Amanda Holden, 54, sends fans wild with her latest bikini pics

Daily Mirror08-06-2025
Amanda Holden sent fans wild as she stripped down to a tiny pink bikini in her latest social media video. The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge donned matching pink heels to strut around a swimming pool on the Spanish holiday island of Majorca.
Looking more like she was walking down a catwalk, the age-defying broadcaster and actress looked tanned and toned as her long blonde hair billowed behind her in the short clip, as Calvin Harris' latest track Blessings played over the top.
In the caption, Amanda revealed she was in Majorca to film an ad campaign for Revive Collagen. She wrote: "Shooting a new campaign for @revivecollagen #mallorca," before revealing her bikini was by swimwear brand Melissa Odabash, which is loved by celebrities.
And fans couldn't quite believe what they were seeing, as one wrote in the comments: "Imagine being in your 50's and looking that good in a bikini," as another replied: "Right?" As many more posted heart and flame emojis, a third said: "Looking fabulous!!!" A fourth declared her "perfection", as a fifth commented "what a body." A sixth joked: "Look amazing, wish I could walk in those shoes!"
Her celebrity pals were equally in awe. Ex-EastEnders' star Jo Joyner wrote: "You're ridiculously hot" followed by a flame emoji. "There she is," said former The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers. Vicky Pattinson simply wrote: "AMANDA!!!!" with four flame emojis. While her Heart FM co-star, former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts commented: "Jheeez."
It comes days after Amanda went 'naked' during her radio show following yet more Ofcom complaints about her outfits on Britain's Got Talent. Her appearance even made her co-host Jamie Theakston do a double take.
As she sat in her DJ chair on Thursday morning, Amanda said on air: "Good morning, Mr Theakston. It is 6.30am and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here?" Jamie replied: "Do you know what... you are wearing clothes, aren't you?"
But though it looked like she might not be, Amanda was in fact just wearing a pink strapless dress which wasn't visible behind her monitor. Joking about her choice of outfit for the day, Amanda said: "I just looked [at myself] and went, 'What? Have I forgotten to put my clothes on?'"
Amanda's BGT finale dress, which looked almost bridal in a white silk fabric with a low cut front, wasn't a hit with some viewers at home who complained that both her and co-star Alesha Dixon's frocks were "too revealing for a family show". Ofcom revealed they'd received 72 complaints in total.
But thought she is regularly under fire for her risque outfits, Amanda has vowed to never tone down her fashion choices. In July 2017, Amanda wore a plunging see-through Julien Macdonald dress, which went on to be the most complained about TV moment of the year.
She's previously revealed how all her outfits are checked before she goes on stage and joked there's an even a 't*t committee' who tell her whether she's alright to wear a dress or not.
"There's a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air," she shared. "There's a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there's the lady, who's the producer, who says, 'Mandy, it looks great'."
In another interview, Amanda told Closer magazine: "I'm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I'm never worried. I think people should have fun with fashion!"
On her most complained about dress, she added: "It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It's been called another national ­crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up."

ITV accused of ‘cutting key Love Island scenes' as viewers ask ‘what are they hiding?'

