Ageless Amanda Holden branded ‘hottest 55-year-old’ as she stuns fans in bikini

Hot on the heels of a topless photoshoot to mark turning 55, Amanda Holden has been enjoying poolside time in a bikini – or three.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge also celebrated her birthday by heading to Dubai for a swanky hotel stay with her family and friends.

Posting a reel to Instagram of her sunny getaway, the TV star gave a few glimpses at the resort’s gorgeous swimming pool and accompanying bar area, serving fresh fruit and homemade ice lollies.

She also showed off her luxurious suite, complete with dining and living areas and a huge outdoor balcony.

‘I’m in a bikini and I mean business,’ Amanda quipped at the start of her video, slipping off the shoulder of her robe to reveal a vibrant orange two-piece underneath.

She later posed poolside in it, accessorised with a pair of tinted shades, before switching to a turquoise bikini as she lay on the sand at a private beach sipping a cocktail.

The actress and presenter then strutted her stuff from an outdoor changing room in a yellow bikini with a matching loose shirt and gold flipflops.

’I recently spent a few days celebrating my birthday with family and friends in the beautiful @banyantreedxb,’ Amanda wrote in the caption of her post, praising her accommodation as ‘an incredible hotel’ with a ‘beautiful resort beach’ and ‘stunning’ pools.

‘The hotel itself is super chic and the spa is to die for. Had the most unbelievable room and we were looked after so well. ♥️ all my bikinis are @melissaodabash!’ she added.

Plenty of her followers praised how fabulous Amanda was looking, with former TOWIE star Jess Wright commenting: ‘The hottest 55 year old! 🔥🔥🔥🔥’

Pussycat Dolls icon Ashley Roberts also shared a dynamite stick emoji as she told her celebrity pal she was ‘looking good’.

Amanda’s special birthday holiday comes ahead of her returning to our screens with the BGT panel for the show’s 19th series.

Former guest judge KSI is now a full-time judge, joining Amanda, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell, with this personnel change bringing back Cowell’s ‘naughty side’.

The TV and music impresario went out to buy a trove of stink bombs, which Amanda told Metro and other press did not leave the production team best pleased when they found out.

‘Word got round that the stink bombs had been bought and the producers gave us a big talking to. We weren’t allowed them,’ she explained.

Alesha has also promised that this series is ‘back to the chaos that we love on our show. More than ever it just felt really bonkers’.

Once again, the competition will be offering up a prize of £250,000 and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance to its champion. 

Britain’s Got Talent returns on February 21 at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
