Michelle Heaton stuns in a strapless purple mini dress as she joins husband Hugh Hanley and their children at Haunted Mansion UK premiere

Michelle Heaton looked nothing short of sensational as she took to the Haunted Mansion UK premiere’s spooky black carpet in London on Tuesday.

The former Liberty X star, 44, showcased her jaw-dropping figure in the strapless purple mini dress with ruched detailing.

Michelle was joined by handsome husband Hugh Hanley as they treated their children Faith, 10, and AJ, eight, to a fun night at the cinema. 

The stunner completed the look with quirky embellished heels and diamond jewellery while tying her brunette locks into a high ponytail.

Personal trainer Hugh opted for a powder blue shirt and jeans while the kids donned colourful co-ords.

Haunted Mansion is inspired by Disneyland’s famous theme park ride of the same name, and stars Hollywood heavyweights Tiffany Haddish, Rosario Dawson and  Jamie Lee Curtis.

Star Wars star Rosario plays single mother Gabbie who moves into a stunning New Orleans mansion. She is joined by her nine-year-old son played by Chase Dillon.

But then they soon realise that the massive home is filled with spooky ghosts so they call in a team of experts to help them get rid of the zany spirits.

The ghosts cause all kinds of havoc in the old home, just like in the famed Disneyland ride. The team of experts that help her get rid of the spirits are quite the motley crew.

There is a paranormal expert (played by LaKeith Stanfield), a psychic (Toffiany Haddish), a priest (Owen Wilson) and a historian (Danny DeVito) for assistance.

In the poster they are seen carefully walking up a flight of stairs in the large home as someone carries a lit lantern.

The online synopsis reads: ‘A priest, a professor and a paranormal investigator try to help a woman and her family after they unwittingly move into a haunted mansion in New Orleans.’

And the clever tag line is, ‘Home is where the haunt is,’ a play on ‘Home is where the heart is.’

Haunted Mansion will premiere in cinemas on July 28, 2023.

Justin Simien directs the comedy with a script by Katie Dippold.

Simien previously revealed at the D23 exhibit that he used to work at the Walt Disney theme park. And he would ride the Haunted Mansion on breaks.

He shared: ‘For me, there was something about that ride I felt was there in the script.

‘It was funny and full of interesting characters, but with a dark edge to it. I just related to it. It felt I knew how to make it,’ he said.

‘I love New Orleans and I felt I had a responsibility here to make sure all the little Easter eggs are there,’ continued Simeon, according to Deadline.

Meanwhile, a lot of fuss has been made about Curtis’ character.

She takes on the role of psychic medium Madame Leota.

Hollywood legend Jamie shared the news last year as she simply captioned the Instagram post with the emoji for a crystal ball, appearing to confirm the casting.

Production got underway in Atlanta and New Orleans in 2021, and the latter city hints at the original attraction which is set in New Orleans Square.

While Jamie’s character requires her to look into a crystal ball, the ‘Freaky Friday’ star recently revealed she avoids looking in the mirror.

The movie star checks her reflection when she’s carrying out tasks that require her to do so, but she doesn’t spend a lot of time scrutinizing her appearance because she doesn’t want to be critical of herself.

She said in 2022: ‘When I brush my teeth, of course, I look in the mirror. When I pluck my eyebrows, of course, I look in a mirror. But when I get out of a shower, I just don’t stare at my body in the mirror. I’m not denying what I look like, of course I’ve seen what I look like. I am trying to live in acceptance. If I look in the mirror, it’s harder for me to be in acceptance. I’m more critical. Whereas, if I just don’t look, I’m not so worried about it.;
