with so many different adult creators and performers. It’s easy to recognise a gorgeous face, but getting to know the person behind it and hearing some of their stories is what makes these events so much fun. It was a brilliant night for Babestation, a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the people who make this industry what it is, and a reminder that sometimes the best part of an awards ceremony happens away from the stage.
Congratulations to all the winners, nominees and everyone who made the evening such a success. And to Megan Rox: I’m still thinking about that Craig David!