Fans were sure there was something suspicious happening cut out ITV accused of 'cutting key Love Island scenes' as viewers ask 'what are they hiding?' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans think they're not getting the full picture when it comes to what is happening in the Spanish villa. Eagle-eyed viewers have accused show producers of editing the long running ITV2 dating show to allegedly hide the actions of some of the contestants. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Love Island fans were suspicious of the show's editing Credit: Eroteme 3 They say the women seemed to be over the top when slamming Harry Credit: Eroteme 3 It comes after the Grafties showed Harry pursuing Shakira while still with Helena Credit: Eroteme The accusations came after the notorious Grafties Awards episode aired, as fans clocked how the women in the villa started to realise footballer Harry had been the one pursuing Shakira all along. Harry had long been coupled up with Helena, but they decided to split up on Sunday's episode, and he ended up recoupling up with Shakira, after it was revealed during the Grafties that he still had feelings for her. But now Love Island fans have grown suspicious of what they are being shown, especially when it comes to what the Islander women were saying about Shakira. Some speculated that the women seemed to overcompensate by blaming Harry after the Grafties, because they had bad-mouthed Shakira before the truth was revealed. One fan wrote on Reddit: "The Grafties showed multiple times that it was Harry that was pursuing Shakira while she kept shutting it down (or trying to)... I immediately had a feeling they've [the other women] been putting all the blame on Shakira even more than what we saw. "But my guess is they were even more trash talking Shakira on how she is trying to steal Harry, and it's 'all her doing'.. otherwise there was no reason to say this so strongly so many times. "What do you guys think? I like to try and 'outsmart' the producers by guessing what they edit out." One person replied: "I imagine they all kept thinking Shakira was the one initiating these conversations - when it was all Harry. But agree OP there could have been even more side chats on this for this to fully make sense." Another added: "You're so right! Why else say that if they didn't all blame her or had some misgivings about Shakira. "What people don't understand, sometimes very small things that aren't active bullying can make people feel bad and it's not something you can sum up in a clip like a mean comment... Love Island star Harry kisses Shakira's neck and goes in for a snog in very intimate snuggling moment "These are all really small things you can't really put into a short clip but you actively feel it when it happens to you." After the Grafties, Harry admitted that he still had feelings for Shakira, despite being exclusive with Helena. Then Shakira ended her couple partnership with Conor, saying she had suppressed her feelings towards Harry. Harry and Helena ended up going their separate ways in emotional scenes. Helena was then picked by Blu to recouple with after the bombshell was brought back in to the villa in a surprise move. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Strictly Come Dancing has signed two new dancers for the 2025 series. Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon will join the BBC show later this year. The pair were all smiles as they beamed and waved at the camera as they arrived at the dance studio to meet the other dancers for their first rehearsal. Alexis nailed off-duty glam in an oversized khaki shirt, round dark sunnies and a chic brown leather bag slung over her shoulder. Her fiery red locks were swept into a high ponytail, falling in effortless waves. By her side, Julian kept things cool in a fitted black tee and matching trousers, with his dark hair slicked back for a sleek finish. Both are familiar faces on the global Dancing With The Stars circuit and bring a wealth of performance experience to the UK version. Alexis made a name for herself in the US when she won So You Think You Can Dance in 2022. She was the first female ballroom and Latin specialist to take the title, earning the title of America's Favourite Dancer. Since then, she's performed as a troupe member and guest pro on the American Dancing With The Stars, as well as touring with the show for the past three years.

Julian, who grew up in Australia, began dancing at the age of 10 and has represented his country at international level in both ballroom and Latin styles. He's appeared as a professional on three seasons of Dancing With The Stars Australia and has toured worldwide with Burn The Floor.

Amanda then shares her own farewell statement on Instagram thanking co-stars but failing to mention Gio. Giovanni's dad Piero insists there were no signs of a fall out and the pairing could have gone all the way. He praised his son as kind and polite. November 2023: Giovanni is reportedly gutted by the situation and is considering his Strictly future as questions are raised about his conduct. January 2024: Amanda's PTSD diagnosis comes to light and she demands CCTV from rehearsals to prove that Giovanni's training methods weren't acceptable.

The Corporation stands by its man after emergency meeting March 2024: Giovanni publicly states he has no intention of leaving Strictly in a TV interview with close pal Anton du Beke. Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore enter the picture. Allegedly the two celebs, who were both previously partnered with Giovanni on Strictly, didn't feel the BBC took their issues with his methods seriously enough. The pair have a closed meeting with Amanda where tears are said to be shed. May 2024: We reveal Giovanni is leaving the programme after having talks with show bosses He leaves the country with girlfriend Molly Brown on holiday The BBC launches an internal investigation after three complainants instruct lawyers.

The Italian dancer, who was previously a regular fixture on the show, was absent last year and has faced allegations relating to behaviour in the rehearsal room. Graziano Di Prima has also left the show following a separate complaint involving Love Island's Zara McDermott.

Rebecca Loos' searingly honest justification for David Beckham 'affair'

David Beckham's former personal assistant Rebecca Loos is set to make a TV comeback this week as she takes part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and is speaking out on her alleged affair with David Beckham once again More than two decades have passed since Rebecca Loos first claimed she had an affair with David Beckham, but it still remains one of the most explosive celebrity scandals of the early 2000s. ‌ Rebecca, a former glamour model and Beckham's personal assistant in 2003, is making a TV comeback on Channel 4 this week as she takes part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Like all the recruits, Rebecca faced a grilling in the show's Mirror Room. Jason Fox and Chris Oliver questioned her motives for being on the show before asking how she felt about her affair with Beckham now she's had the time to reflect on it. ‌ "It felt unjust that my life was pretty hell and his (Beck ham's) life kept going and kept blossoming. I've been accused of being a liar. I've had a lifetime of opinions around me, I've definitely developed thick skin. ‌ "I think the public opinion now has softened, at least from what I'm gathering since the documentary came out with the Beckhams a couple of years ago. I think it is now because thanks to social media, there is a whole different following out there, which it's a double-edged sword." The drama began in 2003 after Beckham had just completed a high-profile move from Manchester United to Real Madrid, a career-defining transfer that promised fresh footballing glory in Spain. ‌ With the move came a new entourage, including 26-year-old Rebecca Loos, who was hired as a personal assistant to help the Beckhams settle into Spanish life. In September that year, Beckham and Loos were photographed leaving a Madrid nightclub together. Whispers of an affair quickly began circulating, although both parties remained silent. But everything changed in April 2004 when Loos sold her story in an exclusive interview with News of the World. She claimed that the pair had been romantically involved for four months. Explaining why she chose to embark on the alleged fling, she said: "We just connected. People noticed it." Explaining that the idea of group drinks back at the hotel were floated after a night out, she claimed David told her: "Why don't we just lose the rest and why don't we just go back together?" ‌ "I gave him a look I was very surprised, very taken aback. I said, '**** off' in a joking manner. But there was a look and he was still looking at me and I was looking at him. I think one of the girls we were with came up and sat between us. I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong. Admitting she knew he was a married man and that she was worried about jeopardising her job, she shared her reason for agreeing. "I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong and people were not happy because I was being very unprofessional and he's a married man. Then it dawned on me what he had asked me and I decided I did want to go back with him so we gave each other a look and paid the bill and left. I couldn't wait to be alone with him and I knew he felt the same. We dropped off the other two people in the car and starting kissing quite passionately all the way back to the hotel... It was like magnets, pretty amazing." ‌ Beckham issued a firm denial, calling the allegations "ludicrous" and reiterating his commitment to his wife, Victoria. He said in a statement released at the time: 'The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids.' But the damage had been done. Victoria, who had remained in England during the early months of Beckham's Madrid tenure, was thrust into the spotlight as headlines cast doubt on their relationship. She later described that period as 'the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life.' ‌ Loos was reportedly paid a large sum for her story, including a televised special with Sky One. She later claimed she went public not out of malice, but because 'better it comes from me.' The Beckhams never pursued legal action against Loos directly, but in 2006, they reached a confidential settlement after filing defamation claims against News of the World. Beckham has always denied the allegations. ‌ In 2023, Netflix 's Beckham docuseries reignited interest in the alleged affair. Though Loos is never mentioned by name, the show offers emotional testimony from both David and Victoria about the strain the scandal caused. 'It was the hardest period for us,' David admits. 'For us to go through that was incredibly difficult.' In March 2025, Loos re-emerged on 60 Minutes Australia to reaffirm her version of events. 'I've never lied about a single thing,' she insisted. Now living in Norway, Loos explained how the experience impacted her mental health and why she chose to speak out again: 'I'm going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media. All I had on my side was the truth.' Admitting she knew he was a married man and that she was worried about jeopardising her job at the time, she shared her reason for agreeing. In an interview for Sky TV she said: "I gave him a look I was very surprised, very taken aback. I said, '**** off' in a joking manner. But there was a look and he was still looking at me and I was looking at him. I think one of the girls we were with came up and sat between us. I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong."
